The disc will have:
1. A preview movie of Pokemon Colosseum.
2. Ability to upload Jirachi to Ruby/Sapphire. (This also fixes the calendar bug.) <-I wonder if there will be unlimited transfers.
3. Preview of new Pokemon movie.
I'm tempted to get this just for the Jirachi transfer feature.

QuoteI doubt it; probably only one per GBA file.

QuoteNow if they'd only get the hang of spelling "coliseum" (unless, of course, the game takes place in the Colosseum in Rome).
Nintendo really is getting the hang of these pre order bonus deals.

While these pre-order promotions are pretty cool they're making it hard to resist pre-ordering a game. Now obviously that's the whole point it's just that I usually like to read reviews before buying a game and I can't do that if I pre-order. A once in a while promotion is cool but I don't want to feel I need to pre-order every game Nintendo makes or miss out on something major.

I agree with Ian too, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow and accept things that way they are done.

Your personal opinion. However, the game is consider as an RPG and a great one at it. Yeah, the battle system isn't as deep as Final Fastasy but the pokemon collection part is far off in its own style. If you considered Pokemon being old then perhaps, Final Fastasy and the industry shouldn't even be twitching right now. As far as I know, the battle system for Ruby has improved dramatically over its predecessor with 2 pokemons at a time battle. I wouldn't be surprise if, in the future, the battle system contains 4 to 5 pokemons at a time. This is how I see it; the future looks bright, it doesn't look dim. Don't buy into the hype (like this one) buy into the game.

In Sapphire, I remember the first 2 vs. 2 battle in which I KOed my own electric type by having its partner use earthquake. I was suprised, then angry for three seconds, then I burst out laughing because it actually makes perfect sense.
Anywho, Pokemon is another game that is the epitome of the Nintendo formula- easy to pick up, hard to master. Honestly Black_Lable (if you haven't left for good), you should give it another honest try. I know especially, if you lived in the States, they over-hyped and over-merchandised the first games (which actually made me sick) but they stopped that and the games have even gotten better.

Jirachi is pretty cool, and it comes with some weird berry that increases Speed occasionally. The original trainer was "WISHMKR"... cute. It also showed a communicating with the Gamecube screen I never knew about. I just thought it was nifty. I hope Nintendo puts in more special Pokemon like this in their bonus discs... we still don't have Mew or Celebi on our R/S carts....
The movie preview was standard stuff (explosions while Ash and company ran around shouting, though it does look a bit darker than usual; this one better be in frickin widescreen) and the Colosseum preview was a lot better than the one on the Mario Kart bonus disc. I'd say it was about four or five minutes long, while a narrator explained the new features of the game.
Not bad for a freebie, but it coulda been so much more.
