since it's been confirmed that preorder packages will be available next week (7th-10th?), then when it's physically available for everyone instore/online. The people who preordered early should contact/email the retailer and inform them of their order and that they are entitled to the "preorder package" (at no cost if online - and of course deposit instore.).

Be specific and pretty sure they will understand the situation. If there's a chance they dissmiss/ignore this, cancel and re-order again w/ the preorder package clearly available with it this time.

Can you pre-order collector's edition to get both the pre-order items and whatever comes with the CE package?

JBak · Mar 03, 2006, 05:56 AM // 05:56

Will there be pre-order packages for CE?

yes there is CE for faction as NCsoft announced in the webpage gw official

http://www.guildwars.com/aboutgw/faq...ctions-faq.php

but still no CE until now and they may release it after 2 - 3 weeks

just wait and dont worry, if u want the CE just wait and they will update their news

True, but the specifications of the SE and the CE are axactly the same (there seems only to be a difference in price). This will probably be updated as soon as the CE-contents are revieled by Anet, but untill then, I'm not placing an order for any CE-package

I was told that the money I put down for the Pre-order can also be used for the CE.

I can't think of a reason why that wouldn't be true.

(You can't technically reserve the CE yet, because it's "not in the system," is what I was told. But the guy is aware I want it, and as soon as it's in "the system," I'm planning on reserving a copy).

This question is coming up a lot, I just answered it on another thread.

What I was told by EB Games is that the money I put down for Factions could also be applied for the CE if I decide to reserve it instead.

So there's no reason, as far as I can tell, not to reserve a copy of Factions if you want the pre-order package.

will there be some kind of special ingame item in factions ce

Mordakai · Mar 03, 2006, 03:27 PM // 15:27

No one knows.

patrick Killkenny · Mar 03, 2006, 03:43 PM // 15:43

Hello all,

I've been to Game Stop and EB Games and both have not heard of the pre-order offer stated on the official GuildWars web site. Has anyone been able to obtain the pre-order offer. (beta key access, etc.)

Thanks for you help

Patrick

I believe they shipped the 28th, it takes time for them to be delivered. One poster in another thread here stated the best buy person looked it up and it appears they would arrive at his best buy store friday.

Will Riker · Mar 03, 2006, 04:34 PM // 16:34

I was wondering about this same thing. I am going to go to EB today and see what they say about it. The only down side is I am assuming it will be $69.99 like the first since the regular edition Factions is $50.

Eugaet · Mar 03, 2006, 04:56 PM // 16:56

I called both Best Buys this morning as soon as they opened. One store has not received their shipment today. The other store has them...and I have one on hold for me at this moment.

Looks like I'll be making a run out there during lunch.

OK, please post as soon as you get it!

Eugaet · Mar 03, 2006, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Got it, trying to get our scanner back online so I can post scans. That Best Buy had 18 copies listed in the system for receipt but it only looked like maybe 10-12 were left on the shelf.

Woo-hoo! Our first confirmed pre-order package!

Don't keep us in suspense, man, what's in there? (You can just tell us before you scan)

Eugaet · Mar 03, 2006, 06:26 PM // 18:26

OK, scan of front and back. It's packaged in a DVD case.

I still haven't gotten any word from Amazon about the pre-order. I went to my local BB and they STILL didn't have it. I didn't really expect it since Gaile was saying 3/7-3/10 range, but I thought I'd take a look anyway.

Congrats Eugaet! You're the first!

rollntider · Mar 03, 2006, 08:11 PM // 20:11

i just picked up my factions pre order copies WOOT.
