Bugger.... I never buy magazines, but I might actually be convinced to start now....
.... unless I can just sneakily nab the card off the front of one... >_>

Soticoto, ill sell you a copy of the magazine for 300 US dollars. Just because you are a whiney QQer

Well, i'm kinda more interested in the actual magazine, since the other minipet magazines have just a little GW, which is all i read in PC gamer.

Goin to look at fry's but i doubt they will have it lol.

Btw where did u get it in Montreal? Im gonna stop to Place des arts to buy it to Archambault but in case they dont have it yet ...

Well the subway stores were closed when I got out of UdeM's dormitories (one of my friends lives in dorms, went over there to watch a movie) so I stopped at the Maxi, and they were out. I might have to go to McGill or something to get them, but I found the Asura one at Place des Arts - not at the Archambault, within the subway (the stand near the Bleury exits). It's just long since I live near Vendôme... =_=

TheLordOfLard · Sep 19, 2007, 12:44 AM // 00:44

Yeeeessssssssssssssssssss!!!!!! I'm gonna get 2 of these thanks to my american friend! *dances like crazy*

xshadowwolfx · Sep 19, 2007, 01:04 AM // 01:04

Sadly you can only get 1 per account unless you have 2 accounts. Also any news of the mag over here in the US? Or did Canada get the 1 week headstart on releases?

HawkofStorms · Sep 19, 2007, 02:08 AM // 02:08

LoL at all the people saying Europeans are going to get screwed by Americans and that this mini will cost BIG $$$. Have you learned nothing from the Grey Giants and the Asura minis? This mini won't be worth anything, no matter how cool it looks, because it will be UBER COMMON.

Neo Nugget · Sep 19, 2007, 03:02 AM // 03:02

I hate being in such a magazine deprived town lol.

They had pc gamer but no special issue. Any at barnes and noble?

Gaile Gray · Sep 19, 2007, 03:42 AM // 03:42

Please keep in mind: The official "shelf date" really is the 25th of September. So don't despair -- the Special Guild Wars Issue may well be available to you on or around that date!

Oh thanks gaile

No more searching till a few days before that date. Thats when barnes and noble got the asura mag

Fox Reeveheart · Sep 19, 2007, 06:32 AM // 06:32

I went to kmart today (not sure if I posted this or not) and found at least where the pc gamer mags are. It was not there except the farcry one. So I'll just go tomorrow and the next day and next day and next day....

problem is my kmart is UNGODLY remote. we live literally 20 miles from any other big name store like meijer or whatnot. Its the only big store in town... and because of that we usually get things later than everyone else here in michigan. IT SUCKS. Never EVER bank on anything being here on time.

I'm quite intrigued to learn how to 'PvP Like A Pro' myself.

hm i just looked at the cover of the mag more carefully. says to display till christmas... hopefully they have enough copies to even make it till christmas.

A11Eur0 · Sep 19, 2007, 08:05 AM // 08:05

So this is one per account?

I'd say lame, but anyone who pays for a magazine more than once just for a mini is lame themselves.

I guess it prevents theft, which is a good thing.

Can't wait to get mine.

It'll be my second mini that I actually want.

Anet NCsoft only lets one Australian and New Zealand games company distribute there product, EB games. Which means we have to pay what the decide to charge. Anet could help the problem by making the games a general items, sold in a varity of places. But thats not likely to happen

Lawl wut? Have you looked at the price of Prophecies/Factions/NF? It's roughly the same as most newly released games. EotN was $49.95 for me, that's how much I bough WC3 Frozen Throne for when it came out so I hardly see how it's still a bad thing. 90% of newly released games in Australia are around the $100 mark. Guild Wars is no different.

Quote:

As for the Delays, for factions release Anet over looked, forgot or just plain decided to release the games from there European storage house late for Australian/New Zealand release. They directly admit its was there shipping fault. For the Gwen release it was an EB games side, I created a thread to defend Anet in that case. For the collectors of Nightfall there was yet again a delay, I'm unsure as to whos fault that was.

I didn't start playing GW until wayyy after NF came out so I can't comment on the Factions thing or NF. I do know about EotN since I went to EB on Friday and was told 'Monday'. Of course I wasn't happy but I realized something 'It's only two days'. Now unless those two days had free ectos and shards then so what? 2 says isn't stopping you from playing the other stuff.

Quote:

Then how about the ingame store, where we get @#$%ed over in exchange rate because we can't decide which currency to pay in. And in the End you buy a access key for around $10-$20 more then what the game costs.

So the exchange rate is ANet's fault how?

Quote:

More importantly not only are you flaming other forum posters for there personal views and comments but your promoting a bigoted attitude towards an entire country. Does it really impact your life is an Aussie is unhappy with the service rendered by a game?... No but then posting prejudices against them on a basis of ethnic group or there nation is no better then racism.

Are you talking to me with this part? Because nothing you said would apply to me if you were.

What a mook that guy is.

Right now I'm more interest about GW2 info from the magazine than the pet itself. So far I heard that LA will be no more, Orr will rise from the deep, Dragons are everywhere.

Kryta will be a main area for all races, Cantha will be 10 times worst than it is now and Kurzick & Luxon will be no more, Elona will be under Palawa's control. Sunspear will be all but wipeout while the Whisper order remain hidden in the shadow.

So if anyone has the magazine and like to post or make a new thread about real GW2 info that would be great.

kanniet · Sep 19, 2007, 11:07 AM // 11:07

is there an isbn number available?

(Reasoning - each magazine gets 1,000 cards, divide by circulation...)

Where'd you get the idea they're only getting 1000 cards?
And even if they are... what makes you think they'd print copies without cards in?
I seriously hope they wouldn't be that evil...

Though I'm strongly considering purchasing multiple copies of each if I can anyway. Total waste of money perhaps... but that is what I want to do.

Dude... I could convince a total stranger to send me a copy for less than half that amount. :P
