Oddbox Releasing This Holiday

[abe619]

Can't Wait To Have A Girl Fri......I Mean CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE STRANGER AND MUNCH ON MAH PC!!!

[Viper45]

It's kind of annoying that the price of Munch's Oddysee and Stranger's Wrath together is the same price as the entire Oddbox, but it's still a great price so I can't really complain. I was just hoping to save a little bit of money by only getting those two.

Prepare my money Scraby

[Crashpunk]

Oh so the OddBoxx is £19.99? That is a great value for money.

[Varrok]

If I bought all 4-game pack on steam, and have first 2, would I be able to gift it to someone?

I was just about to ask that myself.

dripik:
And the MO wiki page needs some refreshing concerning the Oddbox release, if anyone is into that.

Already taken care of, my good man.
And WOOHOO! Perfect timing OWI! My friends and I are fired up for the Oddboxx...
... and come to think of it, I really don't know if I should just get MO and SW or get the whole Oddboxx (plus potential gift) for the same price. I guess it'll depend on whether or not my mum wants to play the full PC version of Abe's Oddysee whenever or if she'd prefer to play the original on the PSone again sometime... ack! I'm rambling!

I'll just get the whole collection.

This is based on third-hand knowledge, so don't quote me on it, but I believe that you can't split up a game pack in to its parts and gift them seperately. You might be able to gift your existing copies of AO and AE though. Not sure.

We won't know until the pack is released, or until we get some official news that clears that up. Chances are you won't be able to gift your extra copies. That's how it usually works on Steam, but there are some packs that do let you gift your extra copies.

So most likely you won't be able to gift them, but there is still a chance they'll allow it.

For people wondering:

The Oddboxx : all 4 games $24.99
Stranger’s Wrath $14.99
Munch’s Oddysee $9.99
Abe’s Oddysee $4.99
Abe’s Exoddus $4.99

I suggest not to get used to that prices... At least not to € ones - The price for AO/AE on Steam is NOT €4.99 (as said on oddworld.com news)

[Fred The Fuzzle]

Well that's gay for people who've already bought AO & AE, we have to pay the same price for MO & SW or the entire pack, which I gather Valve won't let us Gift to friends.

[Wil]

Shut up complaining, it's still an awesome deal.

[Sanssouci]

God i hope the MO and SW ports are good. I'll be so disappointed if they're shoddy or buggy, but I understand Xbox -> PC to be an easier process than most other platform ports. Here's to optimism.

[Fred The Fuzzle]

Shut up complaining, it's still an awesome deal.

I'm sorry I don't want to waste the $25 I spent on the original pack.

[ColgateCat]

why the euro prices are so high? it's not like that the dollar has the same value of the euro

[Andrelvis]

If I bought all 4-game pack on steam, and have first 2, would I be able to gift it to someone?

I don't think anyone will know... it might be better to contact Steam directly, if you haven't done so yet.

[Viper45]

At some point during checkout it will notify you if the games won't be giftable. It'll have AO and AE marked somehow and have a notice somewhere on the checkout page that says you already own these games and will not receive additional licenses for them. Just pay attention during checkout, and if you see that there, you'll know you can't gift them.

Feel sorry for Australians, for the past ten years games have double the price of US, yet our dollar has been roughly the same (We were higher about a month ago).

Which is why I always buy games on Steam, at US prices.

[Gilrod]

Because ...

£ and Euro prices have TAX included in the price. In America the TAX is added later, so the price you see in $ does NOT include TAX.

[Gilrod]

I suggest not to get used to that prices... At least not to € ones - The price for AO/AE on Steam is NOT €4.99 (as said on oddworld.com news)

It isn't? that's the prices Valve told us :-/

[metroixer]

Looks like Stranger's Wrath for PC got gold. Not really sure what that means but hey seems like good news!

[Manco]

Looks like Stranger's Wrath for PC got gold. Not really sure what that means but hey seems like good news!

If a game is announced as "going gold", that means they've fully developed and tested the final build of the game, meaning they've got the version of the game they're going to release.

I'm so excited all of a sudden.

Are those updated renders or just old publicity images Photoshopped for Christmas?

Dunno about TAXes though
