Personally I dont want it from the online store.

Im just amazed that all of the major online retail chains make no mention of the pre-release bonus back, even on the day of its release.

Why do Amazon and GAME appear to have no idea that this exists when they are GW retail partners?

why even have a pre-release pack online? why not just put the game in the store a couple days before the preview weekend and go from there >.<

i dont get how this pre-release package works.

it says it's selling for £3.49 at plaync.com

does buying the pre-release package automatically make me buy the retail version of gwen online?

or is this pre-release thing sold as a seperate item, a one time payment?

Its seperate.

They have stated however that if you buy the pre-release pack from them they will deduct its cost from the cost of GW:EN itself if you also buy that from them.

You could also just buy the pre-release pack from them and buy GW:EN anywhere else you like.

Before the weapons were available before the official release of the game, but not immediately after the pre-release. Patience, people.

As for the pre-release... it's called a pre-release for a reason. It comes before the official release. It gets people excited about the release, and gets people to reserve copies of the game.

That's the purpose.

so does anyone actually have the pre release pack yet? I was under the impression that if I walked down to my hypothetical local store I would be able to pick one off the shelf.

No idea, because its not even in the ONLINE store yet, which makes absolutely no sense.

if its not in store after the date has past, its called false advertasing.

Some people here say they got the pre-release in the mail.

I know Gamestop and EB Games know nothing about it, but I'm planning to buy from the online store anyway (as soon as it's available).

Online store or physical store?

Because Anet has no control over retail stores.

However, it needs to be in their online store at least - I thought that was the whole point!


EDIT: Is IS available at https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/St...egory=4#group4

I ordered my pre-release pack and added the key to my account. I assume the weapons will be accessed through the /bonus command, but, they aren't there yet.

please stop with these falsehoods... the bonus mission pack is NOT tied to buying gW:EN, you get it as long as you spend over £17/$29 in the ingame store, no matter what you spend your money on...

hell, you could buy three character slots, or a PvP unlock pack or two and still get it

Anyway, on topic, yeah, just ran into GAME here in chaltenham, £1.99 on he shelf and they aren't counted towards the preorder... thats stupid, that means buying from these stores the cost of the game just went up by £2

Right. An update that should arrive before the official release date of the game.
