PreOrdering - Guild Wars Forums

I have a quick question concerning the preordering of GW:

I wish to participate in the beta this weekend (March 18-20), and if I went to EbGames and pre-ordered, would I rceive my beta key at that moment, or when would I receive it?

Thank You.

when you get the box in your hand unless someone would open the box prior to shipping it to you and email you the codes

if you walk into the store and buy it off he shelf you walk out with he codes in the box

So if I would personally go to my local EbGames and pre-order the game, I would not have the beta key at that moment if I went say today?

Would ordering it online allow me to get the key for this weekend if I was contacted my email through EbGames?

i went to my local EB store, and walked away with the preorder box with the beta and friend keys. i'd do that before i'd try an online provider if you're in the US.

there are 2 separate boxes

1 the preorder box that sells for 5-10 dollars and can be applied to the retail purchase which has the code and a friends code in it

buy that package and have it in your hand as you walk out the store and you have it

(find a net store that has it in stock and is willing to open the preorder box you bought online and email you the codes from the box before shipping the box to you

2 the retail game box
you can preorder the game and get the retail game on april 28 but not any of the preorder events
