why can't you order it for europe??? I think you can it only makes it really expensive, but that doesn't get in the way for a real fan :P. Shipping costs, and a game in NTSC, which you can't play on PAL. But you have the DVD with region code, I think, so you also need something to play that thing.

But for the real fan, nothing gets in the way. :p

Xavier 11-16-2004 09:35 AM

well I hope OWI won't let their European fans down , so I'm waiting untill there is an announcement like that for PAL...
there has to be one...

oddguy 11-16-2004 09:47 AM

Is the DVD made by OWI? Or is it something EBGames threw together?

-oddguy

Fuzzle Guy 11-16-2004 09:55 AM

I dunno, I'd be interested in finding out though

Xavier 11-16-2004 10:10 AM

apparently it is made by OWI themselves...
how could EBGames have the hi ress versions of the videos?

Oddish 11-16-2004 10:18 AM

Wonderful find Xavier!

That's great box art, it's so Stranger like, and dark. It more darker than MO's.
DVD is avaible in US only? Oh man, I would love see what's inside OW's first ever DVD.:D

Wil 11-16-2004 11:36 AM

OWI have a massive Eurpean fan base, I'm sure something will pop up - and if it doesn't, it's down to our American friends to act as relay stations. ;)

Pre-ordering will take the fun out of being the first to get it from Game, though. *sigh*

OANST 11-16-2004 01:05 PM

pre ordered today. Thanks for the find.

paramiteabe 11-16-2004 01:09 PM

I had mine preordered a long time ago oh well I just can't wait till late January the count down begins!

Paramiteabe... :fuzblink:

Alcar 11-16-2004 03:54 PM

I hope they do release something similar here in Australia. Though I guess we'd get it if Europe got it (sharing PAL and all). Sounds good! Hope it has artwork from the previous games that we've not yet seen before.

Alcar...

Cloverfield 11-16-2004 07:48 PM

Hmmm ... I was thinking of just getting a friend to pick my copy of Stranger up and send it to me. Maybe I'll order through EB instead. That's if they'll ship to Australia. Or I could get them to ship it to her, which means I have to wait longer for it to arrive here though.

*has American Xbox remember* Yay!

I like that cover ... looks kick ass!

Abe Babe...

Xavier 11-17-2004 08:13 AM

I wonder what video will be on it...
I hope there will be "the Guardian Angel" on it :p

Dipstikk 11-17-2004 09:20 AM

So, will this game/DVD combo meal be shipped at the release date or sooner than it?

Xavier 11-17-2004 09:31 AM

it ships on 01/25/2005... it's on the page...

Oddish 11-17-2004 09:51 AM

I think OWI might show the DVD could shown on OW website. But I wounder what sort things they gunna show in the film, who knows.

Alf's Assistant 11-17-2004 03:05 PM

Actually this pre-order DVD is available a couple of weeks before the game is launched. I believe Jan. 3rd. You go to an EB and put down some $ to reserved your game and you receive the movie DVD right there!

Alf 11-17-2004 03:06 PM

I highly recommend doing whatever you can to get the presell DVD. For fans and collectors it is a must have. This is the first time all the movies have been compiled on a single source separate from the games. If you order online you might want to call and double check to make sure you get it, due to the limited time offer status. If you get it in-store (January) you should be able to get it real time : ) Contact your retailers!!!!

Just a tip from yer pal Alfie.

Thankah varrah mooch, Alfie!
I'm hinting at mom to make this my Chrissy-mas gift.

steel scrab 11-17-2004 04:22 PM

any news on a PAL release yet??

oddguy 11-17-2004 06:08 PM

I just back from my Local EBGames. Pre-ordered Stranger's Wrath and asked the guy about the DVD. He said all kinds of games do promotions for pre-orders, so this game would'nt be any different and I'd be sure to get the DVD. I hope so. =)

-oddguy

Alcar 11-17-2004 10:12 PM

Alf, and Alf's Assistant, what about the countries other than America? I haven't heard anything about even the possibility of an international release? It seems rather unfair (unless an international release is being worked on already). :(

Alcar...

erwinraaben55 11-18-2004 03:08 AM

is it really worth buying the DVD (with game) if you can't use the game (pal>ntsc). Or is it possible to buy the DVD apart one time later that year??

