At Gamestop, you get a free Metroid Prime t-shirt with your reservation. I'll be pimping the chicks with that thing.

Already got it and the shirt and the gamestop I ordered from had kickass preorder posters to give out too!

I already have all three games in working condition, so I doubt that I'll bother buying them again.

Turns out that they got an original song for the title screen of the Trilogy. It's actually one of the best songs I've heard from Metroid. Nice.

I got the poster too; man, it's kickass! That alone is worth it.

EDIT: Found the song:

Definitely worth a listen.

Sounds like what happened to hundreds of people at Brawl release. :p

The first wave of Wii consoles produced used drives that obviously weren't well-tested for reading dual-layer discs. Anything bought since the latter half of 2007 (I actually bought mine after buying Prime 3) won't have that problem.

I bought mine on the day it came out and haven't had any problems. (knock on wood) Is the MP trilogy a dual-layered disc ?

I only played Brawl for an hour or so and never played it again. I remember my wii updating itself and then being rather noisy while I was playing, haven't noticed anything like that with the MP trilogy.

Of course it is, there are 3 big games crammed in that disc with more content than the original 3 games contained. My Wii is working fine with it and I got my Wii launch day. I've only played a bit of MP:1 on the trilogy edition so far and it's delicious.

Believe it or not that's actually a floppy disk.

I'll give it a shot when i can.

Mister ...

I bought the trilogy today because I couldn't resist the shiny collector's tin. Have yet to pop the disk in my console but even if it doesn't work, it'll still look nice in my collection. :D

Is the new included bloom lighting in Prime 1 noticeably different/better?? Hard to tell in photos.

bloom never equals better.

One shall stand, one shall ball.

obviously there needs to be a brown filter over everything for bloom to really improve the visuals.

You do notice it in the cutscenes, but otherwise, it's not a huge deal.

One big turn off for me, though, is the lack of game-specific titlescreens. MPT's title screen has cool music, but is meh for the comparison of ALL the rest, which have been taken out. I used to love navigating them.
