UK release
 
So, has anybody else recieved their UK version of Heart Gold/Soul Silver? And if not, do you expect it on release day if you have ordered from the internet?

Personally, i recieved mine today (Thursday, 1 day before release) after only ordering it on the Tuesday, 3 days before release, i guess it's just luck of the draw. I also recieved the Lugia figurine which i was pretty surprised at as it was a "First come First serve" basis from what ive heard.

Share your stories/controversy here!

Can I join in? Australia's was only released on the 25th. ;3;

I preordered where I work, so I woke up around 10am and went in to pick up my copy and my sister's and then played for like eight hours. No figurine here.

I originally ordered mine on Amazon, but then I found that I got a better deal at GAME, as I'm trading in some games as well, so will only have to pay £20 for the game and the guide, instead of £30 for just the game on Amazon.

Plus I'll get it sooner. Tomorrow in town to be precise.

SiReNzZ March 25th, 2010 8:55 AM

Im picking my copy of SS up tomorrow ^^
Cant wait :D

Sounds good guys, GAME seem to love me when it comes to pre-orders. Always get my pre-orders 1 or 2 days before release. So yeah, i guess i was kind of lucky.

Going to have to check out this PokeWalker in a second :D Also, the english box art seems to be different to the US version, i forgot to mention that in the thread.

iRawr March 25th, 2010 9:11 AM

Yeah Pre-ordered mine last week and got it today ^^
I friggin love it :)

Thanks GAME!!!

Lol! I was excited for HG/SS to come out in the US, but my next day off of work was 2 days after it's release. Which is okay, I don't mind waiting so much. As long as I get what I want

I imported the US version of HeartGold but pre-ordered SoulSilver at GAME when I went to the Arceus event, just because I can. =D

My mate preordered too and is positively bursting with excitement, and I'm driving into town with him tomorrow after college to pick our copies up.

Zebeedoo March 25th, 2010 10:33 AM

Mine arrived today too. I was on the bus one the way home when my boyfriend rang me up and said his had arrived, which made me excited and hopeful that mine had arrived too. I was so excited that I bit my friend's shoulder next to me. He was pretending to sob for a bit, then said he hoped his had arrived too.

So, mine did, my bf's did, another of our friends' did - the friend who I bit ordered his off Amazon thinking he'd get it before us but it's not here yet lol. Also lugia figure bweee ♥

What did you start with? I have a female Totodile (first go, no trying!) called Mapleleaf. I always nickname my pokes. Also a geodude called Damek which is Hebrew for Earth/Ground

I'm pretty despondent at the moment, considering I pre-ordered from Amazon with Free Super Saver Delivery. Little did I know until it was dispatched today that the estimated delivery time is listed as 31st March!!! If that's an accurate indication of my delivery date, then i'm absolutely distraught to be honest as i've been building up to tomorrow's release date for ages, expecting that i'd receive it on the day.

I'd like to say I should've known to go with GAME, considering that offers free delivery with reliable delivery, but considering this was my first time of online transaction, this is a harsh lesson that i'll no doubt remember from. All I was concerned with was getting the cheapest price due to my student lifestyle. Ah well, now for the prolonged wait...

My Heart Gold arrived today. Was a fantastic little surprise actually as it was only dispatched yesterday and I didn't expect it till the very least tomorrow. Got home from the cinema at about 9:00 and have notched up 2 and a half hours already.. Oh my!

Pikachu-dance! March 26th, 2010 7:44 AM

Mine came todday oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah

SiReNzZ March 26th, 2010 7:51 AM

Finally got it here in Ireland ^^
I love it :D
