I preordered Metroid: Other M last night and picked it up today. Gamestop's assistant manager was still unboxing it, so I'm pretty confident I got the first copy in my town. At any rate, there was also a preorder bonus (I am so glad that I reserved it last night!) - an art folio. She (assistant manager) didn't know what it was, so I'm going assume that means this wasn't announced or anything?

It's a little black folio that says METROID : OTHER M ART FOLIO on the front, and has this quirky little icon on the back. Is that a known icon? Am I just rusty with Metroid?

Inside, there are 16 cards with artwork from the game and also screenshots on them, and on the back of each card is a caption and a paragraph from Samus Aran herself. After I've played the game a bit, pictures of each card will appear in our Metroid: Other M photo album, along with the caption of each card.

They are a cool addition to this already story driven title. If you guys snagged one, what do you think of them? If you didn't, would you have been more inclined to preorder the game, had you known about this incentive?

Hit the jump for a few photos.