And about the DVD, is it also NTSC, so that you can't play it on PAL? Or is it a region free DVD.

Xavier 11-18-2004 04:41 AM

well it seems it's NTSC only at the moment...
I'm waiting anxiously for a Pal version

Alcar 11-18-2004 06:05 AM

Theoretically, I could get someone in the US to put their name down for a copy, and have them retrieve the DVD at the time. Then later cancel the order. Being NTSC doesn't bother me, as I've got a zone unlocker, in a machine which supports multiple 'types': PAL, NTSC, and the other lesser known ones.

But, it still urks me that those without such devices who don't live in the US are going to be excluded. And what with Alf mentioning that it was a limited time offer, suggests that it will only be in the US. Unless you have something installed for us non-Americans at a later date? Seems fair.

Alcar...

Nate 11-18-2004 05:38 PM

I don't understand; is this only through the EB website or in stores as well?

Also, is it the FMVs from Stranger only, or Abe and Munch as well?

oddguy 11-18-2004 05:52 PM

So, does the DVD only include in-game movies? What about extras like Use Yur Imagination, Get Freaky, Never before seen cinematics...etc?

-oddguy

Xavier 11-19-2004 07:28 AM

from all the games NDW, I hope there will be extras, like trailers and such :p

Parafox 11-19-2004 06:35 PM

Well, I really want the DVD, But I don't have an X-Box so can't get the game (even though it's american so it wouldn't play here anyway).

I want that DVD soooooooooooooo bad.

Odd Trusting 11-19-2004 06:59 PM

Read message above first for info about me not being a new member. Dearest BenFaull I think you might be able to get a DVD in a couple of months off ebay. But don't worry you might be able to specialty order them from EA gmaes.

Dipstikk 11-19-2004 09:54 PM

I've seen all of your posts. In at least 50% of them, you stated that you weren't a new member. That you've been here for a while.
We GET IT. Stop saying it, please. Please!
Because in all honestly, I can tell you that very few of us need to be told that in 6 out of your 8 posts, and really, very few of us care.

Edit: I was mistaken. In EVERY F*CKING SINGLE POST that you typed here, you say "I'm an Oddworld creature" or "I'm a veteran."
If it continues, I'm sure that the Mods will take action, because you're pretty much spamming the forums.

Odd Trusting 11-20-2004 06:29 AM

Well if you kinda knew who I was before you would see WHY I need to state it (plus I hope somebody can remind me of my account name if somebody knows it). Come on guys why are we posting, for Oddworld sake so get back on track on Oddworld news

OANST 11-20-2004 06:44 AM

I'm actually thinking about cancelling my order. I expected them to take the money out of my account when I ordered it but they didn't. I think they are waiting for the games release to do that. Problem is I don't know how much I'll have in there when it comes time. grrrrr.

Odd Trusting 11-20-2004 07:43 AM

Thanks for getting us back on track old and not so tasty. I think I know what you mean it did the same thing to me, I mean we could always buy it in stores and then go shopping on Ebay couple of months later to see if someone put their DVD up for bid. I would maybe wait or try and contact them about it old and not so tasty (please forgive me if you have already done this) hope I was helpful, sorry if I wasn't

Alcar 11-20-2004 11:15 PM

Old and not so tasty, which type did you order?

If it was the Limited Edition, it should say on the page that for this 'type', the money AUD$200 would be withdrawn sometime in December. For the softcover and hardcover books, the money was withdrawn instantly. What I'm doing is making sure that my Father has more than two hundred dollars in his account at all times :p

Alcar...

Nate 11-21-2004 12:53 PM

he's not talking about the books alcar, he's talking about the game on the eb website.




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.
