"Metroid Prime Trilogy" Slipcover, Instructions, or Art Book?

[Moviefan2k4]

I finally tracked down a working copy of this, and it came with the steel case, but the other items weren't inside. If anyone has them and is willing to sell, you can either PM me here, or email me.

I don't have the game (I regret not purchasing it when it was first released) so I can't really help, but what exactly do you mean by "working copy"?

I bought a copy at a local Gamestop yesterday, but the Wii wouldn't read it. I took it to a different location that had another one, and they said the first had been damaged by a disc refurbishment machine.

Ah ok, I know that older Wii's have problems reading dual layered discs (which Metroid Prime Trilogy is) and thought it was related.  Sucks though that the game probably won't sell and the case will most likely go in the garbage

But good luck on the hunt   I loved the first 2 prime games and have yet to play the 3rd.

My first copy was just the disc alone, but when I got it replaced, they included the steel case without any extra charge. Now I'm just looking for everything else (minus the ads, of course).

I know certain Wii systems have trouble reading the Dual Layer games.

My theory is this is the reason why production for the game was abruptly stopped.  Nintendo never said why.  As far as I can tell it was never meant to be a limited edition type thing.

I remember reading that this game and Smash Bros. couldn't be read by older Wiis.  Pretty sure Smash Bros. was re-released on a single-layer disk.

You would probably have a better chance finding a complete copy sometime down the road than find someone with a complete copy willing to sell the slip cover portion.

I'd say enjoy playing it and keep your eyes out for a cheap complete copy.

I realize they are expensive but once the Wii U comes out and people start selling their Wii stuff for dirt cheap you should be able to find one.

The 3rd is really the best IMO.  Totally worth it!

My launch Wii has never had an issue with dual layer, it has had issues with MPT

The reason that I know it's not a DL issue is that my backup plays just fine.  If the Wii were going to have a hard time reading anything, then a DL DVD-R would be it.

Based on what I've experienced, I can't help but think you may be right on this one.

I have the 3rd sitting on my shelf...bought it some 3-4 years ago but never been in the mood to play it I will soon though.

Running DL DVD-R's?  USB Loading is where it's at   although I won't lie...my Wii is hard and soft modded but I will rarely play a game by running it off a disc anymore.

Mine is also hard and soft modded

I hard modded way before soft modding, so I had a lot of backups. 

[mojoeskateco]

I love the soft mod!

Less wear on games and don't have to get up to change games!

Ah, ok lol, mine was hard modded way before I softmodded also, but once I softmodded I decided that USB loading was just easier (well...with some exceptions depending on the game).  I still create a few back up discs here and there of games that I really like but I store them away with the originals.

I have a launch Wii System and i bought Smash Brothers day one and i personally haven't had any issues with it. Maybe its just luck of the draw

This.

But I do have a friend who ran into the Dual Layer issue eventually, and had to send his Wii in to Nintendo.

I have an extra Metroid Prime Trilogy Manual as well as the black sleeve thing inside that opens up (looks like an art book to me).  I really don't know what kind of price I would place on it, but I'm not just giving it away either =\

not my picture, but I have the bottom left and bottom middle items
