I dont ever remember Super Metroid being that cheap. I can remember 15 years ago when GameStop still carried SNES games, it was $25 for a used copy. Now a sealed LTTP I remeber buying for like $9.99
Anyways back on topic. I understand the argument that repros hurt the market for legit games, but what I dont get is the shelf queen argument. I own exact 1 repro, its undercover cops for SFC. I bought for like $20 and when I'm not playing it, I throw it in a cardboard box with the rest of my other SFC games. I'm glad I own it and I'm glad i didnt spend $250 for a legit cart.
I think its just the act of putting the game cart in the console and playing the game thats enjoyable; sort of like masturbation, Its not sex but its better than nothing.
