I have no interest, the money would be better spent on a Power Mac G5.

Wow. If I hadn't just blown the tax refund on other tech gear, maybe. But still...wow.

I'd buy it for my brother if I could afford such an extravagant purchase at this time.

I'd only buy it if it didn't suck. If that made any sense at all.

How often do you get to have Miyamoto's sig? I'd pay $300 for that in a heartbeat.

Hahahahaha. A slave to a corporation. You're selling an EMPTY BOX FOR $200. I played Zelda. My KIDS are playing it now. My nephew plays it. That's three generations of Zelda players. Miyamoto is respected, an empty WoW cardboard box isn't. You're attempting to equate the value of an empty box to the signature of the person who created Zelda and Mario. I'm the one out of my mind? I guess I should have payed $99 for that Reggie Jackson autograph last year.

I didn't know who it was, but props if he created Mario and Donkey Kong.

I have to confess that I've never played a game of Zelda at anytime on any platform. Just never interested me.

A couple of question: How limited is this limited edition? Is it an actual signature or part of the GB? What's the price of the GB and software if you were going to buy a non-signed version?

This is a computer-generated message and needs no signature.

My first Zeloda game was Wind Waker. I loved it, although at times i was lost since i never played in that 'world' before and the jargon and terminology was a little difficult to follow and attach any sort of logic to.
But having finished the game....it's just....a 'beautiful' game. visually, audibly, and very high production values. try it out if you have the time.

Cheers

Hawkeye,
Get Ocarina of Time. You can usually find it on one of the two Gamecube Zelda promotional game discs that I see all the time, or you could get a used N64 and the game for paractically the same price as the GC promo disc. IMHO, a far superior game than Wind Waker. My daughter's playing it now and I remember why I loved that game so much.

I would, but only if Miyamoto would sign it personally to me and I had chance to meet him.

Nope, I have friends .

One came with TWW's preorder, and two I got as extras since I was friends with the manager at Gamestop (they were leftover after sitting around after the preorders were over).

There was a second promo disc which had OoT but different Zelda games on it than the preorder disc. That one I have two of, one I got (I think) with the Gamecube I bought for the kids, and the second copy I found in a store for $30 used when everwhere else was selling it for $100 new without the GC.
