I'd say start calling around on Monday and try to get it as early as possible.

I just checked my ebgames.com preorder and now it says "Processing" (Last week it said it would ship on 10/26). They have not charged my CC yet but it sure looks like it is going to ship today or tomorrow!

Feminist Terrorist · Oct 23, 2006, 05:22 PM // 17:22

Mine too! I'm so excited now, darn you Dazzler.

Sir Skullcrasher · Oct 23, 2006, 05:28 PM // 17:28

I'm going to call the store today or tomorrow and see if the box is in!

Has anyone been scouting the prices at all for opening day sales?

I just want to see if there are any costs competitions. I will be buying it opening day so I want to try to find a good deal.

BTW, Fry's in AZ posted that they will have the game in by noon on Oct 26. Are the servers open for Nightfall by then or do they open at 00:01 on 10/27?

Knightsaber Sith · Oct 23, 2006, 06:44 PM // 18:44

They open midnight PST just like all the big events

Question here: When can we get our boxes in-store?
Seems to me that with the game launch being at 3:01am (EST), well.. stores aren't open at that time, so how can I be sure to get my box in time? Hassle the store?

Thanks!

Start phoning around now to see who's having it out when. If you can't find anyone, you'll have to either wait for the stores to open or buy it from the ingame store.

Not being able to play the first six hours of the game going live wouldn't be so earth-shattering.

Fallen Shadows666 · Oct 23, 2006, 11:29 PM // 23:29

I forgot to say that I already fully paid my CE at my local EBgames store...
Nonetheless, I shall start calling them about it tomorrow morning, 8am..

You can try shopping engines such as pricegrabber.com or mysimon.com, or even, I'm sure, yahoo shopping. I didn't see any sales on NF in the Sunday paper. The only store that even had it mentioned was Best Buy.

Tried those and nothing is coming up yet. Looks like I'm biting the $70 USD at any store. According to Fry's, they are giving a t-shirt with purchase and BB is giving the pre-release bonus with purchase (though that may just be for online preorders).

Ive ordered the pre-order, but its not coming till after the 27th! Will i still be able to add the key

jackie · Oct 24, 2006, 02:50 PM // 14:50

In here Finland it's shipping from the retailers on 27th day, so it'll propably arrive to customers on next Monday/Tuesday.

My hun is already cursing why NF can't be in stores like week before the servers go live to minimize possible disappointments to get it late.

As long as you add the preorder key before december 31st (I believe that was the stated date) it will work, you should be fine adding the game before the prerelease bonus pack.

rxtracid · Oct 24, 2006, 07:38 PM // 19:38

Just got an email from GameStop saying they are starting shipping on WED 25th.

Actually it is Anet (NCSoft). The pre-order, pre release, whatever you want to call it is 4.99, the game itself is 54.25 (Game Stop/EB Games) for a grand total of almost $60 for this game.

What you are doing is paying $4.99 for an extra character slot, and a couple of weapons that you won't ever use because ingame weapons are so much better. This doesn't give you any special play time, nothing that truly sets it apart to be done except the 1/2 price slot.

Next chapter, if I play next chapter (I have played this game since beta of Prophecies) I won't do a pre order at all. It's like front money for nothing as far as I'm concerned.

Knightsaber Sith · Oct 25, 2006, 01:03 AM // 01:03

^ Yes Anet is obviously the one that produced the bonus packs. But each individual retailer set their own prices for it and many even gave it away free. It is in this regard Anet is not responsible for it. If you disagree with the price, it would make no sense to complain to Anet as they did not set the price for it.

Don't take quotes out of context as it only makes you appear more the fool. And try not to get in the habit of directly responding to month old posts as you obviously don't bother to read all related posts.

Ok, so i got my CE box today but being in a hurry I didn't notice one of the side flaps (plastic thing that seals the box lid) was off. Anyway when I got home I found everything was in there as per what they say officially on the guildwars website http://www.guildwars.com/support/gam...nts/nightfall/

but the only thing niggling me is the game activation card, because when i compared it to my Factions CE card, the (Factions) CE card front is in pure black with gold lettering " Collector's Edition" clearly marked on it whereas the Nightfall one just says Game Activation Card( on the bottom left of card), with a picture of a paragon on it and the words "Guildwars Nightfall" in the lower right. The back of the card is relatively blank with the scratchie and lettering on the lower right stating "GWNFCE-UK-SC" ( I assume the CE means Collector's Edition but i'd rather not jump to conclusions considering how the Factions card looked like).

Can anyone shed a light on the difference in the standard and CE game cards?

Thanks.

Ps: I'd post pics but I don't have a camera :/

Thanks for the reply! They are both coming at the same time, so will add pre-order first anyway
