i got it for $50 and it's still a total steal. seeing that I don't own Echoes or Corruption, I saw that I'm better off with this, not to mention that the Wii Controls for the first two games make Prime (the only Metroid game i've played beforehand) fresh again. besides, they're all so good, it's almost criminal getting all three for just $50. BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE! All of this in one disc packaged in a sexy tin case

I am sorry to burst your bubble, I work at Fred Meyer where this ad is present and good at, and know for a fact it was a misprint, the games are and will be $50 at our store for awhile, we have been mad busy all week telling people of this misprint and correcting our mistake, so $29.99 is "NOT" what you will get it for but regular price.znator

Sorry that you didn't read all of my post. Because your competitors seemed to have no problem price matching your mistake, which is funny because you lost business when the lower price should have increased it.

And for the last time, stop telling everyone here what price to pay for these things, it seems nobody caught my post about how you're not giving your money directly to Nintendo. Before you rant and rave about what a game should cost, stop and realize that copies of the game can be had for around $42 when you buy direct, meaning that you're giving about $8 to a company NOT named Nintendo! Everyone here keeps defending a price point by listing the qualities of the game, yet I'm the only one listing the quality of the service.

Stop getting served, realize the difference between real price and true value. And stop trying to defend a product by only going over the gameplay or shininess aspect of the package. Nobody yelled at me for picking up Marble Saga Kororinpa for $15, but everyone seems to have a problem with getting a Nintendo game for nearly half off. Get over it.

Hey don't yell at me for a mistake, we are only doing our job, and we were told outright don't sell the game at that price because its a misprint, we have to listen to our bosses or get fired, and do you think I wouldn't want to pay that price for it, I would gladly jump on it if it remained true at my store, I don't make the ads, I didn't make the mistake, I just work in that department of the store and that's just what I was told.

I never said you had to pay $50 for it, I am saying the game is well worth it if your "willing to pay that much money out", especially since buying them outright is going to cost you over $80 right now, if you want to go and pay a cheaper amount then so be it, I am not going to be the one to stop you, thats your choice and anybody elses decision what price they are willing to pay for it.

And lastly, I was just pointing out the fact that my company made a mistake, something we have been dealing with the past week, and have gotten yelled at alot, but its not the workers fault, its not my fault, its the fault of the person who printed the ads, and you will not get it for that price "at our store".

I am sorry if I came off on the wrong foot, meant nothing by it, and once again if your willing to pay $30 or $50 for the game that's your opinion,I for one think its worth the $50 especially since outright you will have to pay alot more for the old Gamecube versions

I like how people took your post offensively.

I don't.

I felt like Dick Gumshoe, realizing he could save the case with information he stumbled upon just as the decision looked final.

Now I feel like my finding just caused an arguement to go on that I didn't understand in the first place and want to distance myself from.

But I CAN'T, because I presented it and thus are held accountable for all actions afterward.

Now I understand, I'm not hardcore.

I, for one, definitely apreciate the information you posted. Without knowing about the buy one get one half off sale at Toys R Us, I would have never ordered the Metroid Trilogy and Little King's Story.
