Nintendo's ongoing "Customer Appreciation" sale, running through September 26th, has dropped the digital price of Metroid Prime Remastered for Switch and Switch 2 to $27.99 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart, down from a physical retail price of about $42. The sale also includes the Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective hardcover book, cut from $49.99 to $28.50 at Amazon and Walmart.
The Panasonic Q combined a GameCube with a DVD and CD player in one chassis, but the two functions operated as separate systems rather than a true integration—game audio stayed on standard analog output while home theater features like Dolby Digital and DTS applied only to movie playback. Users had to manually toggle between gaming and DVD modes with a hardware switch, and the console shipped with matching Panasonic-branded controller and remote. Today, original units sell for well over $1,000 due to their rarity and collector interest.
