"Anyone Else Received A Little Blue Book From Sony ?"

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 dont even know what it is. well i am not that bothered, it wont mean diddily when u get the console

if it worries you that much you can have mine! :-)

i ended up pre-ordering pretty late i knwo this will affect when i get my PS2 but will i still get a blue book?

My "Blue Book" hasn't arrived yet either Damo, so i phoned the helpline to enquire. They told me that the packages have not been sent out in any order, and that everyone who has pre-ordered SHOULD receive one in due course.

It had better be on my door mat in the morning or the postman gets it..................!

Do you think a blue book makes all the difference?

Oh, you do.

Ok.

Sorry.

I havent got my blue book yet!!! Maybe its been lost in the post!!! Help, I pre-ordered on September 7th and I think Im not going to get one on Nov 24th because I didnt get a blue book! Reassure me please!!

I received my Blue Book on Saturday and I agree that it is just a publicity thing and a bonus to make us pre-order folk feel special. I thought it was a nice gesture by Sony but I think it would have been sensible to remove 'Munchs Odyssey' as it is no longer going to appear on the PS2.

Oh well I suppose it probably wasnt worth wasting the money reprinting all the booklets. This could be a collectors item one day as if they print anymore I would imagine that they will take the reference to 'Munchs Odyssey' out.

By the way I spoke to Sony UK the other day and they assure me that:

"The letters notifying of collection dates will begin to be dispatched in approximately a week. This will depend on when you placed your pre-order."

They seem to be leaving it right to the wire but who cares as long as I get my PS2 on the 24th.

Do you think that the books are being sent in the same order as the confirmation letters will? I noticed an order number on the letter with the book.

I dont see Sony delaying the PS2 any longer. The bbok is just a publicity thing to whet your appetite for the PS2. Theu know that the people who have pre-ordered are dedicated gamers and so they are simply giving them the info they want.
I liked it!

I want the blue book too, but I really want the confirmation letter, my post has been really unreliable and I hope that I get it soon!!!

I want the blue book!!!!
