It is the American version
On eagames.co.uk there is a cool stranger boxart that is "lighter" then the boxart on other site...
And it also has the free DVD inclusive.

eagames.co.uk's store is down right now
I hope it won't be for too long! So I can finally buy the game and get my hands on that bonus dvd

[Nate]

eagames.com.au doesn't even list Stranger at all.

Does anyone know if the Oddworld DVD is coming to Australia

[Cloverfield]

eagames.com.au always takes forever to update from what I recall when they distributed FFX-2. Plus it's probably too early anyways seeing the site only deals in local releases.

I guess only time will tell as to whether us Aussies will get the DVD. Sometimes we miss out on stuff that the US gets, sometimes we get extras. It all depends on the company distributing the game.

This probably isn't much help as it's not a definitive answer, but here's what I know.... The dvd will have an English PAL version. Whether or not it will be distributed in AU, I'm not sure yet. We're all crossing our fingers for our Aussie fans, though!

[Oddish]

Thanks fot with your answer Alf Aslo eruope fans.

[Xavier]

thank you Alf
can't wait to get my hands on it

[Alcar]

Thanks for that information Alf. At least their will be a European PAL version, so I can get it on eBay at least.

Alcar...

Stranger is currently available for pre-order at EA's online store, anyone ordered it yet? Apparently if you order early enough you get a free dvd with all the Oddworld movies.


EDIT: Sorry, didn't realize it had already been posted, still exciting though

[Xavier]

yeah we saw
I'm still waiting for the european bonus dvd to show up

[oddguy]

We have another topic similiar to this one.

*merges*

[Alcar]

I'd really like to hold the DVD in my hands, in a beautiful Australian PAL version. But alas, it appears as if Australia is going to be disregarded - even though things such as the Art of Oddworld Book were produced here.

eBay it is!

Alcar...

[Parafox]

I was just wondering is the DVD going to be region free or only european/american region coding? because I'll get it imported if it's region free but otherwise i can't play it.

[Wil]

As is my understanding, Australia is PAL, so you could import a European PAL copy, if it's possible.

[Alcar]

Sounds like a good plan to me. So will somebody be willing to copy it for us Australians? We'd pay you for the shipping / packaging / CD. Just need someone willing.

Alcar...

[Nate]

Lets first find out if EA Oz is gracious enough to give us the DVD also, then make plans if not.

[Wil]

Alcar... copy it? I meant copy as in a DVD, not a burnt disk. It may be a free bonus DVD, but it's still subject to copyright laws.

Alcar...

alcar!!
thats against the law!!
joking
wel it is against the law but i dont mean it that i care
i think everyone of us hase something to do with illigal cd,dvd copy
maby im so cute to help you but i dont want to get arrested

[oddguy]

Would it be wrong of me to reserve another copy of Stranger, grab the DVD, then cancel the pre-order and send the DVD to Alcar?

-oddguy

[caracal]

what do you mean odd guy? I dont understand what you meant by "grab the DVD" but it sounds like you're still tricking OWI with this idea.

I think the better thing to do would be just reserve another copy, and when the 2 come alcar pays you for shipping / packaging / CD, you send it, we dont betray our beloved OWI and everyone's happy.

[Nate]

Oddguy, how could you possibly get the DVD without the game so you could cancel your preorder?

Or am I thinking to hard?

[Software Bug]

yes you are thinking to hard :
just order it wait till it arives.
grab the dvd and send it back and say the game is the other format or something like that

[oddguy]

what do you mean odd guy? I dont understand what you meant by "grab the DVD" but it sounds like you're still tricking OWI with this idea.

Oddguy, how could you possibly get the DVD without the game so you could cancel your preorder?

I'm basing my silly idea on this post from AA...

Here's the thing though...I don't think an American DVD will work in an Australian DVD Player. Plus, I'm not into scamming OWI.
If Alcar can get one of those "region free" DVD players, I could try and ask if I could buy one of those DVD's.

-oddguy

[Wil]

My understanding is that oddguy isn't in a PAL region, anyway, although there's nothing actually wrong with doing what you suggest. At least, not that I can see.

[REGNARTS]

Hi guys.I just pre-order my Stranger's Wrath game + the bonus DVD in a EBgames store (Montreal,Canada).I took pictures of the promotional box...sorry for the poor quality of the pictures.

[Software Bug]

wow thats great
i asked here but they say i can only order it after 19 december (shoppingsunday) here

[Xavier]

wow, REGNARTS

notice the second picture looks like the advert that was scanned, but with stranger in a more active attitude.

[REGNARTS]

You're right Xavier. You can't really see is face on the picture but believe me he look very angry.

[Xavier]
