I wish I could tell you, but to my understanding the one you have pictured is the second printing that Gamestop received, and released as used only once the price of Metroid Prime Trilogy had become inflated enough (think it was worth around $120 at the time). Gamestop loves doing this on sought after games in order to get around that pesky MSRP BS. But yeah, it is an offical re-release of the game as far I know. The metal case one is the original print run copy.
