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.

Honestly, I doubt that.  The production costs in the case is more than Nintendo is willing to put up for a long time.  It's possible that maybe they originally intended to re-release it as a standard Wii release, but there's no way the steelbook case and extra materials were anything but limited.

Also, I'd be curious if that Smash Bros. single-layer disc is true or not.  They'd have to cut things out or overly compress the movies/audio in order to do so, so it'd be a really gimped version if they did...

I'm thinking the fact that there would have very little development costs involved would have helped offset the few bucks extra for the steelbook.

I find file sizes for games aren't always representative of how large they are.  Mario galaxy is about three times the file size of galaxy 2 for example.

I tossed the slipcover to my copy ages ago. It's really tacky, and makes it more cumbersome to open up the game for when I want to play one of the Prime games.

Truly a great investment, though. I say if you have a GCN copy of Prime 1 and a copy of the Trilogy, you're set.

I placed this on ebay, as I just want to get rid of it and I wasn't offered anything.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/290787227416?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

I don't know the price on it, so $1.00 + shipping as of right now seems fair enough to me

I asked you how much you wanted for it, but you never got back to me.

...If anyone has them and is willing to sell...

...I wasn't counting on paying for them...

I've been all over the place and haven't had any time.  I don't know what I want out of them, and the contradictions between "I am buying, but not paying" kinda threw me off.  I don't know what the price should be, but they are up on ebay with about 7 people watching it.  Watchers don't mean crap, but still 0 people have bid on it

*I understand that you might be 'paying' for shipping, but since the game is hard to find, so are the inserts.  Very rarely do I give things away for free =X  (not trying to be mean).

Well I really hope that was you Movie that bid, because it only went for $0.99 + $1.50.  Definitely a steal IMO
