erm... no
from gw.com:
For an added bonus, the November 2006 issue of PC Gamer magazine, due in stores a week before the event, boasts a Guild Wars Nightfall cover story, and includes an access key for an exclusive, in-game, Gray Giant miniature. The Gray Giant will be useable during the World Preview Event, and then may be reactivated with a Guild Wars Nightfall account upon release
it grAy

Gaile's exact words on that topic (lavishly copied&pasted from the german forums she originally posted it)
Quote:
News Flash!
I wanted to give you a happy update about the mini-pet for the World Preview Event:
We had another "wouldn't it be cool if..." moments here at the studio. And so now, the Gray Giant will be in the World Preview Event and accessible to you if you have a code for it. (And yes, we understand that codes will be available in Europe!) What this means is that you can take the little creature out for a romp the weekend of September 22-24.
Now, keep in mind that the mini-pet will be reset when the characters are reset, but you can reacquire him (her?) (it?) upon release of Nightfall by typing the command, "/bonusitems."
I hope this is helpful information, and apologize if the earlier post caused any confusion. The dev team just keeps adding cool new facets to what we're doing, and it's hard to keep up!
Take care, everyone, and I hope to see you during the event!

and the second quote
Quote:
Oh, well, this is a busy day for ArenaNet!
The latest news I have is this: The designers have made it possible for the Gray Giant mini-pet to be available during the World Preview Event on September 22nd, as you know.
You'll most likely obtain quest instructions through the magazine that offers the bonus item in Germany. (And as you are aware, our NCsoft Europe partners have arranged for publication in several areas of Europe. )
Here is the new information: The Gray Giant will be part of a quest in the game. When you complete the quest during the WPE, you will get a prize that reveals the mini-pet. But as you know, all characters will be reset at the end of the WPE, and of course you'll want your mini-pet back. Do not worry! Upon release of Nightfall, you will be able to again do the quest that earns you your mini-pet. When you receive the pet after the release of Nightfall, she (he?) (it?) will be yours to keep.
I hope this is helpful information, and I apologize that I am posting this in English.
Oh, one more bit of info to answer Mpidemie: You will be able to make both starting role-playing characters and PvP characters during the event.

Smileys were incompatible.
Due to the release shedule and deadlines of ALL german magazines, it is however highly unlikely that the minipets will hit Germany before the Preview Event.

FWIW - the Nov issues hit my local B&N near Durham, NC this morning.
