tradition.
*An awesome sticker sheet is included, so you may have the chance to win
our contest if you order quickly (please see on our homepage:

Anyone else REALLY irritated that their 2+ year wait for the 1st print hasn't shown up yet and there's ALREADY a "reprint" edition being made available?

[duo_r]

That is a bummer guys, are they responding to your emails?

Not much. Ordering from places like DealExtreme helps me create a "patience" barrier that can last a very long time.

Besides, we've waiting so long for it to arrive, so a few extra days won't hurt.

First print is shipped, second won't be until February.

I really was hoping for another reprint with the Sega/Mega CD audio disc, is there a chance we might see another run of them?

[Lanzo]

Man, I still have not received my copy yet and I'm getting nervous. And as far as the reprint I've heard there will not be a disc with it but probably someone will put up there copy for download to burn your own copy.

[sheath]

I don't want to put CDRs in my Sega CD. Are the original soundtrack CDs pressed or burned?

[xfrumx]

Just preordered the second print version that comes in classic black grid genesis packaging.

I wish it came with a cd but oh well, I really want to play this game.

No, there isn't.

[Battlesmurf]

Man, I am actually pretty sad. I was 100% certain I pre-ordered whatever the highest end version of the game was. I am not sure how I goofed up. I pre-ordered on Oct 12 2008, too (the deadline for P/Oing the posterity edition was the end of that month). The info on the net is spotty- but the posterity edition had extra stuff that I am actually pretty sad I am missing out on

[YoshiM]

Too bad I missed on the CD but due to past "burns" with buying retro games/items I was very nervous to pull the trigger.

Bought the reprint and I can't wait to play it!

[rolenta]

Well, another day and it hasn't arrived

[Iron Draggon]

On Dec 13th, I was supposed to receive my preorder copy of Pier Solar within the next 20 days. Well the next 20 days have come and gone, and I still haven't received it yet, so where is it and what's the excuse for the delay now? The wait for this game is beyond ridiculous. Duke Nukem Forever will be on store shelves before I ever receive my preorder copy of Pier Solar in the mail!

YES, I AM! And I'm sure as hell in no hurry to order a copy of the reprint version until I finally get my friggin' preorder version in the mail! I'M OVER WAITING FOR IT!

try getting a hold of the developers here for your questions http://www.piersolar.com
I have yet to receive my copy as well.

[Cornelius]

Haven't gotten mine. Has anyone besides shadowkn?

[Lanzo]

I still have not received mine in Ohio. It's really just luck on when you get it. I believe someone on the forums over at pier solar have some sort of tracking codes however they are useless unless you are part of the chinese post. After everything is done they will begin to track them if noone has theirs.

[mobiusclimber]

Don't have mine yet. I really hope it arrives when I'm (or someone) is home to accept it.

I am as well. I am begginning to wonder if this "reprint" sale is nothing more than a way to generate cash for producing and/or shipping our pre-orders, sort of like a pyramid/ponzi scheme.

Ship our orders out before you start offering more!

And they expect us to get excited over their next yet to be announced project?

It's probably not so bad that you missed out, it seems some people are having problems with the official CD and team members are suggesting that people copy them to CD-Rs so they'll play better. It's supposedly a problem with disc drives starting to fail, but I can't understand why CD-Rs would work better than a pressed disc.

I'm still looking forward to this but a part of me expects the shipping box to arrive with nothing but a musical greeting card that plays Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up.
