So, we all know about Gamestop getting a bunch of "preowned" copies of Xenoblade recently to sell at a high price - and that seemed really sketchy - but it's hard to outright prove that they were a reprint, as likely as it seems.
Seems someone at Nintendo age caught a glimpse of the "preowned" Metroid Prime Trilogy copies at gamestop, which are going on sale tomorrow for 84.99. Anyone who has seen Metroid Prime Trilogy knows that they were all steelbook cases, where these seem to be regular Wii cases.
Now, I don't know if gamestop just gutted the steelbooks or something, but they'd have to go through all the trouble of printing their own insert (which didn't exist before) and using a different case to do that, so it seems unlikely. My question is if this is true how can they get away with selling something as preowned that...literally didn't exist until this new shipment. Super sketchy at best. And also if true where does Nintendo themselves fall in all this? Hopefully tomorrow we can get a little more confirmation from people who can check these out in store.
