Metroid Prime 3 is selling in the GAME online store for £7.98. Amazing bargain, right? Wrong. The problem is they don't have any stock and as far as I can tell that's been the permanent situation for about a year. I've registered for stock email alerts, so I should know.

I went into my local GAME store today and asked them if they had any copies of Metroid Prime 3 new and the assistant asked me "for which console?". If that wasn't bad enough, he went on to say that it was an old game so they didn't have any stock and weren't planning on getting any new stock in.

So the 8th best reviewed game (as per Gamerankings) on the best selling console isn't being stocked by the leading computer games outlet in the UK!? Anyone who knows anything about videogames knows that MP3 is a must-own wii-title, so what is GAME thinking? What chance do good games stand of performing well on the Wii when they come up against this kind of commercial incompetence?

I just noticed the Matroid typo. Is there any way I can change that? I feel it undermines my rant somewhat...

Metroid Prime 3 is no longer in print, that's why.

Metroid Prime Trilogy isn't coming to Europe till at least September and this situation has been going on for months (long before the announcements). Why is one of the best games on the Wii "out of print"?

Perhaps they ran out of ink?

It's the only plausible explanation, isn't it?

why would you want MP3 when Metroid prime trilogy is coming out in a month?

Just went to the shop to buy the conduit, but they didn't have it =[ Decided to buy zelda: the twilight princess, but for 56 euros! I don't care anyway, I got a free zelda: the collectors edition a little while ago( 6 years ago to be exact, but never played it untill now)...

But my point is they had metroid prime 3 for 20 euros... :)

because it doesn't sell, it doesn't matter if the games is one of the best, retailers are not gonna have a game that won't sell on their shelfs.

^ It does sell, atleast where I live, it's not because things don't sell in your country that it doesn't sell somewhere else. The reason why it sells here is probably because it's cheap.
