Can you pre-order in England yet?

Dragon Tamer Jason February 23rd, 2004 9:40 AM

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.

Thanks Zapchu for the pix they look great!

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).

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.

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

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 February 25th, 2004 4:00 PM

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

Tweak February 25th, 2004 6:01 PM

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

$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 February 26th, 2004 5:19 AM

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 February 26th, 2004 11:57 AM

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 February 26th, 2004 12:37 PM

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

Kyosuke February 26th, 2004 2:02 PM

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...

pokejungle February 26th, 2004 2:48 PM

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!!

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 February 26th, 2004 3:04 PM

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

Kyosuke February 26th, 2004 5:07 PM

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...

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.

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
