Are you guys ranting just against Canadian EB Games stores or North American ones in general? My CE was shipped plus a free t-shirt on May 5th and according to UPS is arriving on May 10th (I live in GA for the record).

This proves my theory:

Anet/NCsoft hates Canadians.

Mine was an EU version of Collector's edition. It was pre-ordered via EbGames, came on the 5th it was also the EU version of GW:F CE. It had the 12+ age Europe ratting on all cd's and had the -EU- in the cd code for all three and the contact information and gw web site address was Europe. I live in the united states.

As annoying as the wait was, EB Games came through on Friday, and I even got a t-shirt.

I even called Best buy and Futureshop (same as best buy here in Canada) and they have no idea when its coming.
A friend of mine found ones on the shlef at Best Buy on Friday in California.

Something is seriously wrong and no one knows.

Update ... did some calling around today, found another Game Stop with 2 copies of the CE and had them reserve them under my name, so I'm picking them up after work tonight. The other Game Stop I originally ordered from still expects CE's to come in "any day now," but they said they'd give me credit for the pre-order deposits if I bought the CE's elsewhere.

Incidentally, I now understand the grace period was for Prophecies characters only. How silly of me to imagine a Factions pre-order, giving access to a Factions event celebrating and promoting the release of Factions, then giving a 10-day grace period because of delays in the actual release of Factions CE, would actually include any access to Factions content. Of course it's Prophecies-only! I feel like I went to an auto show showing off 2007 models and got a free test drive...of an '87 Yugo.

Last Friday (May 5th) I went to BestBuy store (twin cites, MN) to buy some CD media, then I happen to see 4 copies of GW:Factions CE on the shelve. Yay! lucky me! I didn't preorder but I was able to buy a CE

It has been almost a full month since I put the full purchase price down for the CE. I am in the same boat as you guys. EB has kept on pushing up the date it says the CE will be delivered. I am not a happy camper.

Redly and I had to get ours at Best Buy. We had paid in full copies of the CE ordered at EBgames but they never came in so we called around and Best Buy had a bunch (go figure) and so we got the 4 needed for this household.

We went to EB and got a full refund.

Over the phone they showed Four On Hand; but in person I got some very confused reps who, after figuring out who it was that I talked to, tracked down the only four CEs they had. Note that they were in the back of the store, so if I hadn't asked for them, I never would have known BestBuy had them.

XD I totally walked into EBGames wearing my Factions shirt from Best Buy. It said for me all that needed to be said.

EVIANCE!!

ME TOO!! Today i went to in Gamestop, and they told me they STILL did not get any Factions CE. I asked for clarification or if they knew when it WAS actually coming in. They couldnt tell me. So right there, enraged, i cancelled my preorder, got my refund and stomped out. Thinking all hope of getting a CE was lost, i went to Best Buy just to check out of curiosity. And sure enough!! They had multiple Faction CE copies available. I picked one up and am SO RELIEVED!! Finally my wait is over, no thanks to Gamestop/Eb, resolved by Best Buy's overabundance of copies.

And even so, i cant play till 9 pm tonight cause im at work. Its 5:30pm now... UGH UGH!! im practically peein my pants to start playing factions again!! lmao, still so releived to finally get a copy. Gratz Gamestop you lost another customer that will really not affect ur profit margins at all... LOL!! enjoy, and Good Luck to those who are still looking for their CE!!

And yet another reason why my luck sucks...more specifically, me and my fellow canadian's luck.

I've read countless posts about ppl cancelling their orders with eb and then dropping into a bestbuy and lo and behold, CE on the shelves. Well...since I tried everything else, I called my bestbuy here in Ontario and guess what?...

"Sorry we don't have any copies and it's backordered so we don't know when we're getting any."

...

...



What I want to know is...why do BESTBUYS magically have an ABUNDUNCE of CE on the shelves, why stores like EBGAMES who have a DEAL with anet, can't seem to get not ONE SINGLE COPY to fill a PREORDER. Capitalized the important words...

Does that make sense to anyone? Am i just going crazy from lack of CE now almost 11 days overdue?
