Sujoy · Jul 26, 2007, 04:09 PM // 16:09

well it's Best Buy... you wouldn't expect them to have it? But they do...

Just an FYI......these are starting to show up on eBay for sale. I just checked and saw at least 5 available. May not your best option, but a viable one nonetheless.

This sounds familiar o.O *twitch* I stopped in GameStop on the 23rd which is the same company as EB (both are printed on the back of my receipt) and the guy there is probably more of an idiot than a gamer, and he was telling me that they haven't recieved any and would only get a limited number of them so I ended up having to preorder the preorder *annoyed* I put my $5 down for it so they better get a shipment soon, or they'll be getting an angry, expletive-laced phonecall

and one less customer. They had an empty GW:EN box sitting right on the counter but no preorders.. very uncool.

At GameStop where I ordered GW:EN they didn't charge me extra for the pre-release pack as they saw it as a pre-order bonus. Of course now I'm just waiting for them to call me up when it comes in.^^

The Gamestop that I have in my town, I have 2 of them here and both had no clue about a pre-order and they didn't even know if they was getting one or not. I wound up having to purchase the pre-order from the online store, which I had no problems with but I find it quite odd is that they didn't even have a clue as to a pre-order for EOTN. When I pre-ordered from them when Factions rolled around I had no issues at all.

So does that $10 go towards the price of GW:EN if you buy it from BestBuy?

Anyways, today I went to GameStop again and the clerk said that they would receive the pre-release pack later in the evening or tomorrow so I'll give them a call tomorrow ASAP! He also said that 6 other people had asked about the pre-release too and that they'll have about 22 pre-release boxes for sale so I better hurry up and get it before it's all gone!!

Not arrived at Spain yet

at least where I live. They (seller in Game shop) say that it would arrive next week but they are not sure.

HKSdivision · Jul 27, 2007, 06:04 PM // 18:04

I just got back from GameStop and pre-ordered my GW:EN! Yay! They said the bonus pack might arrive later today otherwise next week! I also stopped by Best Buy and saw the bonus pack for $10 too but I didn't bother asking if the $10 goes towards the full price when GW:EN is released since I already pre-ordered mine at GameStop! Can't wait!

The Gamestop here says that they won't get them until August 15th. You would think that ANET would have gotten them out sooner, but this is probably NCSoft's doing to give the Guild Wars store a head start.

That's great for Hammond, but what about the rest of the state...

Nomme Moon · Jul 27, 2007, 09:41 PM // 21:41

None to be found at any GameStop/EB Games in the state of Washington as of 4 minutes ago. Called a store, they checked their inventory as well as looked at a list of other stores, and he said the nearest store that had them in stock was in San Diego, CALIFORNIA.

Thanks a lot, NC Soft, looks like you forgot about an entire portion of the U.S.

Winterclaw · Jul 27, 2007, 11:34 PM // 23:34

I got my preorder today. You know, some of you might be acting a little harshly if the stores didn't have it in stock on the supposed prerelease day. For example my best buy usually runs a few days behind on new game/anime releases on some occasions. For some reason, I don't think that a prelease counts as a hot or high priority item that needs to be out that exact day.

aaje vhanli · Jul 28, 2007, 02:02 AM // 02:02

The pre-release bonus pack from GameStop came in today for pre-ordering GW:EN at no extra charge (my $5 down payment counts towards the purchase of GW:EN).

stiffler · Jul 28, 2007, 07:32 AM // 07:32

Good news for Australian's, I just got a call from my EB saying that they have copies of the pre-release bonus packs, sweet!

Feminist Terrorist · Jul 28, 2007, 08:34 PM // 20:34

My local Best Buy had nothing for GWEN yesterday. I wasn't surprised, since they had nothing for NF either, when it came out. I just want to know how much the game will be in the online store so I can decide where I'm going to buy from. Or if.
