WHo whoa, my game should have come with a jirachi bonus disk?

[Beechlgz]

I have had Colosseum for years and I just realised that for most people it came with a Jirachi disk.

For me, it came with Pokemon BOX. :|

So... was this a rip-off? Or did some games actually not come with the Jirachi disk? Also, I'd like to buy one, but they're expensive! No way am I paying $30+ for a single pokemon! I'm wondering if...

1) It might be easier to buy a wifi-adapter to plug into the USB port so I can play Pearl online, and then try to trade for one. What are the chances?
2) If I actually do find a bonus disk for a reasonable price, would it work? If the seller had already used it, will the Jirachi be gone?

My dad got one only because he thought it was the real game. I think if you pre-ordered the game you'd get it for free. I see them for 20 bucks sometimes, but those are few and far between. Also If you bought it used it it would work unless it was used on a game that had the same secret AND trainer ID, so the chances of that are slim to none.

Or you can get the japanese bonus disc with celebi! Only $400!

As far as I know, the Jirachi disk was a bonus gift for pre-ordering, it never came packaged with the game. Jirachi was also available in Europe, bundled with Pokémon Channel. I could be wrong, though.

Uh the discs the games are on aren't rewritable so the jirachi would be obtainable over and over (i think...)
