    Wii / GC debates are like, sooooo three years ago.

    Seriously, the only argument that could conceivably work in this thread is "I don't feel this is a good deal" and the only person I'd expect to say that actually admitted to buying the damn thing.

    To be more on topic myself...I've never played a Metroid Prime game since I didn't like the original Metroid / Super Metroid games...but at that price, I would surely at least give them a chance. Sadly, it seems I have missed the boat. I will keep my eyes open though.

    Snag an ad and make Walmart price match it. I'm going to do it today.

    Got Wal-Mart to price match the game for me. The first two I stopped by were sold out and the one I bought was the last one. The ad is also only good until the 26th so if you didn't get it yet, you're out of luck.

    I am very sad about this. My boyfriend lives in Chicago and has tried 3 times to get it for me, failing each time. I am in Canada and cannot take advantage of this deal. Woe is me.

    Sheesh...I might go for it eventually anyway.
    The only inaccurate statements I see are coming from you. Your assertions that people are "ragging on the game for having GC style graphics" and your claim that the Wii has the same technical specifications as the GameCube are both incorrect.

    I've seen nothing from you except constant postings that demand that someone provides a citation on a forum while you never have to, and incorrect statements. I think I'm going to take advantage of the ignore feature here for the first time.

    Well if you're going to do that then I wont bother replying. Kinda contradictory to ask something of me and then not wait for an answer, don't you think? There's reasons for everything there, but since you don't care I guess I get to move on without bothering with you.

    No one said anything of the sort. The actual post you took offense to is quoted below and is true.
    The way the post in reference was worded it was very easy to read it as a complaint that the game used the same graphical quality as the original. Instead of addressing this, however, users chose to attack my statement about the Wii's capabilities and argue with me over that.

    The only inaccurate statements I see are coming from you. Your assertions that people are "ragging on the game for having GC style graphics" and your claim that the Wii has the same technical specifications as the GameCube are both incorrect.
    The Wii does not have significantly better capabilities than the GameCube when compared to other generational jumps. This is a fact.

    I've seen nothing from you except constant postings that demand that someone provides a citation on a forum while you never have to, and incorrect statements. I think I'm going to take advantage of the ignore feature here for the first time.
    And this is just ignorance.

    I didn't read her latest post , but I'm sure it was just more double talk while failing to adequately back up her own statements (despite her incessant demands from others to do so with every post), and continued signs of poor reading comprehension.

    Notice how he went so far as to put me on ignore, but still can't quite get over his obsession with me. ;]

    I'm not the one who refuses to let it go. I'll be done here as soon as people quit asking questions.

    I don't think I've ever witnessed any one person here create so much drama in so many threads simultaneously. Good work. While some of us are irate, most of us are just lurking here, enjoying the show.

    Thank you AspergerChick.

    It's some of my better work, I must say.
