Bonus Disk Confusion

[Amy-chan]

Is it possible to get the Colosseum Bonus Disk without preordering?????????????????????????

[Shinin]

no. i think. yeah. wait... yeah. ok.
stupid word mininum...

[Kairi]

I’m not sure. It’s possible some stores may sell their leftovers like they did the Zelda bonus disc, but the only guarantee is eBay or preordering.

[Rifted]

I'm tempted to preorder, although I've already seen a lot of Colosseum footage, along with the 6th movie. But getting Jirachi in a legit manner is pretty much all I'm after.

According to some release dates, the game is coming out around my birthday. Great for me. =D

[DragonTrainer]

I think so far the only way to get it is pre-order, or perhaps ebay and sites like that

[Tweak]

i'm wondering, does every store offer that promo disk? or only ebgames.com?

[Kairi]

It should be every store, since NP is saying you get it anywhere you preorder it.

[Arcanine]

Well I think most all stores that you can pre-order it has the disk. Thats why I will be going to a ToysRus to get mine.
And I think the only way to disk is to pre-order Colosseum.

[Kairi]

Most likely, as they did with the Zelda bonus disc, any leftovers will be sold $10 a pop, at least at my EB.

[Amy-chan]

YAY!!!! I got a Bonus Disk from Ebay without preordering!!(Don't like to preorder.Takes to long to get the game.) :(

[Latios Master]

YAY!!!! I got a Bonus Disk from Ebay without preordering!!
How is that possible? It's not out yet. Not until Monday I think.

Lots of stuff appears on eBay before in stores, probably because the stores have already had the bonus discs sent out to them, though they won't give them out till Mon...

[Pikachu Fan38]

Do you get the bonus disk the moment you preorder or do
you have to wait until march 22?

u get it the moment you order some store are already giving them out.

[Amy-chan]

This disk has sooo much stuff!!! I now have 3 Jirachis, one in Sapphire and two in Ruby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( I have an extra in Ruby thanks to a friend in Canada. :] :] :] )

[*~Ashley~*]

yesterday i went to Circuit City to get the disk and the people there were so stupid. 1st they didn't even know about and had to call around the store to see who for me to talk to. and they had advertised for it in the paper so i knew they had it! you know how you were supposed to pay $10 for it. yeah i paid a penny. A PENNY! they had no idea what they were doing there. not at all!

[Scyther5]

REALLY? XD harharhar, i'll hope off to Circuit City now.

=/ but actually, what place do you think is better? Ebgames or Toys R Us or Target? i'm thinking i'm going to whicher place has the bonus disk in stock.

[123hi45]

you should go to ebgames. i just got mine about 2 hours ago by preordering colloseum there.

Well I got mine at ToysRus. You mite have to go there and see if thay got it or not (when ever I call there thay dont have a clue what im talking about).

[HightopNinja]

I preordered mine yesterday..basically just for that disc..haven't gotten the disc though. My friend's gamestop was out or hadn't gotten it yet..so he's just waiting on it for me(it's nice to know the manager). Once it's in, I'll swoop in and be a happy dancing ninja.

[Shinin]

i preordered it on ebgames.com or amazon.com or something and i think they're gonna send the bonus disk until they send the game, which is gonna be like March 26th or something...
stupid online preordering...

[Arcanine]

Well on the disk it says the release date for Colosseum is the 24th of March. So thay moved it back two days just like Ruby/Sapphire.

[Dragonair]

Well I Am Preordering Mine At GameCrazy And They Said They Have Only 20 Or So Left And I Have To Wait Two Days To Preorder Mine!(My Grandparents Will Not Take Me Until Two Days From Now!

[Tweak]

i went to the mall...and i found out that the EBgames closed!!! -_-;; so i had to drive to toys r us to get it. yah~! they had a lot in stock. heh, too bad they ask u for ur phone number...darn, so that means i can't go to another toys r us to get another one. :laugh:

i took a photo of the disc! enjoy~ :laugh: i'm in a...hyper mood.

[Draupnir2005]

Can you pre-order in England yet?

[Dragon Tamer Jason]

I pre-ordered my copy from EB mainly so I can get Jirachi. I don't have a Gamecube but my sis does and when I have some money saved up I'll buy my own Gamecube and the copy of Colloseum I pre-ordered.

