vogelap Posted November 20, 2001 Report Posted November 20, 2001 Woo hoo! Got mine today as well. Congratulations to Derek and the team for getting this out!It looks good -- the keyboard template, the sleek 76 page (!?!) manual, and the CD... I only wish that the CD was in a real Jewel Case, since I've got to rip my registration code to get the envelope open. Other than that, it looks awesome and I cannot wait to get home late tonight to play it some!
modarken Posted November 20, 2001 Report Posted November 20, 2001 lol great pic, lucky dude already has it!
Supreme Cmdr Posted November 20, 2001 Report Posted November 20, 2001 Yeah, EB told me that the fulfillment center plastered the serial number across the flap. I've already told them about it, so they will be careful with the next production run.As for the jewel case - putting in one would not have allowed the shrink wrapped version to be possible since the case would be too thick to fit in the manual. I'm sure you can find a jewel case somewhere. Then, just cut out the reg number and tape it to the case.
Soback Posted November 21, 2001 Report Posted November 21, 2001 What in the world is a shrink wrapped version? Is it when the manual and the cd supposed to be covered in this clear shrinkn wraped plastic or what?
TARWMSRK Posted November 21, 2001 Report Posted November 21, 2001 More like the cd is in a small plastic pouch glued to the book.. That and the reg code is the seal to opening the pouch so write it down somewhere before you rip it!!
Supreme Cmdr Posted November 21, 2001 Report Posted November 21, 2001 A shrink wrap unit is for the Beta testers and those who order units via BMT Micro (not the boxed version). The keyboard and CDROM (in a Tyvex sleeve) are in the middle of the manual. The manual is then shrink wrapped (you DO know what that is, right?). The end result is a nice neat package without a bulky box.The units in the box are not shrink wrapped. The items are in the manual however and that it then placed inside the box.
Soback Posted November 21, 2001 Report Posted November 21, 2001 AAAAhhh, now it's all clear. Oh man, you don't even know how I imagined how it all should have been wrapped in the box.
