:

if everybody we know that ordered the book has it can we tell it then??

If it's done in the Spoiler Forum, then yes, absolutely. Be careful, though, no part of the book can be replicated electronically, that includes the text.

I'm so excited about seeing this book! I just have one more day to wait!!!

Nath 12-23-2004 09:43 AM

I can't get my book now, because I left it too long to give them my card details. Well I gave them my card details but they don't take switch cards. And now i've lost my book. I have no idea how i'm gonna get that book now.

Alcar 12-23-2004 04:30 PM

You should send them an email at: payment@ballisticpublishing.com Just explain the problem, and they'll help you.

I've got to wait until after Christmas to buy mine. It's the only time I'll have enough money to buy one. I've just got to hope that they don't sell all the limited edition copies before I order one.

Stuv 12-23-2004 10:28 PM

Yay i got my book. I would have gotten it earlier but my parents held it till my bday. I haven't gotten very far in it but it is awsome. Congrats to everyone else who has gotten theres as well!

sligster 12-23-2004 11:09 PM

yay! finally convinced my parents to buy me one!

odd chick 12-24-2004 10:26 AM

It's hard to tell if I will get mine by Christmas or not. When I ordered it, I got an e-mail that said it would arrive in 1-5 weeks. That was about 2 or 3 weeks ago, so it could arrive at any time. I prefer Christmas, though! :)

Oddish 12-24-2004 10:29 AM

Same here Oddchick. I still not got mine, but I hoped I'lld get it for christmas, but there is a slight chance.

Esus 12-24-2004 11:13 AM

I'll be opening mine tomorrow morning :)

VaniLLaKiLLah 12-24-2004 04:04 PM

I got mine about 3 hrs ago!

yeah.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

.:VaniLLaKiLLah:.

Oddish 12-25-2004 01:03 PM

I thought that my book had'nt arrived, and I thought to myself "Well I aint gettin that book for christmas time"
But that was until I saw a present under the tree, I didn't what it was, untill I opened it. And it was the Oddworld Art book! :fuzgrin:

Yes, I'm so happy!:D The book has great art and concept! So many great images and never seen before, and the cool things that were missed out.:fuzsmile:

erwinraaben55 12-26-2004 01:34 AM

I still haven't got is :angry:

And TIM did got it 3 days ago, and he also lives in Holland :angry again:
But I think that is the price for living nice and quiet far away from the big cities :)

Software Bug 12-26-2004 11:16 AM

erwinraaben55,
Maby it was send on an other airplane?!
can you imagen they wont put all books sold in the same plane..
or maby like you say it is late bechause you live nice and quiet far away from the big cities:p
Hope it will be by you in 1 week.
maby you can check ballistic publising how many weeks/days it maximum takes.

Oddish 12-26-2004 11:31 AM

It's takes about 1-5 weeks to ship, when you've gotten the email.

erwinraaben55 12-26-2004 01:08 PM

I think I was the first to mention I got the email from the countries other than Australia, that it was paid, and a day later I was again the first to post here that I got the email that it was send. But I am the last to get the book :p. Well, the first shall be the last, I think it is this saying again that is true :p

odd chick 12-26-2004 08:28 PM

I didn't think I was going to get mine for Christmas, but low and behold I saw it under the tree! :) I was so excited and overjoyed when I saw it under that tree and I just have to say that it is just amazing! The images I've seen so far, especially the landscapes, are beautiful and awesome!! I'm only about half way through it, but I intend on finishing it very soon! :)

Stranger 12-26-2004 08:57 PM

Hey guys where can I get this book? I love Game Books :) I collect Strategy Guides for my favorite game, and I want to get the Oddworld thing to. How much it costs? and where i can buy it? I live in American New York.

erwinraaben55 12-27-2004 02:24 AM

you can order them here (http://www.ballisticpublishing.com/books/oddworld/). You can choose between soft cover, hard cover, and the limited edition. I only took the limited one, but there are fans here that took them all :D.

hmm, I now see they have changed the site, go check it out, maybe something interresting to see :). Or did you already know it, because the interview from Xavier and Max is also on balistics.

Omfg limited edition is 200 $ =( wow why so expensive? lol

erwinraaben55 12-27-2004 12:49 PM

It is Australian dollars, so it can be different for the place you come from.

Teal 12-27-2004 01:40 PM

Nath - did you get your payment sorted out, in the end? I used my Switch card and it went through fine. (although they didn't list Switch as an available card, they DID list Visa, which my Switch card is also.)

Niiice book. Yay for concept art!

Alcar 12-27-2004 07:42 PM

It costs so much, as it is a Limited Edition. Only a thousand of them will ever be made, so the expected result is that they become rare, and thus valuable. Apart from that, they are made from high quality leather and are gold plated.

The book is awesome! The only fault I have found is the fact that I thought that the number of the book would be on the side or something, but thats not a big deal. I love the book though!!!

erwinraaben55 12-30-2004 01:14 AM

Argh, still haven't got it :(. I know it is because the post doesn't work that hard at christmas time etc, but I HAVEN'T GOT IT, come on guy's, GIMME, work a little bit harder, just for me :)

True, the number is only on the certificate, and not anywhere on the book itself. But I don't mind that.

Wil 01-01-2005 06:13 AM

I'm still hanging in here. There's a lot of Oddworld stuff I've not been receiving.

Alector 01-05-2005 05:23 PM

You're all so lucky :crying:

I'm just a poor student who has to pend lots of money for hire, train, uni and food. I envy you so much *sobs*

*wipes tears off, stands up and raises finger*

I will buy the limited edition and if I don't even have enough money to eat! Well... I should hurry up with that, huh? *sweats*

Shall I.....? *trembles*
..Could someone tell me what is better?
Food or Limited Edition?
Oh boy..that's a hard decision.
