EBGames has it's own site, you get there via the Gamestop site however. Oh and I wouldn't say Gamestop is the same even though it's from the same company, it has different, better policies and deals like 7 day guarantee you'll like the game otherwise you can get 100% cash back even if the game is opened.

They have never offered this to me before. O_o It even says on my receipt that they only exchange for the exact same game if it's been opened.

Not here, in and around Brisbane at least. Here they offer the guarantee you like the game. I'm not 100% sure if all states do it. Also you're not in Australia so I don't think you have EBGames? You only have Failstop crap near you.

I love that the American company has notably better service in Australia

Hm...No, we have them here. I was there not too long ago. I don't live in the US, though. I live just above them in Canada. :3

But to keep this somewhat on topic, the bundle still hasn't shown up on Amazon.ca, so I'm getting the feeling it won't be or they're going to be very late getting it up there. I'd easily cancel at EB and go with them if I could get a cheaper price, even if I have to wait an extra day or two. (But it will mean free shipping for me. )

I think I have the same deal as well. All though, I'm really, really positive that I won't need that deal when it comes to Zelda.

Whoops scrap that - I asked my sister (who works at EB) if the deal was true she said it isn't.

Oh and I wouldn't say Gamestop is the same even though it's from the same company, it has different, better policies and deals like 7 day guarantee you'll like the game otherwise you can get 100% cash back even if the game is opened. (Excludes games that require micro transactions like MMORPGS and online activation, so mostly only console games benefit from this deal)

The one time I was offered this deal, they said it only applied to used games. Which makes sense. A game drops in value the moment it is removed from the packaging, but a used game doesn't fluctuate wildly in price unless it becomes... you know... thrashed. So accepting a return isn't as much of a risk to them as they can just resell it for (probably) the same price.

However, I also seem to recall that they only offered exchanges on used games, not cash back. This was awhile ago, though, so if that isn't the current policy, it most likely changed in the last couple of years. But I've been in Gamestops often enough that I'm pretty sure I didn't mishear. It's just that I don't usually buy used games there, as much as they'd like me to.


...Anyway, the don't-like-the-game refund/exchange offer is a moot point in this case, because I've never wanted to return a Zelda game.

Anyway, it shouldn't really matter that you live in America, the stores over here follow the same policy, I mean, it's run by the same people anyway.

No, it often matters greatly which country a store is located in.

Different national branches of a company try to cater their services to the local people. The different branches are NOT necessarily run by the same people, because they divide up the regions and have different headquarters for different regions. The people at the top can only make broad changes and can't tell individual branch managers how to run every single little thing. Also, laws vary in different countries, which affects businesses in lots of subtle ways. A policy that is standard in one country may be illegal in another.

So really, I would never assume that a business works the same in one country as it does in another. I have even seen businesses that differ greatly from one state to the next, all within the U.S.

I bet it's fun talking about how game shops suck but let's discuss the actual topic again, shall we? :3
I found this Fan-Made Trailer and thought it was kind of cool. Does anyone have a Link for a decently editet Video that features scenes we've seen in the official videos of SS? I like to watch these kinda vids.

Also, my current desktop wallpaper.

And you might find that this Gameplay Video is rather nice, eventhough it does not show much that hasn't been in the english Gameplay videos. After about 2-3 minutes you can watch the full E3 demo without annyoing commentary.

That's pretty neat, though I'm a bit picky; some spots could have been made to match the music slightly better. As far as desktop backgrounds, I set this as the background on this computer's guest account. Only... said guest account hasn't been used in ages and probably won't be again. lol

[Sheik]

Notice how it makes a metallic "cling!" when Link hits Girahim and how he refers to Link as a "soft boy"? He may be of Phi's kind after all. Probably also a sword (Gilded Sword as has been mentioned several times)? A rather interesting character, me likes.

[The Satellite]

I'm wondering myself. I still don't see how he can be connected to the Gilded Sword for in-game purposes, but whatever, we'll see soon enough. He does seem like he has potential to be a good, creepy villain. Let's hope Nintendo delivers.

Also in that video... pause at 2:54. Those two figures... The guy on the left looks like King Hyrule from WW, the guy on the right looks like Renado from TP. And I'm trying to place who the three other guys racing with Link have resemblances to. The short one with dark hair reminds me of Malo from TP for some reason... The face, I think. The others, I'm having some difficulty placing resemblances to. Unless they have no resemblances.

I was really confused at first because I thought the giant tree had a face...Evolution of the Great Deku Tree?

[Sheik]

Well, Girahim came first chronologically and the Gilded Sword from MM may simply be a weapon designed after the "original" Gilded Sword which Girahim might be.

Edit: Edited out stuff.

Personally I don't buy the whole 'Girahim is the gilded sword or related to it.' thing. The gilded sword was just a sword upgrade with no back story or anything. It was just a sword a guy forged for you. Aside from the diamond patterns, I don't see any other resemblance, which makes me not believe the theory even more. And that's just it; it's only a pattern similar to what's called the Harlequin pattern, and the fact that two things use it in the same franchise wouldn't make me associate them.

Now, if it was a more distinct symbol on both, then I'd be more willing to say 'okay, this is possible'. But just a series of diamonds isn't all that unique or distinct for me to say 'well, there's definitely something up here' Though what if he were wielding a sword very similar to it...

The game isn't out yet so we don't even have the whole story, so I'm not saying it's not possible, but with what we've been given so far, I don't think it's the case.

Speaking of fan trailers, who wants to watch the best video ever.



I will post this at every opportunity I am given.

Edit: Edited out stuff.

May I remind you that the Gilded Sword doesn't exist until the blacksmith modifies Link's current sword?
It's not an item that existed before Ocarina of Time. Now the DESIGN may in some way be symbolic
of Ghirahim.

EDIT: My bad. You didn't say that the MM sword was the original "Ghirahim Gilded Sword" (GGS)

Still, for this to be connected to MM, information regarding Ghirahim (or the GGS) would have to reach Termina.
And as far as we know, only the Skull Kid and those connected to him (Link and Happy Mask Salesman)
have entered Termina from the world of Hyrule.

Hey, it's September already! We don't have long to wait now!
