You can't in Trilogy... Damn Bendizium Rock.

Incorrect.  You can still get the Plasma Beam before you go into the Phazon Mines.  You just need to go all the way to Phendrana's Edge to get a power bomb expansion before you hit up Geothermal Core.  The bendezium rock was there in the original PAL version; it's harder to get the power bomb expansion you need in Trilogy, but not by much.  Still entirely doable.

Edit: As an added bonus, you can also use that extra power bomb and the Plasma Beam to get to the X-ray Visor way before you're supposed to, and take out the cloaked drone that's guarding the main PB in five seconds flat with it.

Nice.

I was reading on the Metroid wiki that it's possible to escape the Orpheon with the Varia Suit by killing Parasite Queen in a certain place.

Can we test this?

http://metroid.wikia.com/wiki/Orpheon - It's under "Trivia".

Sounds like bullshit to me. It is a wiki after all.

I've never heard about it, and at one point or another I've done -all- of the major sequence breaks in Metroid Prime.

Edit: That wiki is retarded anyway if I recall.  Supported by this line: "Frigate Orpheon is the first of four space stations to be destroyed, followed by Oubliette, Ceres Space Colony, and the BSL Space Station."

Despite, you know, the fact that a frigate is not a [tornado fang]ing space station.

Now that I think about it almost every Metroid boss leaves me with my hands hurting a little afterwards. Hunters was the worst at that. It didn't help that the bosses were more or less repeated / not that interesting.

Thardus was rather easy.
theres a trick that can be exploited so that he can never hit you.

Thardus is pretty damn easy. He just takes a while.

I found Thardus more entertaining in Trilogy.... I guess mainly because I could actually -aim.-

Try as I might, I cannot give enough of a damn to go back to Prime Trilogy. I boot up Prime (currently in Phendrana Drifts--at the start) and I don't really care to continue. I've not started Prime 2, largely because I dislike that one for being dull (though the atmosphere and the slight fear you get from Dark Aether wasn't too bad. Seems to have relied on this too much since without it, the game's just not the same) and in Prime 3, I'm right before Meta-Ridley on the first world because I'm trying to get all the tokens here--again.

I'm thinking of maybe just selling it off to someone who may find more enjoyment than I'm giving it (it sits on the shelf collecting dust) and just rebuy Prime 3 since it's pretty cheap right now. Also, Uncharted 2 is taking precedence over it, but that's behind finishing up some other titles on my queue.

If you don't feel like you aren't going to play/don't want to, go ahead. Be sure you get a good price for it. XD

A question. What are your hopes for Other M?
