Bonus section MK.com now available!

[Rollergirl]

Just sent them a (polite, to start with) email. See if I get a reply.

When I put the CD in the drive and want to validate my GL copy, it says that it's not valid!
No bonus section on mk.com
No Early Bird on french Itunes
No Time in The Sun on french amazon
All this gets on my nerves.
They could have kept the casino chips for themselves at the record company and put the 2 songs on the bonus CD!
Very disppointed by the marketing strategy! Universal music is only here to make money....

Here's another gullible fan who pre-ordered and got that mail about the bonus section. And since that, nothing.

So as a little heads up I'm bringing the contact info for the guys behind markknopfler.com since the "store" refuses to reply 
Time for a phone call then?

Hi! welcome!  They did reply to my email, quite quickly even:

The bonus section is available to all buyers of the CD (outside of the US). There was a delay in getting the site up yesterday, and I'll be sending out the access codes today.

I said I wanted a refund because it was misleading and I got another quick answer: 
I'm sorry if that's the impression you got, but what we said in the newsletter was "As a special bonus to all CD buyers (outside of the US), we'll be launching a special section of MarkKnopfler.com in September just for you." It's slightly different on the site, but does say "As a special bonus to UK and MarkKnopfler.com CD buyers".

Unfortunately, the CDs have already shipped.

LOL, and even if you do play guitar - D'Addarios are available in every guitar store. I use them, too. And they're cheaper than buying a special edition CD

Maybe you can also win some tonewheels as well. Cool for the vintage keyboard players. Or perhaps some drum sticks. Who knows!

No sweaty headband for me please, meet & greet is fine for me

Hi all,

What's behind the special bonus site ? Well that site is strange, it says that Opera and Chrome web browsers are not supported.
Bad impression as a beginning...
So I have tried with Internet Explorer (I hate that one), wow this time I've got tons of log/debug popups. Great progress ! 
Is this site still under construction ? Or is it such a very special section that needs lots of controls to access the graal ? 
Finally I have the page : all that for a small plugin that controls the CD inserted in the drive and it returns to a simple page on the mk.com website : http://www.markknopfler.com/bonus/default.aspx

Guess what, I have then copied the page link to my other browsers then and it appears with no problem (I was logged in). I guess the plugin in IE has written in the database that my CD has been approved so now no need of the plugin anymore.

So you have to use IE or Firefox first, but if you prefer another browser (Opera, Chrome or Safari) you can use them back after the identification of your CD copy.

A chance to win the Deluxe box ? I already have it. D'Addario strings, woow... no thanks.
Meet'n'greet, sounds much better for me as I have not seen one yet 
A signed Fender, hmmm why not but I would prefer a signed National 

Regards
David

Is it just me ( ) who thinks that the plugin might result in a serious security issue? Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I become leery when it comes to installing plugins (or rootkits....) made by the music industry. Did you check your firewall afterwards?

I managed to access to the "bonus site" with my cd, and I have to say that it

[Rollergirl]

Is it me or has the infamous bonus section disapeared?
