Hi everyone,

Well, today is the day *crosses fingers*. The European pre-order box should be available in stores. If anyone in Europe who goes looking for a box could let us know how they get on, that would be great. Even better, take a picture of your box/contents and post it for everyone to take a look at. Bonus points for anyone game enough to take a picture of themselves holding the box in front of the store where they got it

.

I'm told I'll have a definitive list of stores who should have the box for you on Monday, but in the meantime if you find one - let us all know about it! For those in the UK, I believe your local Game should have boxes.

Excelent news!

Does this apply to Mail-order orders as well as stores?

if my mail order pre-order comes next week I'll definatly send a photo xD

Gonzo · Mar 31, 2006, 12:51 PM // 12:51

Same here, I already ordered for it, so I should be getting it soon enough then.

I phoned GAME up today and had asked them if that had got th Pre order bonus for Guild Wars Factions and they had replied, "you will be getting this with the game itself when it is released.." i got annoyed as i already preorded my CE and that i would not be able to join 24 hours before it is actually released

. i will try calling another GAME store tomorrow or emailing them and see whats up.

Fortunately, the game may arrive before the 28th anyway, so there is a chance that the GAME preorder box will arrive early enough to get the 24hr early access. Ive got a normal ed coming from GAME and a CE coming from Gameplay. Gameplay are predicting a 26th or 27th April delivery date.
(This is GAME's online store, don't knwo about the high-street)

www.mediadis.com - belgium site
this is basicly the online preorder, but they send you the box once they have it in stock

I asked at my local Game in Worthing about the pre-order box. As usual I got funny looks and was asked if I wanted to order Factions. Might try the Brighton one next week, surely they must have it in..

Problem with GAME is that their shops and their online presence are totally different.

Staff in the shops generally don't have a clue about the software they stock, whereas shop.game.net DO.

I preordered from them online, got the pre codes emailed within a day or two, then upgraded the preorder so that when the box comes, it's the CE.

Not GAME's fault in particular - most software shops seem to hire a large proportion of muppets.

Damnit, I ordered from Game.net a week or 2 ago and I haven't got anything yet! Why me?! Why ME?! I hate pre-ordering. And I contacted them yesterday to ask why I haven't got anything yet. But I guess they're lazy because they haven't sent me back anything yet! God I'm mad.

Just phoned my local GAME store - the *ahem* lovely person on the end of the phone told me "Nar, ain't got them." Charming.

cyberzomby · Apr 01, 2006, 10:17 PM // 22:17

I got it of an internet page wich was the cheapest around.

I got my pre order box on march 31st. Bang on time, so thats promising for retail version

On the site you just pay for the retail version. And if they still got the pre order kits, theyll send it to you.

http://www.gameconcurrent.nl

Its dutch site, but you can easily buy it there as all the shops are the same.

I had a friend who went into GAME in the UK on the 31st and asked about the factions pre order. They gave him a DVD case with the preview CD and code etc for a £2 deposit. They then recorded his name and address and said they would contact him when its released to pick up the real game. I ahd a quick glance in the case and he seemed to get a poster or something he was very posesive though

. I was hoping to get a cheaper pre order but since most of the cheaper ones seem to not include the 24hours before preview think I might take up the GAME offer.

Edit: This was GAME UK, Southampton btw

Does anyone know, if I preorder the CE on the Free Record Shop site, will I get the unique items AND the Collector's Edition extra's?
