Pictures
Ever since OWF went down a few months ago, my images of the Abe model (that featured in the Oddworld Inhabitants: The First Ten Years art book, making it even more special now :p) and Munch head were lost. Here they are, in there 255kb glory! (Bad quality webcam, sorry)

Price : AU $ 20.00 - Not my bid EDIT : AU $ 25.00 - my bid EDIT : AU $ 40.50 - Not my bid - AUTOBID EDIT : AU $ 41.00 - my bid EDIT : AU $ 51.00 - Not my bid - AUTOBID EDIT : AU $ 52.00 - my bid EDIT : AU $ 53.00 - Not my bid - AUTOBID EDIT : AU $ 60.00 - My bid EDIT : AU $ 60.50 - Not my bid - AUTOBID EDIT : AU $ 61.00 - My bid |
I don't see how you're going to get that movie. The seller only accepts UK or US cash sent to him(money order in Australia), since he doesn't use paypal.

Sorry for being ignorant here, and I don't mean to derail the topic, but won't that be appearing on the Bonus DVD that comes when you preorder OSW? Or does that just have the FMV sequences from the previous three games?

Oh awesome, it gets better for me: I read it as the person only accepted Australian dollars in cash it the buyer is from the U.K. or U.S. - now I can bid and pay. Trouble is, it's up to £25 already. I don't know if I'm willing to spend that much.
Tim, the idea of eBay is that you only bid once. :p |
:
thats the way i work on ebay:p the seller says if i get it for a few more cash he will put in a dvd so i can watch it:) EDIT : im going to school now (already too late) and euh hope nobody overbids me , maby i can use the computer on school if i ask to the teacher:p EDIT 2 : Im on school now, seeing i am overbid by AU $ 80!! or € 46.33 thats to much for me... |
Sorry Tim.
Actually, I didn't overbid you, I overbid the person that overbid you. I actually sniped it, though I really didn't mean to. I was going to bid last night, but forgot. I remembered this morning, and I was already late for school, so I booted the computer quickly and found there were just 8 minutes left to bid, and it was just too tempting. There is now a limited edition The Art of Oddworld Inhabitants book up for offer on eBay, and one very interesting item:- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...145101270&rd=1 Isn't it immense?! Just one piece of advice: DO NOT BID for this item if you want a genuine piece of Oddworld art. This Kenneth Lilly is lying; all Oddworld art is done by OWI and the job is never licensed to any other company. I'm going to contact eBay telling them this. I'm not saying that the seller is lying about being Kenneth Lilly who worked for ReSaurus and drew this image as a concept for an Oddworld figure, but it's not official. It's fanart. |
conqrats Max:p
now the seller is mailing me he can copy the box and video on DVD NO WAY then its not official:p |
Thanks Tim. :) It won't be official, but you would get to see the movie. :p The way oddguy described the DVD seemed to me as if the FUD scene was a separate extra, and the movie as a whole didn't exist.
Do you think it's worth me asking the seller if he'd make a DVD for me, too, so I could see it? Hmmm, I wonder if he'd be interested in supplying everyone with a copy for a price. Except OWF does not support piracy, despite our left-wing views. Don't do pirates, kids! |
he can make a dvd but i think he will ask too much ,
for the copy for me he asked 20 pounds!!! |
Crikey, I'm not going to believe that's worth it. £32ish is alright for official merch. A birdie for a copy is well expensive. Surely rewrittable DVDs don't cost anything like that.
I'll find some way of watching it. |
You don't have a VHS player, Max?
Well, I am glad someone from the forums won the video, since it totally wasn't going to be me. I just paid the entire cost of Stranger early for my pre-order...leaving me broke. -oddguy |
VHS in Europe and America aren't exactly the same format, thus he can't read it on his vhs player
|
but is DVD the same format?? so i can watch it like he said,
Bechause games are on DVDs and there is PAL and NTSC |
If the seller was aware that you live in a PAL region where you wouldn't have easy access to an NTSC VHS player, then when he offered you the DVD saying you could watch it, he probably knew you could watch it, i.e. he could be burning region-free DVDs. Why not ask him?
There's a leaked version of Oddworld Stranger's Wrath on eBay.co.uk. How sickening is that? Profiting from an illegal version of the game. |
Mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my Odd! Look what they're selling!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...146886065&rd=1 |
whats special about this you can buy around 500 more of these on ballistic:p
|
Seen it, and posted about it. I'll merge this with the BUY thread.
What is worse is that they were selling a pirated Stranger's Wrath on ebay.co.uk, but I think I've already posted about that, too. |
It's not that it's special, well the book is, but so cheap, such a good book, limited edition, and it's on Ebay already.

Oh my God!
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...162528536&rd=1 eBay actually allowed the auction to complete! Well, they've just broken the law. |
it isnt on it anymore.
what was it?? |
sale got reported, Ebay blocked it
|
It was the pirated Stranger's Wrath we were talking about. Apparently eBay have deleted, but after the auction ended - so there's really nothing to stop the seller and buyer from organising a deal themselves.
|
I want a copy somehow! But I don't want to break a law or something, hmm...I wonder if it would be legal if you would give the seller a gift and then he supplies you with a free copy (free so it is legal) then that could be done. Anyone who could supply me with some sort of copy I would be much thankful, I would need to view it for the Mag, so anyone please. I would ask the seller himself but I don't speak Dutch so I am at loss. So anyone tthat can help me please help. Hey how did the seller get his hands on that thing anyway?
|
Just wait the wait, like the rest of us... Or, buy an american copy. Don't buy a pirated game... If you want to be illegal, (note: I do not support this at all) just mod your xbox and play ntsc games.
Why did I just say that? |
Ever so slightly off topic but did all you European Oddheads know that EGM mag (the US one thats gets distributed around Europe) had the full 30 min demo presented by Lorne on the covermount DVD? Worth a look to allay those Stranger hunger pangs

Stranger plastic-poster is being selled... Hmm... Is it official? |
I don't know, looks like official.
|
i think it is official , to bad it is only shipped in America
|
Shipping is killer though my God $10, well if you want it I guess then you can live with it, I am half up if I should go for it
|
The buy list
I have no idea where this thread went so I will start it over. I just won the SW promotional poster off of ebay. It cost me 81 dollars! Whoever was bidding against me is pure evil.
