That's right boys and boyettes - I took a l;eisurely stroll to Gamestation on my lunch break to return a PC game, asked the guy at the counter if they were selling them. "No, sorry." he replied.

Oh, well, worth a try. Then I mentioned that Comet were doing them for a tenner.

(silence)

*Guy's workmate has a whispey natter with him*

Next thing I know, he slides the box over the counter, nothing said.

So. I now have a 'Zelda Collectors Edition promotional disc' sat in front of me, with Legend of Zelda, Zelda 2, OoT and Majoras Mask (I could have swore there were five games mentioned somewhere. Oh well).

Result!

Heh, ok

Hoping it comes before Christmas, and it'd be nice if it came in a box, but it seems doubtful.

Wah.. easy on the old table there Auf!

Should say "get" not "got". No, haven't received mine yet :( I don't think Nintendo has sent them out, no one else has receieved them, I think.

tphi, did it come in a parcel?

Reason I ask is because normal mail (including Cds in a hadrback envelope) are grouped in the open area, where anyone could in theory just look at someone's mail, even take it. No doubt a small looking letter with Nintendo's return address would incite interest.

Nintendo claimed it was 5 games as they included the Wind Waker demo.

As for getting a job at Gamestation - make sure it is temporary - you wouldn't want to get stuck with them...

Gamestation staff always seem pretty good.

I remember when I used to trade in my N64 games, the lady used to give me more because they were in good condition
