Here in Ireland went to Game too and got the pre release bonus pack for free!

My son went into Game in Norwich, Norfolk, UK to order his Nightfall CE, he also enquired about the Prelease Pack & they had it, they were kind enough to give him 2 copies 1 for him & 1 for me after he explained about my experiences with amazon.co.uk about it

Is there a list like this for the US? How about Australia?

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 15, 2006, 10:58 PM // 22:58

There isn't a list for US; most places in US will have it but not all got it today.

Compusa
Bestbuy
Gamestop
EBgames
Amazon

I think that's about it; possibly Circuit City

Dunno about the U.S., but Australia is listed as part of Europe. (I know, doesn't make sense to me either.)
Check the first post again and you'll find that the only stockist in Oz is Electronics Boutique.

Ok I like to make an addition to my previous post.

Right now the bonus items stopped working too, and there is nowhere I can actually see I added this key to my account.

Like with the Factions items I do see thoose on my account....

Oh by the way for Holland they have been available since tuesday for me from Dynabyte.

I visited GAME in Haverfordwest ( Wales ) yesterday and had no joy but can someone please tell me if I need to pre-order Nightfall to get the pre-release bonus pack? If I do then I will try again today. Thanks

Abyss1 · Sep 16, 2006, 11:02 AM // 11:02

Yes teh Pre-Release Bonus pack gives you the 2 extra weapons and 1 extra slot over the 2 you get when you get the full game. Also on the included CD there are extra's like guides images etc.

None of these items come with the release package, although I think what is on the CD will be included and expanded in the CE edition but not the weapons and not the 1 extra slot.

The word from most EB's Australia's only store selling Nightfall is one of Three options

1) "Nightfall, Guild wars you say? is that a X-box game?"

2) "Yeah we'll offer pre-release packs when there sent sometime before the game release date.... when ever that is"

3) "Yeah we have the packs" "No! not in store there being sent from distribution"

gojensen · Sep 18, 2006, 08:56 AM // 08:56

Still nothing in Norway... so it seems we missed the 15th release date...

Clord · Sep 18, 2006, 09:16 AM // 09:16

Any online store what are listed not sell here Finland either yet that pre-release pack even when it is mentioned in their site. More funny is that it is told to be available 9.15.

RTSFirebat · Sep 18, 2006, 09:56 AM // 09:56

Not sure if its been said already, but with GAME in the UK, if you pre-order Nigthfall they give you the pre-order pack for free!

Meaning if you cancel you pre-order at a later day you get it for free. I did this last year as GAME pre-order system is a bit flakey.

Xtroll · Sep 18, 2006, 10:48 AM // 10:48

Hello, there. I was one of the pll preordering Factions in Norway a while back.
And it all ended up in a big mess.

Well first everything went ok, exept for the actual release got delayed, but I was not to worry because they enshured me that my preorder key would work until my game package would arrive. so far all good.

Well, after that hell broke lose as Anet had delivered games to most of Europe, and shut down all of the preorder accounts, and I still hadent got my pacage, nor did most of the norwegian pll.

Wrote a complain about this and no responce

, And ingame folks just told me that I was actualy luckey they hadent deleted my character and all the stuff I had on the new ones....

And as it seems that Anet will be strikter on the rules this time around,So I dont really dear to preorder on Norwegian sites. A Shame really because I really want to.

So my question is, will Anet put up the preorder on their offical store or not?
I would feel mutch safer preordering from them.

It has been asked/answered several times already in the Q&A and Tech forum.

The bonus slot and items will not be available for the preview next weekend only when the game is actually out and you added that key.

For now you don't have to do anything and you haven't messed anything up, the Manage Keys will not show anything for now.

So no need to panic

Also if you notice what it says (you quoted it wrong) it says ".. you WILL already have the rights..."

Loic Claveau · Sep 18, 2006, 01:27 PM // 13:27

Hello all,

Alex isn't available to update you all on the Prerelease Bonus Pack so here i am (the French GW CC)

So the news is that the missing Prerelease codes in the UK GAME stores seem to affect a relatively small amount of boxes. We intend to replace any boxes at the affected stores so none are given out without codes.

If there's a new update, i'll let you know!

Cheers,

Pre-order Packs are still a "now-show" in Germany. Only the online retailers and isolated retailers have so far offered it. the big chains listed on the official website show no sign of havingt them.

Thank you for shopping at Amazon.co.uk.

I think they got a bit confused, and didn't seem to understand by what I meant about a prelease pack for Nightfall so I have emailed them again clarifying what I meant

.

Will post again with their reply.

I got the exact same response so I got back in touch explaining clearly what the bonus pack was including linking them to the eu. website for guildwars "where to buy" and showing them an example of the pre-order pack on other amazon sites and they said the following:

Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk.

After reviewing our previous correspondence with you, may we apologise for any misunderstanding caused.

After checking our website we can confirm that now "Guild Wars Nightfall Bonus Pack (Presell)" is not available for pre ordering.

So with nothing on the site and this response via email it really doesn't look like Amazon.co.uk is providing the pre-order bonus pack at all.
To make sure I got my copy I ended giving up with Amazon and ordered through Game

Does this apply only to pre-ordering the CE, or to the regular version too?
