Not much of a deal but about the same as the Gamer coupon ($15 minus the $6 from buying the magazine)

Still, cheaper than MSRP

i think most people who are reward members got that Gamer issue for free with the $15 coupon, considering that fact, a $39.99 price is kinda eh

IMO, this game is worth about $20. As a non-Metroid fan.

I really want to play it, but not $50 worth.

Sweet! Now only $25 above what it's worth! It's progress...

Agreed -- not a big Metroid fan, either -- have Prime 1 and 2 on GCN and never even played them (oy, the backlog). Other M sounds good though but I'll wait til it's $20 or less (and of course, I'll need to buy the Wii, too). Waiting on a $100 price tag on the Wii. As much as I love Nintendo (bought every console prior to Wii at launch), there just weren't too many games I wanted to play on it. Now, with 3 Mario games, a Zelda on the way, Punch Out!!, and Other M -- well, it's pretty much a wait until reasonable price over the holidays stage.

Game was worth full price to me, easily. People whine about the story... which isn't all that bad... it's just got some lackluster dialogue. But this game was a true sequel to Super Metroid. Thank god they got away from FPS. I like the Metroid Prime Trilogy... but damn if there aren't too many FPS's these days.

I got this game for $20 plus taxes a week ago or two at nebraska funiture mart

I'm a die-hard Metroid fan, but will wait until this game is $25 or $30. I just have too many games in the backlog.

+1

The game (and gameplay) is great and easily worth $40. The story, not so much.

Other M would have gotten better reviews If Ninty had done what they normally do and thrown in a paper-thin story instead of all the cutscenes that are in the game.

On the plus side, if you like the story you'll love the way they handled the Theater mode in the game.
