Well the ringtones codes seem to be correct. I now have 'Ham - Jump 2 Da Groove' as my ringtone. It's pretty cool.

got mine yesterday morning...no I did not camp out outside Virgin...i woz downtown anyway.
Listened 2 all 4 disks pretty heavily and...
Hixxy's Mix - Very interesting and original viewpoint in true old skool. The mixing is phenomenal- fav 3 tunes wud hav 2 b...Scott Brown - E-Creation 94, I2U - Euro Stomp and I2U - Euro Core.
Sharkey's Mix - I'd say it's his best since X, still keeping the uplifting melodies but got a lot of hard-kicking bass in there 2. Fave 3 - K-Complex - Adagio, Ham - Jump 2 Da Groove, V.A.G.A.B.O.N.D - Chemicals in motion.
Scott Brown's Mix - Much the same as the past 3 albums but maybe a little fresher. As usual the mix gets darker and darker as it goes on. Outstanding mix though. Fave 3 - Scott Brown - Pro"To*Plasm, Scott Brown - Neckbreaker (Sy & Unknown Mix)---OUTSTANDING!! and Q-Tex - The Reason.
Dougal's Mix - Really good mix, better than the majority of the Hixxy's mainstream mixes from the past 3 albums. As sum1 already said though, there are a few tracks that featured on HTID 2, but there are a selection of quality tunes on the mix. Fave 3 - Dougal & Gammer - Get Hype (Scott Brown Mix), United in Dance - Still the One and CLSM - Drifting Away.
My fave disk so far is Scotts, it just feels the freshest, although Sharkey's disk comes a close 2nd.

My review.. :P
Hixxy's Disc- Not bad, Some good tunes... could have done without some- like Whambam etc
Sharkey's disc- Not my cup of tea, Only tune that makes it worthy of a place in my CD player is Jump 2 da groove, will give it a blast later though...
Scott Brown's disc- Packed with some bangers! Although the riff's on some seem to be a bit average.. But Qtex- The reason save's the day and although Protoplasm suffers from being a bit average, I just love that pad and play it quite a bit- My fave disk.
Dougal's disc- I was looking forward to this the most but a bit average once again. I usually love Gammer & G-spencer's tunes but this one is just... ok... nothing special.. Riff isn't interesting at all..No cool sounds, no Warp bass's.. :( Cmon Gammer.. :) Ham- Be happy is pretty good too and ofcourse Back 2 the front, Through the darkness remix is pretty good, aswell as Jess- fine a way, Xtreme is pretty good but there's just not quite enough good tracks for me to play this over the Scott Brown disk... :)
Just my review!

From what I've listened to so far, I think Sharkey's mix is probably best, it's awesome.

To be honest i'm not so keen on the tracklisting. It's certainly not the best Bonkers in my opinion. I much prefer HTID2 i'm afraid.

Now that i know that my copy from amazon will likely have BOTH errors on it (The Printing Error not listing DJ's on the Front/\Hixxy's song 20 being Eye-Opener) i wont be dissapointed 8-)
I dont care cuz the case will end up in my cd case anyways....Like Silver said...itll be a rare item. tee hee 
<*>WHAT?! Im sorry, I can't hear you cuz my Hardcore's too loud, ur gonna have to shut up!"<*>

Bonkers 13 was advertised on channel 4 this evening. I was watching the adverts and I thought "I wonder if they'll advertise bonkers" and about 3 adverts later they did.

I heard that the Hixxy mix had really short songs on it. I pre-ordered mine from HMV.uk and I still havent got it yet, but I live in the USA so it usually takes about 8 days to get to me once its been shipped out. My uncle said he got an e-mail saying it was shipped out, so maybe it will be in this week or next.
