[T]

Help please.

Has anyone ordered and recieved this DVD?

I actually messed up and ordered 2 copies but have not
recieved them or heard from anyone

I did contact Joe and he forwarded it to Zach Meston but I
have heard nothing from him

whats the deal?

I ordered one and haven't received it yet, but I'm not concerned. CGE wasn't that long ago, and it's a MAJOR task to edit video, plus I know a LOT of video was shot at the show that now must be sorted through and edited. I'm sure Zach has his hands full with it right now, and that it's just a matter of time before the DVD materializes.

Thanks for reminding me!

I'm waiting too. I'm sure all of us are who have ordered. I wouldn't worry too much yet.

First, the bad news: despite my best promotional efforts, I didn't receive anywhere near enough pre-orders to cover the production costs of the originally planned two-DVD set. The project is going to lose a considerable amount of money as is, and going ahead with the double-DVD plan would have driven me into insolvency.

Now, the good news: in the first week of October, I'll be shipping a single-disc Collector's Edition DVD, and I'm only charging $8.99 plus shipping. Anyone who pre-ordered the Collector's Edition DVD at its original $19.99/$24.99 price will automatically receive a partial refund via PayPal.

Here's what's on the final cut of the DVD:

The Show: Dozens of pictures and approximately fifteen minutes of video of the exhibit hall, along with a slideshow of the CGE24K program.

The Museum: Dozens of pictures and approximately five minutes of video of the Museum, including a non-stop walkthrough.

The Alumni: Dozens of pictures and approximately 90 minutes of video of the various panels and keynotes, along with detailed alumni biographies.

The Auction: Dozens of pictures and approximately five minutes of sweet, sweet Janice footage.

DVD-ROM Content: Complete MP3s of every CGE2K4 panel and keynote, and Nolan Bushnell's CGE2K3 keynote, and a selection of panels and keynotes from CGE2K2. Vintage alumni interviews conducted by Digital Press. Trial versions of two PC games from CGE alumnus Steve Woita. PDF samples of Classic Gamer Magazine and Digital Press. And anything else I can fit on there.

If you're not interested in the single-disc Collector's Edition DVD, email me at zmeston@direcway.com and you'll receive a complete refund ASAP. Otherwise, you'll receive your partial refund later this week, and your DVD in the first week of October.

Thank you very much for your patience and understanding. Rest assured the final product will be worth the wait (and the nine bucks).
