Already ordered mine :/

devils wraths · Apr 17, 2006, 07:50 PM // 19:50

lol same here £40 and now i see this its unfair

Evilsod · Apr 17, 2006, 08:07 PM // 20:07

That is very unfair tbh. You shouldn't be allowed to sell pre-order things at a reduced price.

All the more reason i'm not getting it preorder. I paid £18 for my 2nd copy of GW from play.com.

Whats more i still don't get how you update 2 accounts of GW to Factions

Raiin Maker · Apr 17, 2006, 08:10 PM // 20:10

thats very annoying, ahh wel i shall buy a second coppy, and add it to my second account.

What is that in American Dollars? It does see unfair... they must be selling it at a loss?

I wouldn't be surprised if they "run out" of CE, and ship the regular edition instead...

Jiao Yang · Apr 17, 2006, 08:22 PM // 20:22

I dont think they ship the pre order box before the 28th though.. and they may not even include it anyway. But its only about £2 to buy it from GAME stores (UK).

Teh Mighty Warrior · Apr 17, 2006, 08:26 PM // 20:26

I haven't preordered mine yet, but I'm looking for a cheap place to do so. How much is that in American cash?

refused · Apr 17, 2006, 08:34 PM // 20:34

£21.97 Gbp = $38.8690 Usd

£29.97 Gbp = $53.0225 Usd

So yeah, quite a bit cheaper.

Teh Mighty Warrior · Apr 17, 2006, 08:38 PM // 20:38

38$, that's pretty cheap. Is it a trusted site? I rarely buy from sites I don't know anything about. Can anyone verify that they have recieved the preorder package from this site?

Maxiemonster · Apr 17, 2006, 08:40 PM // 20:40

Wow, that's great. Haven't ordered yet, since I kinda comming. Guess it's time to pre-order

refused · Apr 17, 2006, 08:46 PM // 20:46

If it is a shady site with prices that cheap, I bet something will go wrong in the shipping... it may take months, or god forbid, years!

Tesco is the largest retailer in Britain and supposedly the 5 biggest in the world.

It is supposedly pretty fast and safe for buying online, don’t no about deceiver to America though

X Fire Storm · Apr 17, 2006, 11:47 PM // 23:47

what i dont get is how you ment to get on, on the 27th if you pre-order it when they have to be shiped :S

Jas D · Apr 18, 2006, 12:04 AM // 00:04

That can't be right... that's too cheap. >_<

Yes it would be right - with all the special offers we get in the UK we rarely pay RRP for anything. A few examples: Guild Wars 1 was £17.99, Civilization IV £17.99, Oblivion CE was available for £24.99 delivered recently (these were PC releases btw).

Tesco is one of the biggest if not the biggest supermarket chain in the UK and regularly have special offers like buy 1 get 1 free, get 3 for the price of 2 etc as I do the shopping there weekly.

The SE is the original Chap 1 of GW, and yes tax is included (under UK law goods for sale to the general public have to be shown with VAT* of 17.5% included, only businesses that sell to other businesses who can reclaim VAT are allowed to price things as + VAT). The UK office supply company Viking-Direct are a good example of this - the business site is priced without VAT added, but the general retail site is priced with VAT included - this is because businesses can reclaim VAT but the general public cannot.

*VAT = Value Added Tax the UK/European version of Sales Tax. People from outside the EU can buy EU products and have the VAT deducted - quite a few stores have signs up about this for tourists.
