SCDC-00276~7: METROID PRIME & FUSION ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS

[Ramza]

hey, anyone know the street value of this item as of late?

I only ask because I found mine recently after it having disappeared from my collection for a looong time.

I'm not *planning* on selling it, but depending on how Fiscal Year 2012 runs, it might become an option.

I'm not sure how much this helps, but maybe it's something to start on. These shops on YJA seem to be selling this new (actually, it looks like the same shop twice but...)

http://page14.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/j...ion/s248372824 (¥3360)
http://page3.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/c307335398 (¥3058)

Maybe that's a little strange because this is out of print in other shops, so maybe they don't really have it in stock? That seems weird for a YJA listing though.

Those do seem like weird YJA listings to me too.

Anyone seen an eBay auction of this one lately?

No, but it's selling brand new for about $55 on eBay and only for $40 at otaku.com, so I wouldn't expect your copy to go much over that.

Yeah, I just nabbed this sealed for around that price. I have to admit I'm kind of surprised by that considering it's age (almost 10 yrs) but at least I was able to add it to my collection.

I had heard the album years ago but after hearing it in game (I just played the game for the first time last month) it made a much larger statement. Not saying you can't appreciate it outside the scope of the game, but it really helped me for some reason - especially with the boss and Phazon Mines themes.

Just snagged a couple of these “sealed and new”, considering their age, wondering if they are legit...are they officially still running reprints?

Nah, this soundtrack has just been in print that long and for whatever reason there's still plenty of stock left. I guess they overestimated how many would sell or something. I bought mine new from Amazon a couple years ago. Kirby 64, Smash 64, and Megami Tensei I & II are/were also like this.

Now if only they would do Metroid Prime 2 : Echoes. Ugh....

How do they get away with calling a game Metroid Fusion and not giving it the sickest of jams.
