Hi, Doreen!

I also could not believe what "Her Interactive" charges to ship games to Canada because Dave at Interact only charged $4.95. Since the Canadian dollar is low at the moment, it will cost more than $31 after the bank charges 2.5% to convert from US to Canadian dollars.

I'm going to wait and see if Amazon.ca has the game and, if not, I guess I'll have to miss out on this one. If I couldn't find a game here in Canada, I'd always order from Dave at Interact. Sadly, that option is no longer available.

There is always the download option available from Her Interactive if the shipping costs are prohibitive for the boxed version, although I know that there are some who would prefer to have the box and the DVD.

Hi, Marian!

I am one of those who prefers the box and DVD so I'll have something to throw out whenever I de-clutter 10 years later ! HOWEVER, a box and DVD are not worth an extra $12, which is what it would work out to when you factor in the US exchange rate and 2.5% the bank takes for the conversion. Amazon.ca usually eventually gets all of the Nancy Drew games, so I think I'll wait and order from them. If I add something else to my order to bring the total up to $25, I'll get free shipping.

Susan

That all makes sense, Susan.

Susie, you'll have to make sure all items you order from amazon is listed as eligible for the super saver shipping (not everything is), and if you prefer the deluxe/bonus edition of the game, you won't get that on Amazon, unfortunately.

Hi, NDLVR!

Thanks for the heads up. So far, I have never purchased anything from Amazon that hasn't qualified for free shipping, but I'll be sure to keep my eyes open.

Susan

i have to repreorder, the new lady mess up my order.

I'm sorry to hear that, family. There should still be plenty of time to get things straightened out before preorders start shipping, I would think.

i just have to send them another check, we put the wronge name on the check, and they are going to mail a order form self stamp return envelpoe, so i just waiting for the post person to deliver it.

Got an email from Her Interactive saying that quantities are running low for the preorder Bonus Edition for Ghost of Thornton Hall. So, if anyone is still thinking about placing an order, I would recommend doing it sooner rather than later.

Thanks Marian!

The boxed Bonus Edition of Ghost of Thornton Hall is now sold out.

I just saw that! I wonder if they are printing less?

It would be interesting to know how many Bonus Edition games they had in stock when the preorders started.

just to let you know, i got my ok to download this game.

kathy

k28d13j11,Did you get the game or just get the Ghost of Thornton Hall Strategy Guide. I got the same but no game to download. May 7 is the download date.
Richard

I see they announced that they were giving out the strategy guide downloads now, not the game.

I am sorry, I was wrong. it is for the stategy guide..

kathy

No problem kathy. Did you peek at the Strategy guide?

preorders from her interactive are shipping, that what they said on the board.

hello,
no I didn't I have to download it. they said it will take a few hours to download. will gameboomers have a walkthrough.

kathy

My game has shipped and I have also downloaded the digital strategy guide (and I am not going to look at it before I play the game, tempting as that is).

Kathy,

Once those who preordered starts to play (and those with strategy guides) - there will be lots of gamers to help you at Hints forum.

I don't know when my game will arrive to play for a wt.

I've never gotten through a single Nancy Drew game without help, and I always play at the Junior level of difficulty.

gth hints boards and game reviews are up and i am waiting , i got the 5-7 day , $25 for overnight, $10 for 3 days, $7 for 5-7 was the right price for me, and the guide.
