metroidposter.jpg

GameStop had already promised a T-shirt and art booklet as a bonus for pre-ordering the Metroid Prime Trilogy, which releases at the end of August. Well now they've added a Metroid Prime poster (above) as an additional item to customers that order online. I'm not really a "pre-order person", but I do love free stuff. And this is a lot of free stuff!

It's a cool looking poster, but I really just don't have the drive to play the Metroid Prime games again. I'm too excited over Other M to really care.

WOW thats a lot of cool/free stuff, but I already ordered in store so I won't be getting the poster unless I change my pre-order. Also, I wish this was coming out soon and not towards the end of the summer so that I would have more time to play all 3 games, but I'm not complaining considering this is a something that Nintendo rarely does for us.

I'm so tempted to pre-order now, but last time I pre-ordered from Gamestop I ended up getting screwed over. I didn't get the pre-order bonus and when I sent them an email about it all I got back was an email saying that there were "limited quantities" and that they apologize.

This poster really should've been made into the game's box art.

The boxart is unappealing. I like this A LOT better. Hopefully, they will have the double-sided covers, with this on the other side.

That's actually a pretty cool poster! Not that I'm a big Metroid fan or anything, but it's still pretty cool.

This is Retro's swan song for Metroid. Pretty cool they're adding in all this extra stuff on top. Nice package and worth $50 imo.

I only care about in game exclusives and Gamestop already duped me on The Conduits so called exclusives. Fool me once shame on them, fool me twice screw them.

Uh oh, someone has to get out of their house, or at least, their TV room.

Did you know people cant use cheats or enter codes to get the same things as you IRL?
It's so cool :)

I've never played any Metroid games before (I know, *gasp*). Do you think I should start with this game(s)? With the freebies too...

@Anjoola

I would suggest playing Super Metroid, Metroid Fusion, and Zero Mission first, that way you appreciate the 3-D games more. (Or less for the purists)

If you're real hardcore and like the series enough, be sure to play Metroid for the NES and Metroid II for the GB afterward. But seriously, stay away from Hunters.

Sorry, I didn't quite get that. All I am saying is that the Conduit in-game exclusives was marketed as "exclusives" when anyone can use them on any edition.

FYI, I am out of my house more than I am in it. It's fine if you like the non in-game promo stuff but for me, i'd rather save some money unless it's in-game stuff. I could care less about the conduits artbook and coverart.

GOD, I wish I was at home so I could pre-order this. I'm in Texas at the moment, but I live in Virginia, so any GameStop here is hundreds of miles from where I'll be when this game is released...

Wait, did that say online only?

*goes to pre-order*

@Meteorz

Thanks for the suggestions! I needed some games to occupy myself this summer.

However, I think I'm going to start with the 3d games. I dunno, I just don't really like retro/old games.

Save money? The special edition/preorder stuff usually costs the same.
But I was just messing with you lol.

You can like what you want.

Cool, no offense taken. I know they retail at the same price but if I bought it online I would have saved roughly 8 bux.

You can always cancel your pre-order and get a refund of whatever you put down.
