Well I went to my local EB Games and was told I should have pre-ordered the pre-order, to ensure I got a pre-order as they would have had to order the pre-order in order to make sure i got it.

Joking?

Seriously, according to a post by Inde, NCSoft is footing the bill for the pre-order packages.

If you put down money, you should demand the pre-order package when it comes in. EB Games loses nothing in the deal.

If EB Games refuses, burn their store to the ground (or just shop somewhere else to avoid annoying legal problems).

I wanna shop at your best buy!!!

Went in today and sure enough...two days AFTER the announced date it would be on the shelves, it is....still NOT on the shelves.

Alex Weeks if you are reading...do you have any idea why these partner merchants don't have the pre order package Anet announced they should have by now?

UPDATED: It appears they SHIPPED the boxes on the 28th and will be in stores next week about March 7th or so. They really need to proof their webpages better...

Thank you.

Legally, they can't not take $1. bills. It is legal US currency. I would have called the cops.

capblueberry · Mar 21, 2006, 05:19 PM // 17:19

yea, the guy workin even though is was an @$$ he did give me a discounted gamecube cuz he told me the wrong price so i didn't feel rite to complain, but otherwise i would've reported him

EternalTempest · Mar 21, 2006, 05:37 PM // 17:37

What Im curious about is Gamestop bought ebgames (and gamestop does not show up I hate X because of y like eb does...) yet they perfer the eb game logo due to being more known...

M4rk · Mar 21, 2006, 05:42 PM // 17:42

I registered just to crash this thread.

I got my CE preorder about three days ago, maybe four. I ordered from EB Games. I used their website though. Maybe that's the source of your problems.

Anyhow, the actual preorder package is a DVD case, very different than the original Guild Wars preorder's cardboard box (I got that too).

capblueberry · Mar 22, 2006, 12:19 AM // 00:19

ok guys have another story about the crap eb games does:

Ok i preorder oblivion CE cuz ive been waitin for the game for like 2 years, well it came out today and ive been lookin forward to gettin it all day after school, well i call em just to find out that they didn't get the CE in 2day jsut the normal ones, sooooo i go and take my business to game stop and they have extra of the regular one so i get that

Prefectus · Mar 24, 2006, 03:49 AM // 03:49

well i put 5.00 down on the ce and guess what i go in today to pay it off in full and there not selling it all the sudden and i cant add money to the pre-order
well i forsee if eb dosent have my game release day and it better be the ce if not im geting a lawer that will show them

capblueberry · Mar 24, 2006, 04:52 PM // 16:52

i went into gamestop and they were really nice, welcome me wen i came in and everything, i no that gamestop and eb are the same, but gamestop seems so much better

Mage Henchnem · Mar 24, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

I think your best bet is online preordering. I looked for about 2 days all over the town and was unable to get it anywhere. The guy at best buy told me that they had it in stock but coudln't find it, this after telling me not to worry about the fact that they dont reserve titles, as he didn't think it would be a big seller. Thanks dude, you screwed me. So I ended up buying it offline, got the preorder disk 2 days later, only bad part was paying th $4 for shipping, but oh well, I got what I wanted, and now im a happy camper!

For the most part gaming stores are FTL unless the manager happens to be into the same game that you are.

Ghull Ka · Mar 24, 2006, 06:14 PM // 18:14

I ordered my preorder from ebgames.com. The bonus disc was shipped via United States Postal Service on the 13th.

Still hasn't arrived. Super pissed.

rollntider · Mar 24, 2006, 06:23 PM // 18:23

ordered from gamestop, and bought one from best buy. I ordered CE from gamestop shipped within a week. Now waiting on the release. I bought a regular edition from bestbuy, I will pick it up release day.

Prefectus · Mar 30, 2006, 04:01 PM // 16:01

yeah i droped my eb order and went with best buy for the ce

Mattman288 · Mar 31, 2006, 09:42 AM // 09:42

EB was sold out of CE (possible?) and had no preorder packages left. The guy helped me as much as he could. Out of all the years I have been gaming, EB games hasn't really let me down, and I don't really understand what all the hype is about. Sure, they make mistakes, and things don't get there on time, everytime, but everybody makes mistakes. Suck it up.

capblueberry · Mar 31, 2006, 12:23 PM // 12:23

a mistake is one thing, but to tell me to my face that they will call me (the MANAGER said that) and not do it, thats lieing

eternal pho · Mar 31, 2006, 04:05 PM // 16:05

i personally do not like EB games b/c they scam u with its prices

Masseur · Mar 31, 2006, 06:09 PM // 18:09

I walked into a Gamestop a couple weeks ago, which is EB Games since they are both one and the same now, and bought my preorder with no problems.
