Scalpers list Metroid Prime Remastered physical edition for twice its recommended price
eurogamer.netMetroid Prime Remastered is finally here – and so, it seems, are the scalpers, with dozens of the game's currently sold-out physical editions popping up on internet auction sites for considerably more than the original asking price.
Whilst the issue seems to be primarily affecting our friends on the other side of the pond – the UK's version doesn't release until next month – many people are trying to cash in on the physical edition's popularity by listing the game for over twice its recommended retail price (thanks, Kotaku).
Don't forget that although physical copies of Super Mario 3D All-Stars were sold in very limited numbers intentionally – which also artificially pushed up the price – Nintendo has not made a similar claim about Metroid Prime Remastered, so it's possible more units will be available at a later date. That's not stopping some giving it a go, though.
If you're in the UK and have been dithering about committing to a pre-order, though, I'd recommend you order yours sooner rather than later, just in case it kicks off similar demand over here (at the time of writing, the game is still available for pre-order at GAME for around £40).
It's physical release day for Metroid Prime Remastered!
