GameStop customers will enjoy a nice extra with their Other M.

Those who pre-order Metroid: Other M from GameStop will receive an exclusive 16 card art folio. This bonus will be available to both online and in-store purchasers.
As is to be expected, we have only a partial view of what one of these cards will look like. The image provided does not include a reference for how large the cards will be either, so whether these are the size of a postcard or a postage stamp is unknown.
Unanswered questions aside, these cards are at the least a small token to further excite Metroid fans for the August 31 release date.
The amazon deal is quite good, but I Metroid is a game I can't wait for. So I'm going to do the instore pickup at Gamestop. I have a $25 gift card to use anyway.If you have Amazon Prime (free for a year if you're student, free for a month otherwise), they have guaranteed release-day delivery.
You can't wait 3-5 days?

Not for Metroid! There are a very few games I don't mind spending money on and Metroid is one of them. And I'm happy some people have no trouble with Amazon. I shop there often, but I never trust them to get a game quickly. I've been burned far too many times.
If the game bombs, it will drop. Even Nintendo games tend to drop in price sooner rather than later if it sell poorly.

Even if you paid the $10 for release date shipping on Amazon, you'd still come out $10 ahead in the long run because of the credit.

Best Buy and Target, and maybe a third place I don't remember. This was many months ago though so I don't know if they would still have them.
I just checked Best Buy's website real quick, I didn't see a listing for the stand-alone ExciteBots (with Wheel was $50), although they have Pikmin listed for $15.
Especially due to recent problems with online purchases (including Best Buy's), I'm trying to avoid having to deal with online stores.Amen. I too have been having problems with online purchasing including Best Buy. Ordering from Amazon.com in Canada is a chore and a half. You have to hope that the place will ship up here. My problem of recent was with the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Even though you have your credit card ready in hand they choose not to ship. So I ship to friends in the states and have them send it here.
Why not just use Amazon Canada? Or are they more expensive than regular Amazon?They are almost always more expensive and this was a matter of available quantity at a good price. Were talking $50 in the states vs. the cheapest copy in Canada on Amazon at $96 plus shipping.
Got any pics of the text portions?You bet, I just didn't have the time this morning. I am cropping the images and will post them shortly to the gallery link I uploaded so stay tuned.
