Methinks their 7th September release date is wrong ....... but wouldn't it be great if it was right?

Yeah I think you're right. I think it's basically Q4 2007 no-one really knows exactly when yet.

Still Â£25, I doubt it'll be found cheaper.

Amazon have the release date as 30th November - no doubt a wild guess but it's likely to be fairly accurate. I hope.

Actually they have Super Paper Mario on there for Â£25 too which seems rather cheap.

I've ordered both, nevermind eh? I was going to buy them at some point.

You can watch the first hour of Metroid Prime 3 on YouTube.
Part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLkKu3wzxFE

I've only watched the first part, and it does look rather good.

Ordered

Ordered both Mario Galaxy and Super Paper Mario. Also ordered the Wii version of Trauma Centre.

That post cost me Â£75!

(Yet I still wish they had Metroid Prime 3 there to pre-order too).

They seem to have put the price up to Â£29.00...

Incidentally, I've been trying to order an R4 from these guys:

https://xbox-entertainment.co.uk

the gentleman that is running this site, Matt Wright, is a cretin who will claim to have dispatched your items, claim 2 weeks later when they don't show up that he'll send another one, but when you press him on the promise he'll claim he didn't make that promise despite it being in a fucking email!

Then, whats even more amusing, is that he'll mis-construe your offer to visit the depot to receive a replacement/refund as intimidation.

edit: he's now admitted he's crap and has given me a refund.

So... Super Metroid now on the US VC list. Should I get it?

Super Metroid? Yeah, go for it - great game: bags of atmosphere, challenging levels, excellent gameplay.

No brainer.

There's a worldwide shortage of R4s at the moment according to the gossip on gbatemp.net, people have been worried they were going out of business but the software updates have kept on coming. I think they're just having manufacturing issues.
