I've pre-ordered through the poly chips&bits link, will I get the pre-order edition?

You should try mämmi...


Quite horrible, but hey, it's traditional.

good thing you reminded me, i'll notify dan so you can eat some BLACK cardbox

I think he should eat the normal box.
That's looking much better since people recognize the civ IV box. Otherwise it's just some dude eating a black bible.

c'mon, you should see this video getting spread all over the internet, seen by the crowd that doesn't know civ.

btw, did somebody already ask Firaxis if they want to sponsor poly an (empty) box to be sent to yin?

we'll make sure "civilization iv" is shown on the photos

although a "see the bible-eating-man video" headline sounds good as well

we didnt include them in the fun raising as we wouldnt want them to be blamed for anything that might happen to yin

great!
thanks markos!!

i've written and asked if they can make it possible.
if my request succeeds, you should try to get a link to them so ACS gets some funding (like with amazon.com).
in fact, it would be good anyhow. i pretty often order stuff from amazon.co.uk and if i've got the poly-referer, some cents might flow

[MarkG]

thank you, the link to amazon uk is already on our civ4 section

Hmm nothing yet about the pre-sell edition on Amazon.ca.....

You'd think that we would have it on there too, since US and Canada pretty much share release dates.

[MarkG]

according to today's info release from firaxis, only EB has the special edition for Canada

[Melloj]

shucks, had a gift certificate for amazon....

btw is that a public notice viewable anywhere on the net?

Thanks

[MarkG]

yes on http://www.civiv.com/
click on "preorder"

[MarkG]

Presell? Is that anything like a pretzel?

[Tattila the Hun]

Gah, Secret Service will stomp them...
