zelda preorder (1 Viewer)

[Morgan Jolley]

I was under the impression that the Bonus Disc would be in stores starting February 16 so that people who preorder the game after that date would get the disc when they preorder.

I played this today at an in-store demo and it sucked. Why? Because the damn controller was broken. It looked beautiful, but I couldn't enjoy it. Now I'm pissed.

Neil,
I'm pretty sure the tradeup is happening for the GBA SP. When I preordered my GBA SP, the guy mentioned it to me. Even though I preordered and paid in full, I can still trade in my GBA when I pick up my SP, and they'll credit my card.

Oh, this was at a local GameStop.

I'm hoping it comes in a case, as opposed to just a sleeve of some sort.

I saw the art on one of the Zelda fan pages, and it looked to be in a case.

On the EBGames.com website it's listing a ship date of 2/6 for the bonus disc.

Where do you see this at on the EB website. Everything I've seen on there says it will be the 16th of Feb.

Where do you see this at on the EB website.

When I checked yesterday (or the day before) it said the 6th. I did a doubletake, and checked again, an dthen at the Gamestop.com site. They still had the 16th listed.

When I checked this afternoon after work, it was back to the 16th again, with rephrased text.

 

[Scott_E]

Maybe it means that it ships out on the 6th, and arrives no later than the 16th? I dunno. I wish they wouldn't change around things like that. Plays with my emotions.

 

[Chris Flynn]

Well, from the phrasing at the EBGames.com website:

Pre-order bonus delivery by Feb. 16 2003

I'm going to say that we should recieve it on or by the 16th now.

 

[Barry Woodward]

I called my local EB and according to them the bonus disk should be at the store by the end of this week.

 

[Graeme Clark]

They may only be saying that cause the website said the 6th yesterday.

 

[Dean Cooper]

hmmmm, well I just got off the phone with my local EB. Looks like I'll be waiting until March for my disc because they don't want people cancelling their preorders after they get the bonus disc. BOOOOOOO!!!

 

[Michael Fennessy]

My Babages told me that they would call me but I think I will stop by today and see if there is any additional information

 

[GaryP]

Guys,
According to EBGames.com my order shipped out today, got a tracking number showing it shipped UPS three day select.

[Rob Lutter]

My EB said that as long as you paid IN FULL... I would be able to pick up the disc as soon as it was available.

 

[Chris Flynn]

Argh! My friend pre-ordered Zelda for me a few weeks ago, so I called him and asked him if he got confirmation of the bonus disc shipping, and he just remembered that he got an e-mail stating his credit card had expired!
So he's got to call them and get it fixed! And I KNOW he's gonna forget, and I'm gonna miss out on my bonus disc!

 

[Dave Bennett]

Hmm. Placed my order with Gamestop.com on 1/20/03 and my early bonus disc is listed as backordered. As long as I get it reasonably soon I'm fine but I don't want to have shelled out an extra 5 bucks for early shipping only to have the game arrive a day before the Wind Waker does. Anyone else order from gamestop? Any ideas?

 

[Dean DeMass]

My Ocarina of Time disc shipped yesterday from EB Games, and according to UPS tracking, it left Indy today. Looks like I'll have it on Monday.

[Scott_E]

I just got confirmation EB that my pre-order disc shipped as well. Its says specifically in the email that its delivery BY the 16th. I'm happy.

 

[Graeme Clark]

Cool, I hope the stores get them soon then too.

 

[DimitriM]

Yep, mine is scheduled to be delivered on 02/12. Only 5 more days to wait.

 

[Michael Fennessy]

I just broke down and ordered this from gamestop.com. I called the babbages that I pre-ordered at (no money down) and they had not even heard about a bonus disk. I hope they ship soon.
