Pre-order Metroid Prime Trilogy via Gamestop, get shirt photo

If you love Metroid Prime and have a thing for minimalist T-shirt designs, then you might want to consider pre-ordering the Metroid Prime Trilogy from GameStop. Doing so will result in you getting your clammy hands on the above T-shirt, which is simple in design, but is sure to tug a few Nintendo fanboy heartstrings.

This is tempting of course, but if you pre-order Metroid Prime Trilogy through me, you'll get an exclusive Samus Aran collector's figurine that I have fashioned out of some hair and wet cat food. You'll have to think carefully about where you do your shopping.

Why does Gamestop get all these deals? I wish Play N Trade would get some of these pre-order deals, because they're a much better store.

Wow I'm surprised, since Nintendo hasn't been generous with the preorder bonuses as of late. I kind of want this now.

Wait. Is the white-trimmed box the OUTER cover? If that was the clamshell and the gorgeous, blue-saturated box was the cover, I'd be all over this purchase for the aesthetic bonus.

OK with no shame whatsoever, I'm totally getting this.

In this case, wouldn't horizontal mean the picture is wider than it is long?

Not as awesomely weird as the Samus bowling shirt I got for pre-ordering Metroid Prime 2, but still awesome.

Jim doesn't know the difference between horizontal and vertical, confirmed.

So I get a shirt and 2 Metroid Prime games I have yet to play for 50 bucks Hmmm decisions, decisions.

Maybe I should actually play my copy of Prime before this gets released and see if I enjoy it enough to get the whole series.

JLanphear: Uhh... Free shirt for a lot of people. I seriously hope that a shirt isn't the kind of thing that affects your videogame purchases

Minimalist is a good thing when it comes to video game shirts. I was planning on pre-ordering this anyways, so...

Eh, too straightforward for me to care about this.

Yeah, an extra large shirt.
Dammit.
I always end up giving my free XL shirts away.

Love of Metroid is having a deathmatch with hatred of gamestop in my brain right now.

I only came to nitpick about the horizontal and vertical thing, but the internet already did that for me.

Wow, Nintendo's really going all out for this one. They just keep making the package better, and better! Where as if this was Microsoft, or Sony you'd be paying a extra $10, for a limited edition version of the game.

Just what we need to cater to the ladies, a videogames shirt

I'm going to wait to see what other pre-order deals pop up. The Ghostbusters shirt I got for pre-ordering that game from Gamestop is pretty crappy. One wash and it's already losing the image.

Compared to the Persona 4 shirt I got with that crazy Amazon pack, which has been through many washes.

Yes, I know...don't expect much from a give-away shirt. But I've received Gamestop pre-order shirts in the past that were fine.

I would like it but I don't think my local EB games gets most of these bonuses. :(
