Is it possible to get your preorder money back from gamestop once you've already gotten the t-shirt and preorder box?

Sereng Amaranth · May 09, 2006, 02:09 AM // 02:09

Gaile, I have a question/suggestion. For Chapter 3, to avoid these shipping problems...could you set up some kind of email system where we receive our CD key? We already have the game on our computers. All we need is access to it.

Hopefully Anet and NCSoft will learn from this debacle.

I'm not sure I'll preorder next time. It sure didn't do any good this time. :/

Well you were not supposed to get the tshirt till you got the actual game in hand (pre order or not). So in your case I am not sure what happened....
The money you paid for the preorder was supposed to go towards your purchase of the game! So if like me and my family you paid in full ahead of time and if they delivered on time, they would then give us back a certain amount towards the game price. (no shirt at this point)

However we decided that we didn't want to buy from them cause they didn't have our copies yet and we found them elsewhere - they gave us ALL of our money back, including the preorder money cause in reality it was to go towards the price of the game anyways! (We did NOT have to give back the preoder box or anything)- We went elsewhere, got our shirt and our CEs, no problem!

What stores in chicago still have stocks of the CE?

boxterduke · May 09, 2006, 04:19 PM // 16:19

I just called EB in Canada at a major mall and they told me that the CE is not on the list of shipment today.
They have gotten an email from EB head office telling them that they still do not know when it will arrive in Canada.
He knows that Canada is getting 350 copies though, I just hope those are not the June 30th ones.
The mall next to my house (where I preordered and fully paid for the CE) is supposed to get 3 copies as I was told yesterday by the manager there.

I do not know what to do,
-should I give up and get a regular version and forget CE.
-Get regular then once CE is out use the key on top of it.
-Or just wait for CE.

This is really frustrating.

GothKatt · May 09, 2006, 05:36 PM // 17:36

boxterduke,
yeah I know what you mean. I'd almost liek to get the regular one and then top it with the CE, but the GF wont let me

So I'm stuck with the other two options.

update:
Spoke with EB this morning about 11:34am Mountain time. They have 6 pre-orders, and 6copies in transit. So they could arrive with the UPS man anytime today or tomorrow. I'm not getting my hopes up mind you, But here's hoping.

I'm in Alberta, so this is hopeful news right?

Update 11:43am Mountain Time
EB just called, they have them.

hi everyone

I just want to check if its wise to buy the collector edition online through gamestop or ebgames website? The reason is that i seen those as "now shipping" message on the CE page and wondering if this is the second place to go to get the a copy for me. I know that i could go to best buy but it has been almost. 5 days since they gotten copies in store. So i'm not sure if there'll be some in store for me to pick.

Thanks,

you could go and have a looksee if any are left.

just got mine yesterday from gamestop (UPS 2nd day)

Sereng Amaranth · May 10, 2006, 12:54 AM // 00:54

GameStop told me they had some shipped yesterday on 3 day shipping. They expect it tomorrow.

Greetings!

After getting fed up with the run-a-round from EB Canada, I decided to call a couple of Best Buy stores in N/W Washington state - I live near Vancouver, Canada and it's only about 10 minutes to the US border.

And wouldn't you know it, 3 Best Buy stores between us and Seattle (only 2 hours away) had several copies of the CE on their shelves. So I ran over the border and 2 hours later - I got my CE installed on my PC and Kuunie floating around me.

So.. my fellow canucks - if you are close to the border, I highly recommend a road trip to the States. I just called ahead and the store was kind enough to set a copy aside for me.

One final warning about EB Canada - 2 local EB stores confirmed that they were not going to receive enough CEs to cover their preorders. The store I had preordered my CE at said they were only going to get 2 copies (maybe tomorrow - maybe thursday...

). They had 4 preorders.

"frustrating" was a nicer word to describe it. xD.

Well. I called and called over the week it was suppose to arrive...waited and waited...for days and days...even called today..."not sure" was still their answer...I just said.../meh...hours past and out of knowhere...My ebgames got it this afternoon and called me.

The stuff in it are great. +the ingame stuff.

/I'd say wait. and try to get a somewhat accurate answer of what "date" they expect it to arrive (like from a document or actual data in their computer stating a specific date when it would arrive in their store). (ie. my store's stated Monday...came today...day late...but Im happy.) If they say like wait another month, then I would think you could get a full refund and maybe try another place.../GL.

My Sweet Revenga · May 10, 2006, 03:40 AM // 03:40

Far as I can tell, it seems that all the EB games stores I've called (Vancouver BC area) only got half or less than what they needed to fill orders. Anywhere around 1-4 copies. I mean for crying out loud. One store only had 2 CE preorders left (everybody else got tired of waiting and cancelled) and they only got ONE copy. Meanwhile there are stores all over the states with extra unclaimed copies sitting on the shelves. Is there a point to preordering? I must missing something here because you'd think it would be the people who preorder who get their copies first, not the other way around....

Coolniceronguy · May 10, 2006, 05:40 AM // 05:40

Picked up my CE today.

Woo Hoo!

Started /dancenew -ing with my ritualist, and oogling my new minidragon pet.

I was tickled pink, until ................

Net err 7 twice, and 2 code 5s within 1 hour of playing(server side, my connection is fast).

Inverse of Woo Hoo!

kengkoyto · May 10, 2006, 12:18 PM // 12:18

wow nice.. where did you get your copy?

striderkaaru · May 10, 2006, 02:08 PM // 14:08

i have a silly question for those who have already acquired their ce copies.

what is the graphic on the mousepad? is it nice? also, how is the quality for an optical mouse?

i've looked around, but i can't for the life of me find any details on what is actually inside the ce.
thanks in advance.

So anyway after I made my post (yesterday), I go out during my lunch time and visit a futureshop, buisness depot and then best buy with no luck.
I'm walkingback to the car and look at my phone and there is a missed call, I check my voice mail and wooot, EB called and they have CE

As soon as I was done work I flew to the mall and picked it up and Kunnie was with me the whole night. Even the wife loves him
I also sold my birthday present Troll since I have Kunnie now

Finally the wait is over.

Hi guys , could any of u be kind enough out take a close up picture of the content if the factions CE? much appreciated it...thx

Sir Skullcrasher · May 10, 2006, 04:35 PM // 16:35

From reading at different posts, i can see that if you have the SE account of factions loaded, you can't load in the CE without starting a new account or wipe out the old existing account. Can anyone confirm this with me.

skammich · May 10, 2006, 04:41 PM // 16:41

if you have an existing SE account of factions, you can add the key and you get the benefits (dances and mini pet), you do not wipe out an old account, you just add on the key to your account so that technically you have both the SE and CE registered to your name, I have done this on my account (I have GWP, GWP CE, GWF, GWF CE and both pre-orders on my account)
