I may try it at a friends house. But he may have his own copy too.

I think I'm gonna keep mine sealed for awhile...since I have dozens upon dozens of others games I should be playing anyway. This way, if something weird happens with the price, I'll still have a sealed copy, and if I really want to play it, I can just find the .iso somewhere.

Ah snap, mine shipped too!

I'm not sure what to do myself though. I'm in the middle of Skyward Sword which is addicting... soooooooo who knows. But man, I am so stoked for this game. I think I saw comments elsewhere that it's probably got dual audio too, I definitely hope so.

I'm picking mine up today, but I don't even have a Wii at the moment.

I did that with the Prime Trilogy.

...who knows, could be worth holding onto it for now!

I bet you wish you hadn't opened Prime Trilogy Unfortunately, it's the lesser Wii Metroid game that sits unplayed on my shelf.

Does anyone know if the controller bundle edition of this game from Nintendo comes with special packaging or anything? Or does it just come with the standard game and the retail controller pro seperately?

Meh, an untested sealed game to me is worthless, might be defective. I am starting to see more Metroid Trilogys in my visits to various Gamestops. I counted six so far in different locations. I like the Trilogy, but Metroid 3 is my favorite of the three. It has a better controller layout, too bad the game save is not compatible with the individual release.

Interesting. I'm curious about the custom controller. On the software side, is there any bonus if Xenoblade was preordered? Are the bonuses if any, just unlock codes or actually a download of sorts? As far as I can tell every bonus I have run across on the Wii has been an unlock code. The Conduit series and Red Steel 2 for example, ALL versions has the bonuses right in the disc, a simple matter to enter a code to unlock an additional weapon.

I picked up my copy from today. It shall remain sealed though, I'm not ready to tackle a 70-hour game right now. Honestly I think it won't go up in value, but I'll wait until I see how it sold.

At least the artbook is nice, if a little bare.
