Rogue Squadron 3 : Rebel Strike BONUS DISC

[K3V]

The EB Games website says the pre-order disc is shipping today, but they charge you an extra $5 for shipping and you can't cancel your pre-order. I'll probably just go down to the store and see if they have them and save the $5.

The Zelda preorder deal was great, but this one... Well, I had that vector game on my Mac Classic for years.

Anyway, are there any on-foot stages included in the Rebel Strike demo? Is it as bad as people mentioned at E3?

Oh yeah? Well I had Zelda:OOT on my N64 for years before I got my freebie preorder disc for the cube! W00T!

Sorry, K3V. I meant more than a decade.

Nintendo/Lucasarts and its fans are hyping this promotion for more than the preorder deal is worth. It's like a computer salesman saying, "If you buy a PC from us, you'll get a free handheld calculator!" Saying that the Star Wars vector game is outdated is an understatement.

maybe not as bad.. it's nothing special, though. the on-foot garbage dilutes what was already a mediocre action game. sure, it's pretty, but rs3 only makes me want a next-gen sequel to x-wing.

Reserve RS3, get your bonus disc, and then, the nex day, cancel your preorder.

they will ask for the bonus disc back





anyway we got these yesterday i was gonna make a thread about it but im too lazy


anyway yeah its just for pre-orders and the vector arcade game is very very nice

I think the 1983 Star Wars arcade game holds up incredibly well, although home versions aren't quite the same without the arcade controller.

I haven't played the Mac version but it looks like a port made from the ground up. I assume this bonus disc is actual emulation of the arcade game, so it's probably much better.

We too finally recieved these at our store today. I must say the game is amazing. Factor 5 just seems to get better and better. And why would you cancel your preorder? This is by far gonna be one of the biggest Gamecube titles this year.

The manager of my local Gamestop gave me a lightsaber keychain for preordering (they're for Jedi Knight 3) and now I'll get the demo too! w00t!

Reserve the game for $5, get the preorder disk, never pick up the game, admit that $5 for the original arcade Star Wars game is a steal and don't be a cheap bastard, that's my advice.

We got the game in too, I've got my copy in my backpack. I'll probably pick up the game when it comes in and trade it in about a week later, unless I really end up liking it. Which I might, you never know.
