Canada not getting bonus material

[NefariousKoel]

Bottom line...

Most don't like Canadians. Especially Canadians harboring French Canadians. You people need to rid yourself of those. :rotfl:

Deadeye acquitted us quite well. Militarily Canada has been and still is quite remarkable given our small size. Bother the French and Brits tried to take Vimy Ridge (at the time the most heavily defended point on the Western fron) but only the Candadians could do it, the first time, AND with incredibly few losses by WW1 standards. WW2 we were all over that Navy business and we trained like 3/4 of the Allied air force (including tons of Americans). We had splendid land soldiers too. Much of Caen was bought with Canadian blood. I could go on and be verbose or just take a swipe at the US for not joining the war sooner (classic Canadian retort) but instead I'll just be proud of my nation and leave it at that.

I think that we in Canada repeatedly get the raw deal economically. Hell has anyone checked the exchange rate lately? The Canadian Dollar is worth around 85 cents American. So why is everything nearly twice as much as it is in the US? Free Trade is a joke. Its more like Free Trade for the US if they feel like it. Hell Mexico has a better NAFTA agreement than we do. Thank you very much Mr. Mulroney.

BAH! I guess I'll be buying this baby online probably.... eventually.:hmm:

EDIT. Oh yea and remember 1812? We so kicked America'a ass (technically the Brits did cause we were still a colony but still).

heh I am british, it was joke

[Gunner]

Some of you mates are turn'n this into a political agenda, yer miss'n the point. Ubisoft promised same packaging for the U.S. and Canada,

[Cakewalk]

An' they failed to deliver.

I was waiting for the game since August, I really want to get it now, but seeing this, it might make me wait a few days to order it online instead...

Then again, I want to play it TOMMOROW, I guess I'll just buy it and bug Ubi about it.

HAHAHAHA. Maybe you ought to make that clear on your info sheet.
And I was joking too (like that nod to the brits over 1812).

But even if you're British... NAH NAH NAH! You couldn't take VIMY! Okay, last one.

Well it isn't entirely un-political. In fact everythings political. Most politics are about economics and selling games is just another exercise is the economic process. And when Canada gets screwed for no apparent reason you gotta wonder why. So close to the US but with such drastic differences in so many things... something is up. That and we love to b1tch.

But this whole Canada thing is just another chapter in this fiasco of a release.

Yes, I imagine that is what they'll probably say, although the few games I have bought over the last few years didn't include a part French language manual. Maybe some new legislation I am forgetting at the moment?

Anyway, that is not the worst problem of course - the worst problem is that Canadians are not getting the promised bonus materials, which are available to Americans even as we speak.

Relax. The bonus is utter junk. You get a sewon-badge. Yippie. You get a sound track disc. As if you aren't going to be listening to it quite enough in-game. You get a completely useless recognition manual, where the retards decided to print useless 3d-renderings of the ships, making the manual hardly worth the paper printed on.

Just get the vanilla version.

Guys, here's what i posted on the SH4 Ubi forum.

First post: http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...5/m/8571036345

That's describing our frustration i guess

Second post that i replied to:http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/t...5/m/7631078345

I will keep you posted too in here as soon that i get any developement.

[AG124]

I already have the vanilla version. Thanks for the advice, but I still want the recognition poster and the map, partially because of the principle though.

EDIT - @ Souleech; thanks. If I get any news on this, I will post it as well.

I just received an answer from AudibleKnight on the SH4 Ubi forum.

Here's what he said:

Hello, I read your post, and you definitely have the right to be frustrated. At the time I posted, I was told that the limited time edition would be available in both the US and Canada.

We have received other reports from Canadian members reporting the same problem. Rest assured that we're investigating the issue, and I'll post again when I have more information. I apologize for this frustrating situation, and thank you for your patience.

Here's the link to the thread itself:

nice, I was pissed when i didn't get the map.

I just wanted to see the DVD assuming it was a documentary on the making of the game and the WWII history of the period.

When I pre-ordered at EB they ONLY had the plain version, no option to buy the "collectable" version. (they will with console games though)

I have had this before, like when Company of Heroes came out WITH a t-shirt...unless you are in Canada. So this has happened before.

Oh well, I really like the game but I need a card with all the button mapping on it like in SH3...that was in color too!!!

Cheers everyone.

Just purchased the game a few hours ago at Best Buy here in Ottawa, and as expected, no bonus material. Will send a respectful email to Ubisoft, but all in all I'm just glad I have the game.

By the way, if one wanted to send an e-mail to Ubisoft concerning this, which e-mail address should be used? The Webmaster one?

EDIT: nvm, I just used the "Ask a question" feature on their support site.

[John Channing]

I did exactly the same thing yesterday at this time. I then received an e-mail assuring me that I would receive a "response from us within the next business day"

24 hours later I still have not received n response. But no problem. I used the opportunity to update my question and attach a copy of their webite where they commit to supplying the bonus material to Canadians... just in case someone there is thinking of doing something silly.

heeheeheee.
