I mean sure you get to play 1st, but after a month who's going to care?

I'm just going to wander down to my local games store on the day of release & buy it then....

If I am missing something please let me know.

If you do that you will not get the ingame items or the book.

Yeah... not really bothered about the items or book, bit to much of a marketing gimmick.

This is true. I want to get them cause I missed out the first time around.

Why on earth does this have to be so darn confusing. The Amazon release date is April 28th... the beta is on what, the 24th of March???!!!! So am I to cross my fingers and hope I get a key in time. Why does everything with this game come with so much controversy and speculation, over things that should be very simple to understand

So is it possible to preorder the Collectors Edition, and get the pre order box? thats the only question still remaining for me.

devils wraths · Feb 28, 2006, 04:13 PM // 16:13

i emailed and asked and they said if you order any of the retail or collectors edtion you have to ask the shop if they give you the package thing

I would not mind doing so, but I would like to maybe pre-order the Collectors Edition instead. Is there a link thru you for this?

There is no word on the CE yet. Gaile Gray has said that they are trying to get one together but no information at this time. For those who truly want a CE, I would wait a bit before ordering. And if you still are not sure what version you want and have all ready pre-ordered, be sure to keep your receipt as some stores will allow for exchanges!

I purchased my preorders today and the store said when and if the CE comes out, that i could do a rollover. So check with store u r buying from to see if they have that type of deal for u.

I just preordered

euro 38.50 incl shipping *calculates* = ~45-46 dollar

hmm.. was the cheapest I could find, and my first preorder ever. I want a box, I like having those in my game collection.

Big_Iron · Feb 28, 2006, 05:03 PM // 17:03

I pre-ordered with Amazon. It was cheap, $39.99 (USD) with free shipping. However, it gave me a ship date of April 28. I know, that's the "release date" according to Amazon and other vendors, but I thought this was for the Pre-release package that included the CD of artwork and so on that came out today. There was no mention of that. As far as I know, I could pop by my local Best Buy and get all that today.

Edited to add---> I went by my local Best Buy and they didn't have a Pre-order package. In fact, they only had two copies of Guild Wars and were still charging $49.99 (USD).

Slimcea · Feb 28, 2006, 06:27 PM // 18:27

One thing I never quite understood - why doesn't ANet team up with NCSoft to allow pre-ordering of Factions online through PlayNC?

I mean, what you essentially need is just the CD-Key, since the client and everything else can be streamed to you. PlayNC already sells Prophecies' keys alone without the package, so they could do the same with Factions. It'd help greatly for people like me in the "neglected" regions (i.e. Asia and Oceania), since international shipping charges are often pretty damn expensive.

I think not.. collectors might come out later

I live in Canada... which is part of the American Continent and as i was told we can pick up the preorder copy on Feb 28. Today, being Feb 28, i scurriedly went to EB games to pick up a preorder copy. Well, it turns out that they dont have any o_O and the sales people were so clueless as to what it is... How disappointing...

Fred Kiwi · Feb 28, 2006, 06:50 PM // 18:50

A pdf, not the actual reference card and tactical guide for euro players? No thanks.

Do you know if Amazon.com will send me the pre-order package if I pre-order from there? Will there be extra shipping charge for the pre-order package? I haven't found any information from Amazon.com regarding the pre-order package.

EternalTempest · Feb 28, 2006, 08:02 PM // 20:02

I am not going to pre-order until they have pre-order for CE, not a "roll over" or other change it latter

Starting to get worried. Amazon.uk has CE avaiable for preorder but no mention of the kit.

master_ranger_matt · Feb 28, 2006, 10:32 PM // 22:32

woot, preordered now, anyone else?

XtrmEend · Feb 28, 2006, 11:18 PM // 23:18

Waiting for news on the CE..