[Scyther5]

Thanks Zapchu for the pix they look great!

[Kyosuke]

I pre ordered mine yesterday for $5 then I went back and payed another $15.00, but today I just decided to get pay off everything and can just pick it up when its released which costs $68.99 Can. (for me anyway).

[Latios Master]

When I pre-ordered mine at Toys-R-Us, I could only put $5 down. I wanted to put down a $10 since that was all I had plus a $1 and $2 in change, but I couldn't. Luckily they gave me 2 $5's for my $10. At GameStop I could put down whatever I wanted that was $5+, but they didn't have the bonus disks. That's where I pre-ordered Ruby.

[Shadow]

I got the Preorder disc yesterday. My Jirachi is at level 6 now! Yay! I actually played Sapphire enough to get it to grow a level! XD

[Arcanine]

When I went to go get my bonus disk at ToysRUs it came up as $70 dollars. So if you wanted to buy the disk and didn't want Colosseum then it would cost you $70 bucks.

[Latios Master]

Yeah, I saw the same thing. I don't see how a bonus disk can cost more than the game itself. o_O

[Tweak]

hummm, i pre-ordered mine at toys r us for $5 down. then they gave me a coupon and stapled the reciept to it. the coupon states that i can get colloseum for $44.99

[Kyosuke]

$70? The bonus disc for me was completely free when I pre ordered at EB Games, ToyRUs must be doing something wrong. With tax it came up to $68.99 for me, but thats because I payed for Colosseum.

[JoWood]

The Bonus doesn't do anything but correct the Berry Glitch and give you a Jirachi. It shouldn't be $70. I'll check the EB later on.

[Tweak]

wait are we talking about US dollars Canadian dollars ot Euro Dollars here? o_O;; i'm quite confused. well, the total at toys r us here was $44.99USD (for the game)+$5.00USD (for the disk)

o_O;; i hope that $70 is canadian dollars or something else...or that's quite messed up.

[Kairi]

It sounds like someone was being taken advantage of, if you ask me.

[Kyosuke]

Yes it was Canadian $68.99 and thats with tax already added meaning it was $59.99 in Canada. And yes it is a bit strange for $70 just for the bonus disc...

[FauxCivility]

I pre-order at target, which is the best place to pre-order. YOu get the bonus disc + a coupon for a free gba-gcn link cable.

My Jirachi is already at level 41. It grows levels soooo fast!!

[Latios Master]

That $70 is U.S. dollars. Toys'R'Us makes you pay $70 dollars for the bonus disk if you buy it without pre-ordering Pokemon Colosseum. If you pre-order Pokemon Colosseum, like I did, the bonus disk is free. It's messed up, I know... o_O

[Kairi]

That should be reported, Nintendo does not want you to resell them and not at that price. =\

[Kyosuke]

Woah *_* something is very wrong with that, I strongly agree with Kairi about Nintendo knowing about this, just think of how many people got ripped off by that...

[Tweak]

hmmm well, the toys r us i went to didn't sell it...the game is supposed to be 49.99 correct? then the bonus disk is for free, but u still have to put down a certain amount of money to reserve it.

hehe, they don't want u to just reserve it n take the disk and never come back to get the game.

[Vensy]

yesterday i went to Circuit City to get the disk and the people there were so stupid. 1st they didn't even know about and had to call around the store to see who for me to talk to. and they had advertised for it in the paper so i knew they had it! you know how you were supposed to pay $10 for it. yeah i paid a penny. A PENNY! they had no idea what they were doing there. not at all!

Woah, I thought I was the only one who had a funny experience at Circuit City. XD I went with my dad to Circuit City to look around and when my dad was paying for some hard drive he wanted to buy I saw teh bonus disc, so I decided to preorder there since they had it. They were so .. untrained though. o_O They didn't know what they were doing. Excactly what happened to you..they started calling around the store. o.o They even had to get some kind of price book with a bar code to read. XD It took them fifteen minutes to get it completed. XD

[SwampertLover]

its possible, this dude that worked for gamestop gave me one for free! since i dont have a gamcube
i used it at my friends house
