Metroid Prime Trilogy...

[Spoooon]

That collector's edition in the tin seems to go for 90 to 100 bucks on ebay.

Are these being sold to people with more money than sense?

 

[ImpulsE69]

Really?? Hmm..maybe I should sell mine...

 

[gorcorps]

It had a very limited run and people like the game

So what? People buy rare shit all the time.

Mine is still in the shrink wrap. I'll hold on to it for a few more years.

You think it'll go up in value? Dreamcast version of Ikaruga doesn't seem to get much interest these days. I wonder if that's due to the multiple re-releases or if it's just lack of interest.

Probably the ease of finding a download and burning it to a disk and simply using a boot disk. No modding of the system necessary.

Plus the brand value of Metroid > Ikaruga.

Was thinking of putting mine up. Ugh, maybe I'll just hang on to it.

If you have the tin cover then it is the collector's edition? I bought it back when just because I thought I would like it. Wasn't a fan of the controls. I wouldn't mind selling it.

EDIT:

Yep the plastic cover that slides over the top says Collector's Edition. Awesome accidental buy!! Although the plastic is pretty scratched up, the tin is fine.

Am I missing something here? I realize asking and paying are 2 different things, but why are people asking so much for it? There is one that is $3k? I think I paid $20 for it new... lol

I guess they just didn't print very many. I was wondering the same thing whenever I was browsing around eBay and saw what they were auctioning for.

Little bit of column A, little bit of column B.

I found Metroid Prime to be a dramatically well done reimagining of Metroid in the modern FPS world. I would have no problem paying a premium to get those games in pristine condition, at all, if that were my interest at the time. I never got the chance to finish any of the other games; but I can imagine they are pretty damned good if you wanted to play Metroid without the Minecraft graphics, based on my experience with Prime 1.

I think the series is really boring and overrated. BUT, maybe that's just me not wanting to play FPS games on a console. Super Metroid and Metroid Fusion are the best in the series.
