Oh, and Odd Trusting I think I can remind you of your username: it was Alpha wasn't it? You certainly seem to have a similar IQ and control over grammar and spelling.


sorry but was this realy necessary? :fuzblink:

Perhaps I could have put it more politely but I feel confident that they are in fact one and the same person.

Odd Trusting 11-22-2004 01:05 PM

No no that wasn't it was another natural Oddworld related name. Oh and the spelling, I mean I don't have school here I had to learn on my own. I can take the comdy about it as long as it isn't meant to be mean.

This DVD sounds intriguing, but I'm slightly worried by Alf and AA's silence over the possibility of this offer being extended to those outside of the US borders.

So, Do we know if it is region free of is it america's region no.(whatever that is)

Odd Trusting's other account wasn't Alpha. I know the proper account name ;) As for my mishap. Whoops! I must have been reading the art book release thread at the same time.

Yet, I still haven't been given an answer as to whether the bonus disk will make it to other countries. It is extremely unfair. I hope that this isn't a case of America is first priority. Because that goes against all Oddworldian ethics.

I think that it is just a mistake. Because the name is good, with wrath I mean, so it isn't old.

It could be that the store simply updated the name for the Xbox version, which may have been linked to the PlayStation 2 version. Seems simple, one data entry for two games, the only things differing are console and pricing. They've just forgotten to remove the redundant PS2 record.

It's common for online stores to create pre-order pages long before a release date for a product is announced. Remember IGN had pre-orders of "Oddworld 4" around the start of the year with an incorrect release date? I think some stores do it to try and get sales quickly. Although I don't know what they do if the game isn't released [say it is cancelled] or it is delayed. Maybe they just haven't charged the credit card yet.

I'm still undecided as to whether to pre-order. I still haven't asked my friend if she has an EB in her area [she doesn't live in a big area]. A better option may try to grab the DVD off eBay, as I'm sure many people will end up with it who might just watch it once and then not have an interest for it anymore.

I remember that, and we had members who had actually pre-ordered it too. Actually, do those pre-orders still exist, or are valid? Anyway, the main problem with that pre-order site, is that it shows the new title of the game for the PlayStation 2 - when the new title was announced after the Xbox exclusivity was re-instated.

It looks like I'll have to go with eBay as well. I don't want to have to buy the game in the NTSC version only to have to get the PAL game as well.

I wish you could just buy the DVD without the game, it's not that I dunt want the game, it's just, my X box won't play American disks, but I have a DVD player that will play American DVDS

Xavier 11-25-2004 09:24 AM

^ like Fuzzle Guy
but I dougt they will sell the dvd alone... :s

Oddish 11-25-2004 10:01 AM

I think you should albe to get the DVD alone, I realy think so. Mabey something like a 2nd hand shop, you just for the DVD.
