prolly Ebay and expect to pay some good money for it.....its no longer available. I am talking about a sealed version...not purchasing an existing account.

I don't trust Ebay and I've heard some users have been banned from purchasing stuff from guild wars there

Thats purchasing INGAME stuff like weapons and ingame money.

Buying sealed Games and such isn't against any rules.

It IS Treaky though.

You have to make sure the auction SPECIFICALLY SAYS "SEALED" or "UNOPENED AND UNTAMPERED WITH". Or else you'll likely just be buying the Box contents and they already have used the CD-KEY.

You'll need to expect to pay in excess of $100 dollars though. (sometimes over 150 bucks).

It has been out of production for some time now, and is becoming rarer.

actually are you SURE you checked game stop? ;P

and amazon has the prophesies CE:
http://www.amazon.com/Guild-Wars-Col...257563?ie=UTF8
however I wouldn't buy from either of these 2 vendor's without confirming first exactly what the product you'd be getting is. From the prices only the second is going to be the real deal too.

Your first link is to Nightfall, not prophesies.

The second link has 2 options, the first is not the CE, but the SE, why it is linked to the CE page, I don't know. The second option is $169.95 for the CE, which is about as good as it is going to get. Being a "collectors edition" they are limited in number, so once those are gone, you are out of luck, unless you want to pay a lot.

With regards to Prophecies CE... Stores in Europe have these in stock (I know as I just bought one last week...) Maybe I should buy'em all and start flogging them on ebay?

Though I've seen nobody selling the presale package for Nightfall yet...

Someone told me that they got a Prophecies CE from Germany but he couldn't apply it to his account cause his Factions key was US. As to getting the Prophecies CE, they are no longer in production and your only real choice is to look around ebay they go for around $160-$180 if you can even find one still. In the future, keep in mind that the CE's are produced in limited pressings and then they'll never be available again once they're gone (with the exception of the Factions fiasco...). If you know you want it, get it when it's still available. Also I'm not sure why you titled this thread where to preorder it when it's been out for almost a year and a half......

p.s. you can only get banned for buying premade (used) accounts on ebay, they have no problem with you buying an unopened retail package
