[quote name='Wario64'][quote name='Gameboy415']Dammit. Does everyone not understand that you have to PAY (at least when I was in it) to be part of the "Playstation Underground"? So those "free" demo discs sony sent out weren't so free after all, eh?[/quote]
Wrong, Playstation Underground is free. Not only does Sony give out free demos, they also give out $5 off coupons for certain titles, and even allow members to partcipate in beta testing.
And the point of a demo disc is to get people who are on the fence to get them to buy the game when it comes out in November. Rewarding loyal Nintendo fans the demo disc does not accomplish this objective...demo discs should be targeted to people who haven't played Metroid Prime before, or for people who do not have interest in the game. I'm pretty sure a good number of people who have bought Metroid Prime will buy the sequel, demo or not. The demo should be sold in stores for a cheap price (or given free for pre-ordering) to reach a larger target, rather than limiting the discs to loyal Nintendo fans and new Gamecube owners. Poor execution on NoA's part. And they need to use My Nintendo for REAL rewards, like the stuff they're giving out to customers in Japan. Not demo discs.[/quote]
damn wario64 beat me to it. If it was an artbook for MP2 or soundtrack or even a cool poster, then that would make more sense. They have a deal for the first 800 canadians who register custom robo will get some nice free artwork. that should get some people who are on the fence for getting custom robo to go out and get the game. but this promo is weak sauce, liks someone else said, maybe if it had an old metroid game, then that would be pretty cool. But then again, i havent even tried the metroid prime promo yet, so maybe it will actually be a good promo.
ing game. Its that simple. Some of you can't seem to comprehend that, yes, it DOES cost money to get the codes, but you get a VIDEO GAME with each one. Most of which are damn good IMO.
