Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

Now if I could just get the credit card info of my cousin I'd be a happy man. :mad: Well, I know there'll be units left when I order it. Else, bad things WILL happen :devil:

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

i just sold 2 copies of the game on ebay, apparently people are paying 60-70 dollars for just the game, so i got myself two more gamecubes at 30-35 dollars a piece. ah, the joys of life!

If you own the game(s), inside the box where the instruction booklet and whatnot is, there should be an extra piece of paper that has on the back a number for you to type in at the site nintendo has for inputting codes.

Ehm when you buy a game, ALWAYS check that you get the card... I didn't get one with ED.

What do you mean? Only the newer games so far come with the card that has the PIN number. All my past games never had one for obvious reasons.

Unlesssss....since your in Europe, you have the Stars program thing where the games etc...come with the "star card"

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

Ehm yeah, we've had the system since launch. :D
We can get GameBoy Players and GameBoys with it. Posters of Mario and Zelda, with Miyamoto's signature. Stuff like that, it's just WAY expensive. You'd have to own every game to get the most expensive things.

I really have no problem at all with Nintendo trying to promote other poducts and adding a special free bonus with it. But the people who do not want to purchase these extra items are being forced to do so (ok, I know Nintendo isn't literally forcing people to buy it, but you know what I mean). And sure, it may only be a little $20 subscription. But you know what? I don't want any damn Nintendo Power subscription.

It's odd how Microsoft makes almost no profit at all from the Xbox, yet they continue to produce it, adding wave after wave of new features, more online support and additions, and other quality things such as attaining good third party developers to make great games for the system.

It is almost impossible to make a profit with a dedicated online network this gen.

PS2 and Xbox online network users: 1.5 million
PS2 and Xbox combined worldwide install base: 60 million

That's 2.5% of PS2 and Xbox owners going online with their consoles. Strange how a company not gaining profit from something would continue to support it.

And Nintendo, the company making the highest profit intake of the three companies, chooses to carrying on in ways which are more beneficial to them rather than their customers.

Companies want money, I agree. But companies also want to make their customers happy. A happy customer will continue to purchase their products and support them.

+Rep because you are right. We can even go back to the example of Nintendo selling Rare. Nintendo is all about the money. Microsoft and Sony believe that increasing the quality of their product at all costs is important and that it will mean success in the long run, Nintendo used to think this way, but now Nintendo cares about marketability first, and quality second. Maybe they don't want to end up like Sega; respected, but dead.

No way Im going to buy it. I already own every game on it. :rolleyes:

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

I tried to play ALttP on my SNES, but the controller is all screwed up.
Oh wait, LttP isn't on the disc. :unsure: Anyway. :D I'm buying Mario Kart and 1080 so I get the disc for free.

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

Does it matter which Nintendo Power magazine you subscribe too? I just purchased the one with the Fire Emblem picture on the cover, but it says nothing about the Zelda Bonus Disks on the subscription form. Does Nintendo just ship you the game with the subscription? Or am I looking at the wrong Nintendo Power?

*is confused

It actually SHOULD have been hear Wednesday. Washington (where I assume it shipped from) is 4 days to Chicago, so I assume it's the same for Washington to Hicktown IL. I noticed you posted at 6:35, UPS can deliver as late as 7 or 8 PM.

Course, if they shipped it via the post office it could arrive in 2023 and it's still technically not "late" and there's ZERO guarantees on when it will get there. Complete crapshoot. But the good news with the post office is that they DO deliver this Friday cause I'm waiting for something too.

It's too bad they dont give you a little more information, they dont even tell you if they shipped it USPS or UPS or whatever. I didnt know UPS didnt deliver friday...I did know that US Mail does...my dad works there.

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

^_^ I got the disc today. I can tell Ninty didn't do much in porting Majora's Mask, when going from one area to the next, the sound stutters for a quick less then a second or so if it has to load or whatever.

But overall, I'll finally be able to play MM all the way through since last time I played MM I rented it and a file was already at the end so I used that:p

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

I don't care too much about MM, I'm getting it because of the NES games. :D

All I have to do is buy 1080 and register and then wait... :)

Same here man. I just sent an email to nintendo, we'll see what kind of a garbage response I get from them. I'll be sure to post it as soon as I do. It says on that mynintendo thing under my subscriptions that the disc shipped on the 20th...and im thinking they really didnt ship it on the 20th because it wouldve been here by now...

I hate ordering things off of them.

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

:rofl:OMG that's hilarious!!! Getting the players guide AFTER you beat the game! :rolleyes:

I hope Nintendo Europe is better...
I once ordered replacement analog sticks for the N64 controller, they came pretty fast. Within a few weeks at least... :)
It's a shame that they won't ship me the disc until next year... Unless I buy it with my stars, but I don't have enough yet. :p
And then I'd get the disc twice... which would be a shame, beacause I wanna wait till they have GB players and stuff again.

How did you order just replacement analog sticks and put them in yourself?! If this method is possible, then I wasted tons of money back in the '64 days on controllers...damned analog sticks.

But back on topic now:)

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

Welp I got a response from nintendo(took a little longer than I thought because I didnt send them enough information the first time) here's the email...

Hello,

I was sorry to hear that you haven't received your Zelda Collector's game disc.
Using the information that you provided, we were able to send out a replacement.
Please note that the replacement disc should arrive within the next 10-14 days.
If you happen to receive the original disc, as well as the replacement disc,
please send the second one back with "Return to Sender" marked on the outside of
the package.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let us know!

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America
Jon Freeman

It's good to hear that theyre at least making an effort to help people. After browsing Nintendo's forums, I realise that a lot of the people who ordered their disc the first day they became available are having problems. Anyone else who hasnt recieved their disc yet(Ginkasa), I suggest you email nintendo, they seem happy to help. Email parts@noa.nintendo.com

what do you mean "give it back" Are you saying I should give it to you?

Jonbo298

12-08-2003 10:20 PM

Re: 3 Ways to Get Zelda Bonus Disc! (New one)

I meant that if Ninty knows you have a second disc (along with the first one) and they request it back, give it to them...otherwise keep both if you get 2.

If you order it with Nintendo Power does it just get shipped with your first issue, or what?
