It's judgement day for Zelda collectors as Zelda is released today (or is it tommorow?). Now, instead of reserving the game in advance and getting it today, my mum's got to rush to the nearest shopping centre (which is 15 miles away), visit every shop that sells games, and try to track down a copy with the bonus disks.

Is anyone else in my situation or has everyone done the smart thing and reserved the game?

Well, you were proven wrong there weren't you Edgy?!! LOL! Games don't sell out on launch day/weekend any more these days. Enough copies are made for all who want them. The pre-order-hype bandwagon went past long ago. Clearly you are still sitting on the carriadge!!

Not totally true. I mum managed to pick up a copy at HMV with the bonus disks today and she said there was loads of copies left.

I think you should find a copy.

I went to my local Gamestation and they still had some. That was this morning, they may all be gone now.

Every copy at the moment shall have the bonus discs as Nintendo are only shipping them with them.

However, the likelyhood of anyone getting a copy of Zelda on the day of release without pre-ordering it is very low indeed.
