Buy Metroid Prime Trilogy in the UK, get Metroid free

If you're in the UK and your Metroid Prime Trilogy purchase will be the second time you've bought one of the Prime games, Nintendo has an enticing offer for you. Be one of the first 5,000 to purchase the Wii collection and register it on Club Nintendo, and, provided you've registered Metroid Prime 1, 2, or 3 in the past, you'll get a free Virtual Console download of the NES Metroid game.

Sure, if you're a big enough Metroid fan to be buying Trilogy despite already owning the game, it's likely you already have Metroid, either on the NES, the Virtual Console, or as a connection bonus on the GameCube Metroid Prime disc. But it's still wonderful precedent to have Nintendo giving away a Virtual Console game to promote a new release.

But why limit it only to the suckers buying one of the games twice? And why only 5,000? A Virtual Console download costs Nintendo nothing.

meh.

Metroid Prime has the original Metroid as an unlockable. Did they remove it ?

don't get me wrong i love the franchise, and I enjoy the first one but doesn't seem that cool. Anyway Metroid Zero Mission is such an amazing remake I don't feel that I ever want to play the original again.
