One of the very reasons we developed the In-Game Store was to meet the needs of those who suffer lack of availability or delays in getting the game. So the primary reason for the In-Game Store is to assure that anyone, anywhere, can obtain a copy of the latest Guild Wars game, and can do so when the game goes live.

We have players in South America, the Middle East, Africa and other places who have difficulty and sometimes high expenses in getting hard copies, if they are ever able to get them at all. Service people stationed on military bases often can't get their copies on day of release. Stores in more remote locations can experience a delay. Ditto many other situations. On-line distribution gives you the opportunity to purchase and receive the products in a matter of minutes and to be in the game and playing the hour it goes live.

Now, that's my point. I know there are side issues like billing currency, liking to have the box, or someone not liking to order online. All valid points, but all away from the main point here: There is an additional option to purchase, beyond the boxed copy, and we feel that it's a very good one. There is even an extra incentive to use that extremely-viable option with the offer of the free Bonus Mission Pack.

While we always do our best to make sure things go smoothly, there can be many things outside our control that affect when someone can get a copy of the game. So please, give some thought and consider whether the In-Game Store may be the best choice for you.

Well, I will be using the online store from now on, but still...going to rethink your deal with EB games? I just can't trust EB to get my GW stuff in on time, but I guess I only have to worry about GW2 from now on...*sigh*...

BTW Gaile, what else is going to be in the Merch store? I think i'm going to buy a hoodie. Can't wait to get those models too.

Sure but the online store ends up costing you more, and you recieve nothing for it.

But why would Anet care now, its likely there last GW update, now its all spin for GW2

Target and Big W are pretty RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing wide spread, and they carry games. They'd do a better job than EB Games. Hell, why give exclusive distribution at all? All it does is hurt the consumer, not benefit them.
