I say it's "eight eight", though I'd much prefer them to call it "srebb" as it obviously is suppose to be.

lol no way

Mr. Nate here thinks he knows more about Metroid than me... what a silly head. I insisted it was Ess Arr Three Eight Eight... and he doesn't agree. As for the sound clip, you'll note that the computer has a little echo after everything she says, as well as a gap between her words... Nate thought there was a gap between Eight Eight and that was what made him think that it was Eighty-Eight... I guess. Could we also get a cleaner sound clip, like for example the first time the computer says it, when there's no music/elevator sound? That'd help tremendously in deciding this, although the one Bladegash gave us is good for the moment.

I'd have to say that it is "eight eight" the computer's echo, in my opinion, just makes it sound like "eighty-eight."

I say three eighty-eight, but I'm sure that in space stuff, they say the numbers individually.

Well yeah... on all the sci-fi stuff I've seen the planets that are designated with numbers have their names pronounced one number at a time. Would be weird if it you guys were right though... that's like Tallon iv, pronounced as letters instead of roman numerals.

Wait, it IS supposed to be roman numerals right? Shit.

The music kicks in right before it says the planet's name. I tried to disable the various sound channels to see if I could playback the vocals alone, but it didn't work.

Sounds like eighty-eight to me: It's what I've always thought it to be.
And it makes so much more sense than eight eight to me.

Also, if it's not eighty-eight, what the heck is that sound between the eights then? Cause that's what's the difference between the two numbers is.

Wow Nate. We sure are 1337 today. I'll not press A and let the narrative play out. From what I can gather from both of our clips, sounds like Sr-3 eighty-eight to me! 8)

Here's a slow motion version of it. It sounds so much clearer that way.
