FREE TOT(not WAREZ)

[tonic]

Here is the main part of QXL's email reply dated 24 July:

"I am afraid that it seems that you forgot to insert the promotional code on your registration form.

I am sorry to hear that you did not select the free gift promotion code when you registered with us at QXL.com.

As you have mistakenly omitted the software title of your choice please let us know if you would prefer us to send you a copy of the game "Team Apache" as an alternative."

-----
I couldn't recall seeing a field in the form for specifying the game package (I had clicked the ToT link to register}. What are other's experience on spec detail?

I suppose one can conclude that either they have very few copies ToT or they only have Apache (cynical )or else the demand for ToT had exceeded the supply?

The area on the form to place the promotional number code is easy to miss. You really have to look/hunt for it.

Nothing ventured nothing lost.Some of the .com money has dried up recently so I would not be surprised if substitutions are made.Pretty common in free offers actually.
Or you get nothing at all.

Oh well,at least somebody got something for nothing

Not me though.Wrong platform here.MAC

Mine arrived yesterday morning - naked CD in a 'jiffy envelope' so the P&P is fairly minimal - I registered a couple of days after Smash's post so I guess it has taken about 4 weeks (and I am a UK resident)
I agree that the slot in which to indicate your preference is far from obvious - maybe if you e-mail back and say that you really want ToT you will get it - at least here in the UK Team Apache is a more expensive game than ToT so perhaps they think they are doing you a favour?????

I`ve done it! I`ve registered and asked for TOT, how long is it going to take? , what will i get? e.t.c

[tonic]

Will take SG(1)'s words to heart and try again paying attention to the small field for the game code preference.

It's heartening to hear the UK folks are getting their CDs, basic packaging notwithstanding.

Yes it is.I think I will go back to that auction site and click a few banners.

[Xuenay]

Okay, I registered... Now I'll just wait.

[CapTVK]

Well 6 weeks now and still nothing. Has anyone outside of the UK received a copy of ToT?

[CornMaster]

I still haven't got mine yet either. 6 weeks of waiting!!

But give it another 2 or 3 weeks. The mail is slow!!!

Nothing for me yet - I registered June 30th. Is this offer good outside of the UK? Has anyone received a copy of TOT who lives outside of the UK?

I registered today... Let's see if this works now.

[Provost Harrison]

BTW I forgot to mention it arrived a few weeks ago . So it certainly does get sent to people in the UK. So it's tough titty for all you Johnny Foreigners

[Tom DeMille]

I missed Smash's original post (I was on vacation), but have now signed up. I don't expect to actually receive the game, but it will come as a pleasant surprise if I do.
