It really is a lot of fun isn't it  Mikey (Zero) and my sister played it a few times now and it gets better each time. I love how they do the tie breakers 

We only had to do a tie breaker once, but it was pretty neat.  Except that he won the tie breaker and not me

The game has clips from each movie, but I have only seen still frames from GoF so far.  Anyoen see actualy movie clips from it yet?

Well done Mike.

As to Scene it in the UK they have got it in Argos but you can't buy it yet , they also have cells which you can't buy yet

Careful with this.  I just saw this same scene it game at Toys R Us for $34.99.  Thing is, it is not in the nice colelctor's tin, and it DOESN'T come with the 4 cards from Artbox.  That is why it is cheaper.  Probably the same game, but the one at Barnes and Noble is the collector's edition.

Can I be nosey and ask how much your one was.  And was it a Barnes and Noble special edition.  I hope not as I have never heard of them and don't think we have them in the UK

That's good to know Sara.  I've been shopping around trying to find the best price for one.  I only want the promo cards, so I would be very mad if I got the game and it didn't have the promos in them.  I guess I'll have to get it from Barnes and Noble then.

I have a debate to make. Ether a new card or the game

I'd love to have the game because I get so board sometimes and my mom wants it too

No we don't. I hadn't heard of them til I bought some compilations of the early spiderman comics, they are B&N exclusives.. and no one else has reprinted them recently in coloiur (you can get B&W copies anywhere, but I have to ask ... what's the point? They were drawn painstakingly in colour so I must see them in colour

That's interesting.. perhaps the B&N ones won't be around in special edition long

[Morningangel-Iola]

I bet you anything the one with the cards is for the US only

Just got a message from Artbox. This must be wrong

Hello Micheal,

Thank you for your inquiry.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will be released in September, approximately 1 month before the movie release.

It has to be wrong.  The movie is being released November 18.

They were having a deal at my Barnes and Nobles for the Collectors Edition of Harry Potter Scene It...it cost me around $36.00 with the Discount and the membership card if that helps you.

The only GoF stuff I have seen so far are a couple of pictures. Also, I don't know if their are actually any scenes yet or not, but you never know because we only did play the game a few times so far.

The price you paid is better than what they have on their web site.  Their website price is $49.99 or $44.99 if you have a membership card.

$49.99 was the regular price for the game but thanks to it coming out the night of the book release they had a special discount price on it. Also we bought a membership card earlier that day to get discounts on the six HBP books we ordered so that made it even cheaper.

Did you see if Target carried the game? Sometimes they have great sales on their toys and games

No I didn't look for it there.  I did look for the PC version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory video game, but they didn't have it.   But I thought the Collector's Edition Scene-It game was a Barnes and Noble exclusive.

Just confirmed by Warner Bros. GOF will have a PG-13 rating for sequences of fantasy violence and frightening images

Good thing Monica turnes 13 in September

Do you think they are a) very mixed up and talking no sense... or b) refering to the preview set - but even so the comment "approximately 1 month before the movie release" is perplexing

[blackcat20]

if it was being released in september then surely we would have heard something about it by now 

[kbmum]

That isn't the first time there was an error in an Artbox email about a release.  I don't remember the specifics, but I'm sure that I got a similar email from them about the POAU release with the very same mistake -- someone said the release would be a month earlier than it actually was (as opposed to SS, which was delayed).  When I wrote back, the person corrected him/herself.

[EmmasOneandOnly]

Actually, they didnt anwser all my questions. I did ask the date of release to see if they would give me something different and asked if they could tell me some costumes they were using

[kbmum]

I'm not surprised.  We've had a hard time getting info from them one week from release, never mind two months.

[rns91294]

Sorry it took a while for me to answer the price of the game.  The B&N one I bought was indeed $49.99, but it was 20% off, so it cost $39.99, plus my state tax of 6%.  I  think if Target has it, then it would be the ones without the four cards in it.  Does B&N ship international?  They should.  I think it is definitely worth it.

[kbmum]

Even if Barnes and Noble ships internationally, I don't think US DVDs will play in the UK and Europe.

[ArwenEvenstar]

They should play if you have a multi-region DVD player.
