    actually, i posted this as eb in liffey valley had all the boxes out front and when i went to buy it they were all pre order boxes.
    yes it comes in trendy blank, but it also comes in virginal white as well.
    there were no prices on it thou smile.gif

    so there you have it, black and white:black or white?
    the choice cilla, is yours....

    I think that fiver to charity thing was scrapped a long time ago. The logistics are apparently too much or something.

    I'm not going to get to play b&w for ages - ****in finals. I've been waiting 3 years, whats another 2 months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB

    Does anyone know if the rumour I heard about a free mission disc if it is preordered from certain shops(EB,Game) true?

    I doubt it tho, cos I heard it from the most unreliable peson I ever met.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,237 ✭✭✭Coyote


    it's true if you pre order you get a creaters disk wiht more of them to play wiht
    but as with every thing in life you can get
    from other places

    With regards to the Online monitoring, just saw this on blackandwhite.com:
    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">
    About Black & White and Spyware.

    There has been the rumour that Black & White has so called spyware, which sends information about your computer (registry details, hardware info etc.) to Lionhead/EA.

    This is wrong.

    Black & White uses a mechanism for its built in messaging system to tell the server if you're online or not and ready for receiving messages from other friends online. The information sent is even too small to fit my full name into it.

    We are not spying on your system!

    For the people who are concerned about their privacy and security: If you connect with a normal web browser to a web site, much, much more information (your IP, your operating oystem, your web browser, the site you came from, etc.) is stored on every web server on the Internet.

    So, be more concerned that if you have downloaded illegal software from web sites, the site operator has stored far more information about who you are and where you came from, than Black & White ever does. Suffice to say, if you playing an illegal copy of Black & White, the program is self-aware, so if you encounter problems with it, then maybe you should buy a proper version.

    Also, there are some extra creatures from lionhead you can download online already.

    I have to say this game rocks. Never thought it'd be so much fun spanking that giant monkey!! smile.gif Will be buying a copy when it comes out to give Lionhead my support.

    Spent the last 2 hours playing it (who would of thought that pre-booking it last sunday would have worked smile.gif) and i must say first impressions are good. Its quite entertaining trying to choose which of the initial 3 animals to go for. Naturally of course i went for the cow. Especially satisfying was one of the side missions involves a quasi-pied piper who takes all the villages kids and its your job to get them back (or not). so when i caught up with him, instead of having him show me the kids i just told my creature to eat him. Mwahahahahahaha, I am a GOD

    Just hope the game doesnt go downhill from here
