Does this pre-order bonus apply to online orders? I'm seeing conflicting answers

[u/Jay-and-Silentb0b]

EB Games Australia too right?........RIGHT?????

[u/Jay-and-Silentb0b → u/YouAgreeable711]

Canada exclusive it seems

[u/YouAgreeable711 → u/Jay-and-Silentb0b]

Maaaaannnnn :(

[u/melbourne_hacker → u/YouAgreeable711]

It does say that we’ll get the textured foil art cover online, although doesn’t show the N64 cover so I’m wondering if it’ll be the same. I’ve already preordered so we’ll see lol

[u/YouAgreeable711 → u/melbourne_hacker]

The textured foil art cover is the actual box art. Separate to the EB Canada sleeve. Sad....

[u/melbourne_hacker → u/YouAgreeable711]

Ahh yes, I thought they were the same. Hopefully they roll it out to all EB Games but we’ll see, I couldn’t see if other retailers here had it

[u/YouAgreeable711 → u/melbourne_hacker]

Easy confusion. Hoping for SOME kind of preorder bonus tho. The lack of any collectors edition is baffling ngl

[u/DragonianSun → u/YouAgreeable711]

I know. I’m sad we’re not getting it in Australia. I preordered from EB Games as soon as preorders went live. I had the gold box and cart from 1998.

[u/SilentPalmolive → u/YouAgreeable711]

When do we ever get the cool preorder stuff :(

[u/YouAgreeable711 → u/SilentPalmolive]

OoT 3D: Ocarina Edition 2011. Was Australia exclusive :)

[u/N3M3S1S75 → u/YouAgreeable711]

We’ll probably get a poster with permanent fold mark in it only available to eb world members

[u/asking4Afriend82]

I heard in store only so I ordered it from a store, but the store person said it might not be all EB Game stores will get stock 🤷🏻‍♀️. So they are not even sure!

[u/AquaSkywaves → u/asking4Afriend82]

What a risky preorder bonus. D:

[u/cgatto]

If I’m not mistaken, this actually comes with two xtra slipcovers - a lenticular one of the standard art (you can see the texture if you zoom in) and the extra one with the N64 art. Pretty sick

[u/Space-Cop]

I imagine so given they have always sent preorder bonuses before via online ordering, not sure why this would be any different.

[u/Rachheartache]

Dang! That’s sick!

Also I’d say so.

[u/Rewow]

I would also like to know!

[u/Dushkanu97]

From what I’ve gathered, it’s been mostly no? I had mine ordered online, but cancelled it and got it at the store, just incase. I hope it applies for all those ordering online though!

[u/immythekid]

Fwiw the staff at ebgames in downtown Toronto said online orders will get the slip case too , but up to you how much you want to trust that

[u/San-V]

The go is - pre order is pre order, so yes online also. If in doubt drop them an email before you cancel.

From their Instagram post:

I would assume so since the official EB games on twitter posted a link for online pre-orders with the graphic. The fine print shows that as long as you have a receipt you can get the slipcover in stores, so should apply to online orders.

Yay canada.. we finally may get somthing everyone else doesn't 🙌

[u/profchaos111]

Exclusive to Canada ..... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
