Just send an email to DearAlf@oddworld.com. They're pretty good at replying in a day or so.

Thanks NDW! Sorry Xavier, I wont do it again.

The Gungrave 01-27-2005 08:47 AM

Pending the details of the PAL pre-order I'll be more than happy to place multiple pre-orders to get people the DVD if it's unavailable in their area. Living in London I have at least 20 game stores in easy reach. Don't go the extortionate Ebay route, it ain't worth it

paramiteabe 01-27-2005 09:05 AM

When I picked up the game yesturday I also had the bonus DVD with me aswell. But I could watch it on my own regular DVD player. Is it only allowed to be played on the X-Box?


If so I might have to get the DVD connection to my X-Box. How much is the DVD connection part to X-Box? I am talking American dollors.

Esus 01-27-2005 10:38 AM

All you need is the remote control for an Xbox to be able to play DVD's.
If the DVD in question has no menus/other use of navigation (i.e. the film just plays), then you don't even need the remote.

erwinraaben55 01-27-2005 10:51 AM

That should be strange if you can only play it on xbox. It is a DVD, not game.

Nope. I was able to play it on my regular DVD player.

PA, I think there is a problem with your DVD, it should be readable on any american dvd reader

Esus 02-02-2005 11:40 AM

Would this play on a multi-region DVD player?
I don't know how this works, seeing as it has the Xbox strip along the top, making it look like a NTSC game rather than a Region 1 DVD... I don't want to buy it from Ebay if I can't play it.

atusiya@ 02-02-2005 03:45 PM

Use AnyDVD!!

Use ANYDVD !
If your PC has a DVD drive, may be you can see the bonus DVD (movie).

From the FAQ @ oddworld.com:

:

Q: Is the "Movies of Oddworld" DVD available as a preorder item in Europe? If so, what stores will have it?
A: We are currently not in production on those titles at this time. While EA originally intended the Movies of Oddworld DVD to be a pre-order item in the U.K., France and Germany, they have decided to use the DVD's in other various promotions. For more information, please contact your country's eagames.com website.
Bad news for us europeans... EA sucks.

:( That's not great news, ohwell. I wasn't planning on getting the DVD anyway.

Esus 02-11-2005 09:55 AM

Really? That was one of the things I was most looking forward to.

I hope i helped every forumer who is still looking for an DVD


Edit 500 post:p - is this so important??

Oddish 02-11-2005 10:07 AM

I thought it would be a difficult risk to get the DVD, becuase of the pay. I would love too have the DVD.

Software Bug 02-11-2005 10:10 AM

if you pay with paypal it is secured.
i always pay with paypal and most sellers acept it - remember - MOST

I preordered from EA back on 24.December and got the game, but not the DVD. I had to contact EA and they "forgot" and sent it after I brought up the issue (should be getting it today or tomorrow). I'm glad they resolved the issue to my satisfaction, but I probably won't preorder from EA ever again.

smerles 02-11-2005 12:58 PM

With a normal DVD-Player / TV combo? Or do I need a 60Hz TV?

Software Bug 02-12-2005 11:19 AM

i have just an old f*cking tv and just the xbox and working fine for me:p

Xavier 02-12-2005 01:35 PM

The European version should be announced very soon...
at least some signs over at EA makes me think that

Esus 02-12-2005 01:56 PM

Did you miss the last couple of pages? Read oddworld.coms FAQ page...

Terrible news.. *sigh*

Xavier 02-12-2005 01:59 PM

sorry about that
thank you Esus, this is absolutly horrible news to me

AWWW 02-13-2005 12:55 AM

Bad news for all Pal users.
So not only do we get the game late, we are are not getting the DVD through pre-order.

Any here can help me use Australia EA, I can't seem to find anything about Oddworld here.

Sidenote, EA also stuffed the Square Pal stuff back in 1998, so many good Square RPG that never made it here...

THANKS ALOT Electronic Arts

Nate 02-13-2005 07:05 PM

Yeah, EA Oz are crap. No mention on their website at all. I think I'm going to call them up and harrass them. I found the phone number in the White Pages last night.

What do you think this means?

Leto 02-13-2005 08:26 PM

:

My guess...

EA: Sorry to all you PAL peeps, so what we are gonna do to make ammends, is release a special edition 3 weeks after initial release with a coffee stain on the cover, which includes the dvd! Coffee stain costs $30 extra, dvd only with purchase of Coffee stain.

Alcar 02-13-2005 10:05 PM

I managed to get the DVD for a pretty good price on eBay just now. All I have to do is send off the money and I'll be set, not to mention I'll be able to watch if before I play Stranger's Wrath! :D

Alcar...

Wil 02-14-2005 02:50 AM

What? What the hell are EA playing at? They seem to be trying their utmost to alienate and segregate the fans! Sod overpaid Americans complaining about working hours, EA have demonstrated enough to me already that they don't care about the actual games, only the revenue.

Thankyou Atusiya! They sure look great, I can't wait to get my hands on the actual Bonus DVD :)

Hey, for those of you that do have the DVD, does FudTV play extremely quiet for you?

-oddguy

buckminster 02-15-2005 01:29 PM

(Finally got my DVD today). Yeah, FudTV seems to be quieter than the rest of the clips. I am so glad I finally got to see the Shrink (having only played the PC version of AO). That was cool.
