    I managed to get myself the Zelda DS cart and the Nintendo Press Kit for $97.51 shipped to the UK... I was quite chuffed, considering the majority of them went for over $100 before shipping was added.

    Now I just have to wait for it to arrive...

    I wouldn't spend ten bucks on that. When the game actually comes out the preview will be worth squat. I can't see too much long term collector value in it. Some scarcity, but big deal..

    I just got my Press Kit that I won a few days ago and I was very impressed with the quality of the trailer on the DS. It really shows what the DS display is capable of I think.

    I have to disagree with you Bronty-2. The value will come from the fact that it is the first extremely limited piece of DS software. There will almost certainly be more limited edition DS carts in the future, but this will always be the FIRST, and yes, you're right, the fact that there is roughly only 1000 of these in exsistence is a big deal.

    Word, I couldn't have said it better myself. I second what he said.

    Well is it 1000 or 5000? I thought one of the posters above said 5000. If it's only 1000, then I can see it keeping its value better, for sure. It still doesn't impress me though - it's just a preview. Ten years from now I can't see anybody paying $100 for it. My .02

    Pretty sure it was 5000? I'm not expecting a rise in value. I think I'll wait awhile till after the game comes out and then maybe I'll nab em when they are < 50 dollars.

    Well, As I said before, I spent $117.50 on my cart, Mario Kart Stylus and press pack. But I bought it for myself so I don't really care if it goes up in value or not - it's just nice to have something so rare (there are only about 1000!). However, I do think it will go up a bit in a few years as they become more rare...

    How do you know there are only 500 Zelda Trailers? Do you have insider knowledge?? If there are only 500 of them that makes it pretty damn rare already!

    No I think that one was 2 weeks ago.
