Rumours are rife that Sony are sending out some booklet to all those people who pre-ordered. Stories of this "Little Blue Book" are spreading through the PS2 comunity like wild fire. Is this the same brochure that has been mentioned in an earlier post? Or is this something new?
The only concern that i have is.............why send out a brochure, and a letter explaining that the next letter you receive will be your collection notice, this late in the day?
Is this a nice gesture by Sony, giving us this booklet with reviews of all the top games at release, tech specs of the coveted console, and just about all you need to know about PS2, inside and out, or is there a more sinister reason behind this "gift".
I refer back to a post i left a while back, you know, the one about the rumoured delay, the one that even I discarded as tripe (in the end anyhow :~>). Could.......it........be........... NO it couldn't be true, no way...........they wouldn't do that, not this close to launch, it would be suicidal.
But then why send it at all. A letter that basically says the same as the first confirmation letter, this close to launch, to me it seems a bit strange, but hey, as i said earlier, it could well be just a nice gesture.
Roll on the 24th............................

I think too much is being made of dates that things have been received. I preordered on 7th Sept however my first confirmation letter is dated 12th October but my blue book letter is dated 24th October.
The only letter that matters is the collection letter and this should be based on when you preordered which is what sony has said all along.

Only just got my blue book from Sony today, the letter was dated at the 1st November, but it is still no substitute for the final confirmation letter. I pre ordered my PS2 on the 19th March from Special Reserve as you could place a deposit back then, looks like it may have paid off though!!
Got my blue book yesterday morning. Probaby unnecessary, but a nice touch, all the same.
The wording of the letter made me laugh, though.
"The next time you hear from us will be..."
Made me think of Chris Tarrant on the Millionnaire 'Phone a Friend'...
"The next voice you hear..."
Okay, maybe it's just me - but it made me chuckle at the time.
