Bestbuy is getting them in on either the 24th or 28th. But don't worry about the preview event. You don't unlock the slot nor the weapons until you add your full retail key for Nightfall. So if you get it before Oct 27; you're fine.

It's EBgames, Anet sends out the packs to the stores main offices and from there it's their responsibility to get it out to each individual outlet. Some stores seem to hold them back til a certain date; others just seem to horde them all for themselves or something as none of their outlets actually seem to get more than a couple.

Sasuke The Betrayer · Sep 17, 2006, 11:23 PM // 23:23

If I forgot to mention, they also stated that ANET sends the packs accordingly to what they think is right. It was on the phone call today, but I didn't realize I had forgotten to put that up until right now. They said ANET is the ones who give out the packages, and therefore, ANET had sent little or no packages to the EB Games I went to.

Also... THe real question I'm asking is.... where are all the pre release packages eb games has? Just in the storage, pissing everyone off?, not who makes the mistakes. Like I said, I don't care about the mistakes, I just want my stuff like everyone else.

here is where an unknown number are.

the main eb/gamestop answered on the phone (politely) to check the online sales where i bought it stating it would be released and shipped with the product on oct 26.

that might account for some

Hm, I still have doubt. Though that gives me some hope, I'll just wait it off again and see what happens.

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 17, 2006, 11:37 PM // 23:37

It seems highly unlikely to me that Anet would personally send out the bonus packs to each individual location of every store carrying them. If you ask me, the guy on the phone was just trying to pawn off the blame on someone else.

No telling where they're hiding the treasure. But EBgames has a terrible track record with that. They pissed off all of Australia quite thoroughly. Perhaps they really do have many many employees that just keep them for themselves. Or maybe they keep them to sell on ebay since they aren't actually making any money off the bonus packs in store.

Neo Nugget · Sep 17, 2006, 11:42 PM // 23:42

Same,i am getting really mad at EB games.I was lucky to get factions preorder in a decent amount of time(although the 2nd one from EB took FOREVER).i WAS hoping to use the preorder items in preview event......

OH YEAH in target a few months ago(for factions preorder)I saw they had mabey 30 preorder packs.....i checked for nightfall today.....nada....grrrrrrrrr.

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 17, 2006, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Well someone (the only person that I've known to actually get the pack from EB) said they walked in; preordered; and they handed it to him free on the spot. Not sure if they're supposed to be charging for it in person or just online.

Mister_Smiley · Sep 17, 2006, 11:51 PM // 23:51

Thats why i no longer go to Ebgames, and now no longer will be going to Best Buy, cause their slow lazy a.......that don't know shit. My places if fry's now, ya it might be 15-30min drive, but its worth it. Hell they had so many copys its not funny. Sorry that Ebgames is being a pain for you, but i understand where your comming from, so thats why i'm Done. The Disb is the problem, not the copy that makes the game.

Mister_Smiley · Sep 18, 2006, 12:03 AM // 00:03

All i got to say, go to Fry's ele, the best place to get them, no worrys, went into the store, went to games, look for Guildwars and found a bunch of them and got mine and i was off. But if Gaile said that we don't get them till we use the real key, whats the points?

Neo Nugget · Sep 18, 2006, 12:12 AM // 00:12

Arent EB and Gamestop together?Wopee thats where i preordered both of mine>.<.

They did give me a Display Box. Woot.

i called and got the answer if they would honor that early order of mine when it was listed as a free bounus pack.

nope but they reordered on the phone for the higher 54.99 starter kit package and gave me free overnight shipping to make up for the trouble.

since i had 2nd day already at 6.99 i actually get the prerelease free and 2 dollars off the game box.

not shabby

Malice Black · Sep 18, 2006, 12:21 AM // 00:21

I'll pick one up jus before Nightfall is due, they should be plentiful by then + there is no point having one now..free music ect means jack shit to me I just want the weapons.

Horlem · Sep 18, 2006, 12:44 AM // 00:44

Haven't found a single shop in NYC which has the bonus pack (or even a clue, what I am talking about).

Made my preorder in a Gamestop shop here (after showing them a printout of their own web page information about GW:N CE plus bonus pack).

ANet should look for a new publisher, who can deal with this issue (at least the delivering part).

And we should only relay on information from the official web side, a running gag from now on.

They are the same store yes, in that they answer to the same mother company.

Just different names :\

scrinner · Sep 18, 2006, 12:58 AM // 00:58

I went to bestbuy and Futureshop. These People are ignorant. After spending half an hour explaining what guildwars was, I find out Future shop currently has it online only, and bestbuy doesnt even have it on their site. (Canadian) My closest eb games is a car drive away which doesnt help.

Voltar · Sep 18, 2006, 12:59 AM // 00:59

yeah, too ebgames is convenient for me to get to at work...was hoping the online store would carry some prerelease keys but oh well.

unfortunately in Tucson, AZ no one seems to have it so hopefully the 10/26 date is going to make a difference. even the store management at ebgames acts like the whole world just sorta "happens" around them and they have no control or access to a management level with any control over crap.

probably a flaw in gamestop/ebgames hierarchy and distribution system. how long ago did gamestop buy ebgames? maybe they just haven't ironed out the transition.

**cosyfiep** · Sep 18, 2006, 01:47 AM // 01:47

geez, got my prerelease from Fry's....best buy didnt have it, and I wont do business with them again......Fry's is better.
I would order online from someone else if you can.....eb/gameslop arent very reliable.....or the anet store.
sorry that peope are already having problems, it gives me flashbacks of the factions fiasco.
