Ok... I was at walmart.com this morning and i did not see guild wars pre order... does this mean walmart will not sell guild wars?

Sennarc · Apr 09, 2005, 04:27 PM // 16:27

no, it is coming out at wal-mart. They're just not promoting the pre-order packate stuffs. In the store themselves they also have the release date set for the end of may.

Marksmann · Apr 09, 2005, 04:29 PM // 16:29

...and they may have been out of stock, or that particular store has no plans to stock it at all.

Manderlock · Apr 09, 2005, 04:34 PM // 16:34

bah that realy ticked me off. i live in west texas, and i have to drive for two and a half hours on the highway to even find a mall.

if only the people at wal-mart had half a brain i coud have saved my gas

(wich is extremly expensive atm with the added factor that i get about 7 miles to the gallon in my beast of a truck

)

Do yourself a favor, Find a Gamestop, EB, compusa, someone that hires Gamers. The aggrevation factor for dealing with non-gamers is unforgiving.
Also, if you call the store, you wont have to sit on the phone for 3 hours while the CS department tries to find someone who has a clue.

Ed1337 · Apr 09, 2005, 04:38 PM // 16:38

I gotta drive an hour or so to even get to wal mart haha.

Marksmann · Apr 09, 2005, 04:43 PM // 16:43

Yeah, with the way GW is being marketed on various pre-order, collectors', and/or standard versions, I've just gotten into the habit of calling ahead to verify the in-store availablity of items I'm interested in, before venturing out. And even that is not always fool-proof, since the item I'm wanting may indeed be in the store, but the person you talk to just doesn't know the correct answer or is too busy/lazy/stressed to find out. What're ya gonna do?

Manderlock · Apr 09, 2005, 04:46 PM // 16:46

Hey Manderlock, where in West Texas do you live ? I live in South east New Mexico...(lovington).

I checked with Walmart also and they said that unless the game is showed at the "COMING SOON BILLBOARD" above the games section - then it will not come.

I have doubts that Walmart will carry it untill later, like other poster said - and that their release is end of May.

I will drive to Best Buy/ Comp USA in Lubbock and hope they have it.

static deathbringer · Apr 09, 2005, 05:58 PM // 17:58

wal-mart never carries top of the lines games untill about a month or so after their release, they wait to see which game is selling the best, and thats when they place orders. amzeingly enough though they carry every single console game ever made, even if its the suckiest of the suck... walmart is normally known for absorbedent prices as well, or to low a price on certain games, i remember one time a game was selling for 49.99 in EBgames and i found it in wal mart for 19.99, vice-versa

i would seriously call first, or find an EBgames or gamestop if you can, even if its a lil farther away, BB/CompUSA have bad track records with games/pre-orders

Ed1337 · Apr 09, 2005, 06:17 PM // 18:17

I don't think there's any doubt that Wal-Mart will carry it, the real question is when. Bottom line--if you want to play the game on release, you better have an alternative to Wal-Mart because they are consistently 30-60 days behind on PC games (as opposed to console games, as noted above...).

Vai
