This is what the Grey Giant looks like in game:

Yeti model. Ho hum.

He may not be pretty, but that's NOTHING like the yeti model. I mean, really, if you're going to complain, at least be accurate.

Lol...ur rite...who's actually going to get that kind of money in such a short time....anyways!... I will be try to buy this minipet,... but for future reference, I hope that they will give you a choice next time, $$$CASH$$$ or minipet lol for ur birthday that way no one scams, and no one has to spam to sell their minipet.

Like regifting, perhaps? I think we've all heard by now; there is really only ONE fruitcake left in the world, being passed from house to house each Christmas at the speed of FedEx.

By saying it "means" something, I meant that if pets were customized you could tell by the fact that somebody has a pet that he has been around for at least 1 year, which means it is likely that he's not a total newb. It's kinda like a title that you have to earn. But since pets can be traded when I see somebody with a pet all I think is: "Pffft ..... yet another farmer with too much money. Maybe he even bought the gold on Ebay."

There may not be too many year old newbs running around loose, but I've seen and played with planety of noobs that have been here since beta. Given the choice, I'll take the newbie who bought a pet because they though it was cute.

Pets, title, fame; whatever. None of these define skill.

EDIT: Whoa; lag ftw...

On-Topic: About the mission to retrieve your giant. Does it mean the pet will be an additional reward to players who buy PCGamer now? Or is it going to be a standard reward for anyone?

And as we know all items(including money) will be wiped after the event, so feel free to buy the mini pet i would say, as it is as lasting as the gold you bought it with.

Exactly. People, you can't get "scammed" for money you can't keep anyway! LOL

Minus Sign, the Gray Giant is a mini-pet only available through PC Gamer.

Nilator · Sep 14, 2006, 07:58 PM // 19:58

Ok, so can I buy this edition of PC Gamer from a store and get the CD key for the mini pet?

Electric Sky · Sep 14, 2006, 08:00 PM // 20:00

yes you get the code with the november issue

Nilator · Sep 14, 2006, 08:02 PM // 20:02

Sweet, anyone know when, by chance this is out in stores?

Dante the Warlord · Sep 14, 2006, 08:07 PM // 20:07

I just hope the other countruies get the same pet...it won't be any fair if they get diff. ones and look better

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 14, 2006, 08:12 PM // 20:12

Yes, the European GW site already confirmed everyone gets a Grey Giant. Pay attention people!!

Mister_Smiley · Sep 14, 2006, 08:13 PM // 20:13

the Pc gamer will be out sept 19th from what i understood. Also Knightsaber Sith, you say that a euro web site says that everyone gets a Grey Giant, does that mean their is no point in buying the PC gamer, or do you mean everyone that buys it gets it? You lost me.

Agatsu · Sep 14, 2006, 08:22 PM // 20:22

Just to add another confirmation to what others have said:

I bought this Mag at Barnes and Noble yesterday the 13th.

It's out, at least in Barnes and Noble

Electric Sky · Sep 14, 2006, 08:24 PM // 20:24

sith probably meant that whoever buys an issue gets a grey giant

Knightsaber Sith · Sep 14, 2006, 08:29 PM // 20:29

I meant that every magazine that's publishing a minipet code in the world(which is America, Canada, Europe) is giving Grey Giants. So everyone gets Grey Giants and no one has to whine "but his is prettier than mine?!".

Mordakai · Sep 14, 2006, 08:41 PM // 20:41

Just for the record, it's spelled "Gray Giant."

No biggie.

Lady Lozza · Sep 15, 2006, 09:57 AM // 09:57

Ok, my understanding of this is that the key will give a quest of which the pet is a reward. My question is whether the quest will be available in the game itself, because Australia is quite far behind magazine wise. If we are lucky we might get it before the release of the actual game. It would be nice to know, in the mean time, whether we will be able to get the quest and the pet then, or whether it is only a beta weekend thing.
