Hopefully a decent retailer like Amazon will get to offer it as a pre-order bonus instead.Eurogamer said:UPDATE: UK retailer GAME has said it will not stock the previously-announced Zelda: A Link Between Worlds pre-order bonus.
In an odd turn of events, the chain has admitted via its official Twitter that the musical treasure chest item revealed yesterday will not be available.
"You may have seen last night @NintendoUK tweeted about a pre-order chest item for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds," GAME wrote. "We have no pre-order bonus to announce but BUT you can be sure we're working with Din, Nayru & Farore to bring you something special..."
Din, Nayru and Farore being goddesses within the Zelda series, of course. The retailer continued: "Until then, feast your eyes on this special LoZ: A Link Between Worlds #3DSXL available to pre-order tomorrow!"
We've reached out to Nintendo UK to find out what went wrong - and whether there'll be any other way to get hold of the Zelda treasure chest loot. The company's original announcement of the offer is still online.
So has anyone else noticed the Eurogamer story update?

UK only?
ARGHLHR!
Watch it be Nintendo UK online store (run by the hut group*, has wrong images for products**, will charge £39.99).So has anyone else noticed the Eurogamer story update?

Prove to me that the average selling price of Zelda A link between worlds is £25?Thank god, GAME are terrible and you'd be paying £10 over the average selling price for that musical chest.

Show me a GAME store in the country that's not selling Zelda at £39.99 at launch day and I'll give you a cookie.Prove to me that the average selling price of Zelda A link between worlds is £25?

Why would you buy it in store when you can buy it online for £35 (if you really must have it from game) and have a pretty good chance of getting it a day or two early?
Not what I said.
GAME said:We have no pre-order bonus to announce but BUT you can be sure we're working with Din, Nayru & Farore to bring you something special
Does that mean they're getting something else?
So if not for GAME, does that mean there's a chance at a NA release of this?
Fuuuuu- i had a preorder with game.co.uk since 9-9 for 34euros. Now I am thinking of cancelling and getting it from our local distributor which they have the chest. 50euros though;(
Dat 50% chest tax
Hmmm... and GAME have changed the box art on the product's page as well so I guess that's that.
Maybe all my letters to Shibata about how terrible GAME are finally got through to him.

Probably thinking about the Tesco Wii U thing.I strolled into game this morning to ask about the chest and was told:
"we aren't getting the chest-Nintendo seem to be in bed with the big supermarket chains so they will probably be doing it"
Go figure.
Awesome, but not £39.99 giving money to an awful, awful company awesome.
Lol indeed. £39.99 is ridiculous.
Probably thinking about the Tesco Wii U thing.
Nintendo is desperate to keep their stock on the shelves of the supermarkets. Meanwhile GAME is desperate for Nintendo stock end of. It makes sense for Nintendo...
I don't honestly see Tesco getting the chest either. I can see NOE doing first 20 people to register the game on Club Nintendo get it.
Because Tescow has it for £32. GAME are a rippoff that should have stayed dead. Amazone.co.uk has it for £35....hell even LAME.co.uk has it for £35.Why is it ridiculous? You get a fully fledged Zelda title, those things are always worth high prices and 40 is a normal price. You pay more for shitty "AAA" games an they're almost never anything special.
If it weighs less than 1kg then it is £2.95 shipping (regardless of what it is from GAME).Oh god, is even worse now. 50£ and still exclusive to Game that probably would not ship (for free, at least) to Italy...
