And Skeo, how come we ain't never seen you in these parts before?
And to reiterate my shame, I haven't got Metroid Prime yet.
Joeyjojo told me to kill myself because of it, but I just can't seem to die.
Haha.
I will get it soon. Soon.....yes.......maybe today. Hmmmm.......

I know how you feel. There was one EB store I went to and everyone working there seemed to have an X-Box controller up their rectal area. They would be condescending toward you if you didn't know about the release dates beforehand and would seem annoyed if you ask them for anything.

Heh, do you live in NSW blackfoot? If so, THPS3 was a mere $12 in The Games Wizards about three weeks back. I was very tempted to get it, but I was already sitting down...
And Kelly Slater is stinky =P
Go get Wreckless, best $20 game of the lot!

-EB has quite a few copies there.
-Target, I think, has sold out.
-I didn't check Kmart
-I don't think Funland Games even knows that Metroid is even out yet. No stand, no nothing. Or maybe they just sold out too.
Big W at Chullora Marketplace has no copies. Either Sold out, or no idea.

Is anyone else in AUS having trouble getting hold of metroid prime??
Yeah, it was tough work getting Metroid Prime for free, a week before it came out
Wait, no it wasnt. Oh well, back to trying to finish Metroid.... FOR THE SECOND TIME!

Grace Bros. my good friend.
Xmen, Wreckless, Mat Hoffman, Kelly Slater, Minority Report and Rocky are each $19.95
And just out of intrest, are you the same Hybrid Hunter that posts on GFF?
PIAC, quick, you need R.O.B the robot buddy to pilot your time machine that'll take you to the scary world of the future. I mean, wow, there'll be talking robots, everybody will get around in tubes, and New York will be called NEW New York. Thanks to Futurama, we know what to expect!
Carry a stick at all times! A big one!

i hate EB because of the whole xbox controller up the ass thing.
plus the store near me doesnt even give gamecube a wall of its own, it is confined to makeshift shelving around one of the columns that holds up the roof.
and they screwed me with perfect dark, and made me pay $20 extra for it, and didnt let me get the pack with the expansion in (making me purchase it seperatly for more) all because i preorderd and had paid my deposit. *ssholes!!!!!!
AND they always break release dates, and i generally buy my games from toys r us cos i work there and get a discount, which means my less concerned friends get new games a day or two before me and dont let me forget about it!!!
oh, and ive been around, for a long while infact.... i think i made about 50 odd postings on the old boards, i just dont have a lot of time, and its quicker just to read stuff and not bother replying, especially when i leave for a day or two and my post has reached two pages so the people who asked me questions at the start probably wont even read my reply!!!!!!!!
