Every Best Buy in the state of Georgia (probably the whole country as well) has NO record of when they will receive the CE version. There is no "in transit" information in their computer system. This means they will most likely get it in some time mid to late next week.

Haha, I walked into my local Game shop in Kent UK and they had just put the ONE and ONLY copy of Factions CE they had in the glass case behind the counter.

"Could I buy that please?" I asked the shopkeeper.
"Certainly sir, that's fifty quid!" He replied.
"Thanks very much." I said, smiling a bit too much.

I ordered mine from Tesco.com (£29.99 FTW!) and it still says it should be dispatched today. :/

I need some advice from current CE holders.

Like all of you, I preordered my CE long ago, however upon calling my local EBgames today, they said that it would be delayed for a week.

So now I have two options:

Option a) Hold out a week without factions while everyone else enjoys it and gets all the cool stuff. The reward is I get my CE eventually and /dancenew their asses.

Option b) Cancel my preorder and get the regular edition that's now $10 off + get a T-shirt and play right now. The con is I don't get the CE goodies.

I need a speedy response please.

Thanks.

EDIT: For the record I live in Canada.

Tengu event is over (same boat as you) and you get a lot of cool stuff, I would wait to be honest.

Was not enough supply vs demand on pre-orders aka Anet makes more.

Shipment's did go out to the retailers but I suspect some are not releasing partial shipment and just waiting till they build up stock before some send them.

(Edit) Corrected the post - Glitch when I edited - didn't meant to double post.

Let me say that I'm pleased with Amazon.com's speed. Though I didn't order the CE, I got standard Factions yesterday at 1pm EST.

zenatomiser · Apr 28, 2006, 03:25 PM // 15:25

I'd wait, I am going to get mine in about a week as well, Im sure there are plenty of people who will be holding out, so your not alone! theres some great goodies in there from what ive heard.

Studio Ghibli · Apr 28, 2006, 04:08 PM // 16:08

.. hum.

It seems every store in Pensacola, FL, has no idea where the CEs are.

While I'm not angry (more amused), I'd like to thank Anet for keeping on the ball about there being no shortages in the US.

/playful sarcasm

I also work at Best Buy, and our transfer system is showing no CEs en route.

Vunderful.

They emailed me saying a couple of days - they didn't actually have a date, but 5/10/2006 is a LOT better then June, 30th - dontcha think?

Beld the Savage · Apr 28, 2006, 06:06 PM // 18:06

They should create a method so that they can send or mail CE keys to ppl who alrdy paid so they can play. And then just send the loot u get in the CE later to those ppl.
Would give lesser frustrated ppl who would love to play!

Ah well.... sitting tight... waiting dreaming wishing

luckily the Pre order play time has been extended

outferno · Apr 28, 2006, 06:08 PM // 18:08

I was at the store today at 9 AM (Best Buy) and they didn't open until 10 AM (What was I thinking?!) Got in, no CE is out, not even the regular edition. I guess they were running late. I talked to the guy and he said the Pre-Order Discs sold for 10 dollars had a disclaimer stating: Release date is subject to change. Wow, READ THE FINE PRINT?! I didn't *smack smack*. Needless to say, I'm tired as hell and I still haven't looked for that.

Secondly, I'd like to state, anyone working at a Gamestop or any "retail store" never ever bug your customer by being a POMPOUS CAPTAIN OBVIOUS. I went into Gamestop as a last ditch effort, not only was the guy not courteous, but he rubbed it in my face that I should have pre-ordered by stating, "If you know it's coming, pre-order." Wow, thank you Captain Obvious. I left saying, "I did, just not with you guys."

So, now I'm confused and I don't want to wade through 32 pages. I bought 2 of the Pre-Order Discs, does this mean I'm receiving a CE Edition reserved or does this mean I'm gettin a regular Edition reserved? This is truly a messed up situation.

Jiao Yang · Apr 28, 2006, 06:22 PM // 18:22

Got my CE today

Everything worked out fine...
I pre-ordered from GAME.net btw and they sent me the pre order box about 2 weeks earlier.

so the collector edition vary from different stores. Some has it right now while others won't get their shipment till next week or so.

Hey Jiao, how did you got your CE this fast? I thought it was a global delay?

Studio Ghibli · Apr 28, 2006, 06:52 PM // 18:52

.. correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like people who ordered there CE online are having better luck than those who did it directly through the stores.

Thats what i'm thinking too but if you go to gamestop, ebgames and some sites, you don't even see the collector edition on there.
