Yeah, the Ocrinia of Time disk only supports 60Hz (NTSC) compatible tv's, so little portables are out of the question.
The demos on the CD are pretty good, Wario World looks good and F-Zero GC is bloody amazing! 1080o Avalanche also looks like a must buy. Shame they didn't include the intro demo to Soul Calibur II, what with Link being in it.
PS. For the record I go to sleep just after 1 this morning And there's a poster in the village you start in that says "Don't stay up all night playing"

I know it was the first 100,000 units produced in Japan, but not
sure of the quantities for the rest of the world. Read some figure somewhere that I can't find again saying 40,000 for the UK.
The box between normal and limited is identical, just that the limited one has a different cover insert and a second cd caddy in the middle (like in the GC Resident Evil games), so it's just as easy yo change them between the standard and limited edition packaging
It's no great loss if you don't get it, just go and buy a second hand N64 and the game for about £40

Ordered it online from Game last month.
Just spent 2 hours solid on it , wow it's addictive!
All preorders from Game will get the limited edition with the Ocarina of Time bonus disk according to their website.
The bonus disk is 60hz TV support only

Mine limited edition is on its way from amazon.co.uk
Ordered a month or so ago too.
Hope it arrives tomorrow!

PS: There's a rumour going around that some PAL tv's are experiencing difficulties playing some of the limited edition stuff like Ocarina.

Guys,

This limited edition disk that comes with it.. I find it hard to believe it won't be standard with all copies of the game, whether pre-ordered or not.. anyone confirm either way?

It just strikes me as a bit unlikely that the N64 Zelda is ported by Nintendo and then only shipped if pre-ordered...

Anyway - damn, didn't order it, and won't be buying it until I've bought a sofa, power tools, furniture, paint, laminate flooring etc... oh nuts!

Ah, well if there are 40,000 for the UK, that means every Gamecube owner is gonna get the limited version!

Might have been for Europe then, I can't find the website that had it on, I'll try and dig it out.
It definatly is in limited numbers though, Game was reporting that all preorders and reserved copies amount to around 98% of the batch they've been given, and predict a release day sellout of all copies of Zelda.

Just found it in Official Nintendo Magazine.
The first batch of games to every territory (US, Europe, Japan) are all limited edition paks, then it's normal 1 CD after that.

DrEvil

Well, if anyone has a limited edition version they want to get rid of come end of May, give me a shout!
