A lot people are saying they got ZeldaOOT already... which means stores are breaking street-date release
which is totally not fair since they are going to have a head-start in the game and of course be ready to register the game for
the soundtrack . Have any of you guys got the game or heard about this as well???

[Someone]

It's because some people had ordered it from Amazon or any other online store, so they shipped it early to make up for the time it takes to ship it. Some get there early, though, which causes people to get it before the release date. I think Amazon thinks it's better early than late, too, since they would rather have happy customers than disappointed ones!

I don't think they can register for the soundtrack yet...
I don't know how those things work, since I live in a country without Club Nintendo...
Still is annoying that some are able to play the game earlier.

Yeah, even if they get it early, they won't be able to register it. The register won't open until 12:01 on the launch day. So everyone is still good

[SomeRandomGuy]

A few people in Europe got it early, dunno about America.

I am not sure how the register works, but I know that I (in Australia) will be getting OoT June 30.

If the prize (soundtrack) will only be available for people who got their game earlier and register it early regardless what region they are,then it's not fair. If that's the case then for Australian gamers, don't even think of registering to win the soundtrack cause we got the game 2 weeks after UK/Europe and US got their game.

2 weeks is long and the soundtrack might not be available by then....

I really need to learn to pre-order from Amazon. Their customers got the 3DS early too. I heard yesterday that Club Nintendo UK is down at the moment, so the people who have it won't be able to register it at the moment. I don't mean to sound selfish, but hopefully it'll stay down until I get the game. That way I'll have a chance of getting this soundtrack.

Me too. lately i haven't been liking Game-Stop with their services. I heard a lot of people said ordering from Amazon is good and
sometimes you get better deals and nice offers. Oh wow Club Nintendo is down in UK??? wow that's really sucks a lot

Yep. This is what Nintendo have said:

I am very jealous. *sadness* at least I'll get my copy tomorrow. Or I hope so. I preordered, but GameStop never called me yesterday like they said they would 2 days in advance... I hope my preorder hasn't been deleted or something. I doubt it has, I'm just worried since I want this game so badly. xD

[Akis Hajittofi]
