Not what I've heard, but...

Where did you hear that?

I had a bigger version somewhere... But meanwhile check this out.

Well mine on 1st March is just a bit out of date then.

I guess I'll be sent Zelda TWW from a second(third?) batch then.

Maybe I'll be getting it sooner than I thought!

I just checked my Account History at DVDBO and the Zelda order isn't there any more!

So I guess it's on it's way!

Out of curiosity:
Amazon France is taking orders for the collectors edition (with the 2 disks).
Amazon UK is not. It's possible that in the UK they're already presold the entire allotment.

Erm PVB... I think you'd better check again... goto DVDBO and goto "Account History". Does it have anything under "shipped orders"? Because I know a couple of people who had their orders removed from their system for some unknown reason!

You should have at least an invoice number for your Zelda order regardless of whether it's been sent or not. If it's gone, better get on the blower to DVDBO and find out what's up! If it has gone... well remember I will also be getting a spare Z:WW too... maybe you can then take the double pack instead

Under account history there's no selection menu/link for shipped orders, so I can't click on that.

I haven't had an answer to my e-mail I sent them the other day either.

This is beginning to sound like Goblin Direct all over again.

It's not a menu/link, just a header on the page. Either way, you should have an invoice entry listed in "Account History" regardless of the status of the order. Check under "Expired Orders" link to make sure too. If there is NOTHING in either of them, then it's gone...

And then it would be time to

At least they don't take any money until they ship the game... so you haven't lost anything if this is the case...

As I said, all isn't lost either cos I'll have spares of both discs very shortly which you can have...

Pre-ordered mine from Amazon Germany with the bonus disk. So far my cube games bought in Germany have detected the English setting of the cube and run with english text and speech so hopefully will be the same for Zelda.

Amazon UK have shipped stuff out here in the past so anyone looking for the bonus disk should be able to order from Germany no problem.

Got an e-mail today from DVDBO: "Your credit card has been refused"

Fuck knows why, cos it's only got Â£50 on it, and it doesn't expire until 2004!

I may as well try Amazon.de I suppose.

Edit:

Fuck it, I won't bother ordering it again, I'll save me money instead.

Just got my email from dvdboxoffice here it is.....

Hello

I donot think your order will include a bonus disc they were very limited.
You still get the game though and its supposed to be great.

well cheers then, ive sent a message back saying it was advertised on the site. All preorders get bonus disk.

Do i have any customer rights with advertisng like this and then not being sent the complete package?

When I ordered mine the blurb said I'd be eligible to get the disc, so they could say that doesn't actually state that the disc will be supplied, only that you'd be added to the list of people who might get one.

Anyway, now I've calmed down a bit and collected all my toys back into my pram

I may take up Mayhem's offer of ZTWW + bonus.

@Mayhem: PM me and we'll try to sort something out.

So does Zelda work ok with the Freeloader?

The text ORIGINALLY on the site said that all pre-orders would get the bonus disc. After several contacts from myself and a load of people I know (and probably a lot I don't) asking whether this was 100% sure to get it, I think DVDBO realised too many people were pre-ordering the game and changed the text around mid January to what PVB stated.

As stated earlier, anyone ordering more than 1 copy of Zelda has also found themselves with only half the same number of bonus discs.

PM sent to you PVB... both copies of Zelda are apparently on their way to me right now...

Oh and yes, Zelda apparently does work fine with Freeloader (either version)...

When i went to get mine, they handed me just Wind Waker and i asked if that was all. The sales person immediately said, "oh, you didn't get the other one before" to which i answered "no, you told me i couldn't get anything till Wednesday". Then she grabbed the 2nd one and gave to me.
It is possible it was an accident but i got the feeling they didn't have enough of the 2nd disk and were trying to slide one without it.
(I had ordered mine back in December)

It seems like they've only sent me the Zelda, with no bonus disk. I ordered at the beginning of Jan, so as you can tell I'm pissed

The second I get back to the UK they'll have a nice nasty email waiting for them %)
