Only today, so don't miss this if you haven't already purchased the book. I'm afraid this offer will only be for the hardcover version, but it's better than nothing.

Good news: It includes the Folio Edition.
Bad news: I closed my browser whilst putting in the order (but before paying) and now my copy is listed as 'SOLD'. Damn.

Damn, I wish I had the money for this.

For me, the offer will still be up in the morning - I'll see if I can convince mum to buy it for me then.

EDIT: but it says "Discount not available on Folio Editions"... well damn, if it actually does include that, I'm going to knock some money out of my mother tomorrow as sure as hell.

I'd like the book.. It says limited edition, is that only for the "folio" book? What's the difference between that and the soft and hard cover ones? Is it just the cover? The content's still the same?

The Folio edition is three times the price of the Hardcover, but is printed better and on better paper and has a certificate signed by Lorne and Sherry.

Actually signed? By hand? What's the 'embossed' lettering refer to? just the title cover I'd assume..?

Sweet! They sent me an order confirmation email with a link back to the site that allowed me to view the invoice and pay the bill. So #43 is on its way to me as we speak.

Now I just need to find somewhere to keep it.

Aw man. I want this book so goddamn much it isn't funny. It isn't funny at all.

Damn it, I want it, but the shipping to Finland is 30$ plus.

*sigh*

I'm surprised you didn't already have it, Nate.

I'd get this for myself, but sadly, I am broke. Nice job finding out about this though, Xav.

That's cool but I already have it, and I'm not gonna by another edition. gimmick gimmick

Give my regards to Sue, she will personally make sure you get your baby number 43 in good condition :p

You people have too much goddamned money.

Not anymore I don't :P

I'm still waiting for my folio edition to finally come home:happy:
I whant to read it so much:hungry:

erwinraaben55 there is a difference between versions?

You better read better
I only have one version open for reading, the others are SEALED

Other than covers there's no difference, but the Oddworld Folio is supposed to have better optimized printing, so yeah, that could be a better version.

What's the pont in keeping them sealed?
And how can you resist?:fuzvamp:

I was unemployed at the time it came out. And now that I have been employed for a while, I couldn't justify $300 for a book I technically already own (in hardcover). I still can't justify $250, but I figure it's never going to be cheaper than this so I bit the bullet.

It's really urgent, I want to buy a black leather limited Edition and only a few hours ago, I could see in my chart a discount, but now when I want to pay the book, they told me "You have entered a voucher code, but there are no items in your cart that can be discounted." =(

This might either be because the action has expired (cyber monday was yesterday) or because it's not applicable on Limited edition (like it says on the picture I posted)

But apparently Nate was able to use it for the Folio Edition even though it was mentioned it wouldn't work.

Hmm well but it only works for me for the "Hard-Cover"-books. The Folio-Edition is also expensive like everytime... and only a few hours ago it works also with the Limited-Edtion. It's so annoying. =(

EDIT:

Maybe Iam just doing it wrong to enter the discount, where did I have to sign it? Could someone please check it up`? =(

It's possible that they hadn't intended the Folio edition to be included, but they didn't realise it had been until my order went through and then scrambled to fix it. Or possibly the discount has just expired.

If you're going through the same process for the hard cover and for the folio, it should work. If it doesn't, it means they've changed the rules internally to match what was advertised.

Which means I just got lucky. You have my sympathies.

Well it seems you just get lucky. I've tried every combination but it works only for the hard-cover edition. I could slap myself that I didn't bought it just the few hours ago, cause I didn't mentioned my salary for this month... =(

I really do need to find my old copy, and I fear the worst. Books tend to break in my care, or rather my lack thereof.

I was going to gloat about how it arrived today and how wonderful it is to finally live in the same country as an online store that sells something worth buying. But then I opened the package and they sent me the wrong book. Dang.

What book did they send you?

Yeah, that really asks for pictures!

He got a Hard Cover version for the piece of a Folio edition...

You have my sympathies.

:p

They sent me Exotique 6. I sent them an email and they've already replied, apologising for the mixup. They're going to send out my Folio on Monday and I can keep Exotique as compensation. Though what I'm going to do with a book full of scantily-clad female CG models, I don't know.

*Raises hand*
