FYI nothing in Australian EB's either

WinterSnowblind · Jul 23, 2007, 04:23 PM // 16:23

I had problems finding it in the UK. I hear certain GAME stores were selling them, but none where I live. I finally gave up and just ordered it from the ingame store. A little more expensive but oh well.

Nothing at my local EB games yet. They said like 15 people ask about it a day.

Surely the individual stores are responsible in some way for obtaining them? either somone has to ask 'central' to send them some, or order them from some kind of distributer. Ncsoft aren't just going to send them to every place that sells games and hope they get paid.

If noone who works at that store knows anything about it I wouldn't get my hopes up that they'll eventually get them.

If they didn't know about it several weeks before the release then they probably won't get them for a while yet, which could explain why many stores are still waiting for delivery

Checked my local GameStop today, the guy at least knew what I was talking about, but he said they didn't receive any, and he had no idea why. Then went to EBGames, they had no idea either. Then for some reason i checked Wal-Mart, they thought I was talking about WarCraft somehow...

I called EB game's Canadian headquarters. The fellow on the phone tracked down the shippment info. They were shipped out to Canadian stores on Friday.

Expect them on the shelves on the 24th or 25th. Just a heads up, for some fellow Canucks.

I called EB Games/Gamestop's 800 customer service number. The guy I talked to was saying that they hadn't received them yet, but they had been expecting to receive the pre-release packs between July 26th-August 1st.

*sigh* Believe I'm very annoyed by this too, and I told them I only give them my business because they're bundling the pre-release pack and the game together and saving me some money.

Still, they better have those pre-release packs before the Sneak Peek event or I'll be a very angry person with no choice but to buy a separate pre-release pack from the online store

Just got back from the local game store in my city and they had the Bonus packs for £1.99 which is cheaper than the online store. www.game.co.uk or visit your local store.

Jongo River · Jul 24, 2007, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Posted elsewhere, but I'll repeat it here: Amazon.co.uk, Gameplay.co.uk and hmv.co.uk are offering a free email code for the bonus pack, when you order the game from them - they're all charging around £17.99.

They all also have free shipping options, though obviously there's a (small) risk of not having the game when it goes live.

Lyssa Rowan Tree · Jul 24, 2007, 01:30 PM // 13:30

Amazon.co.uk have now updated their GW:EN page to include the line:

Order this game and we'll send you a Guild Wars Eye of the North Pre-release Bonus Pack.

So seems the availability is slowly growing.

neooki · Jul 24, 2007, 02:24 PM // 14:24

Nothing at my EB er Gamestop now games either, though they said that they would call when it arrives, hopefully it arrives, it better arrive.

Jebus · Jul 24, 2007, 02:26 PM // 14:26

I ordered it in my local computer shop, even though it's not listed on their website. They called me yesterday, and I got it today.

Purrrty box!

Thibor · Jul 24, 2007, 05:17 PM // 17:17

One day I'll learn. I pre-ordered two copies of GW:EN from Gamestop. I just called and they still have no clue when the preorder kits will come in. Very frustrating when they give you that "what's that" look.

sellars · Jul 24, 2007, 08:12 PM // 20:12

I called EB Games in Vancouver/Brentwood Mall in Canada yesterday and they told me they will have the Pre-release Pack by the end of the week. They encouraged me to call every day of the week. Called them today, nothing yet

Sujoy · Jul 24, 2007, 09:04 PM // 21:04

Oh yeah, I've been calling EB Games in Montreal and they all told me to call every day of the week, because they are expecting them by the end of the week. But one of the clerks said ""Sir, I'm not even sure if we are going to get them... we haven't heard from the distributor"

That remark keeps haunting, maybe he's just clueless?

LifeInfusion · Jul 25, 2007, 12:44 AM // 00:44

Nope not at the Gamestop nearest me (in New York City).

Also, the Gamestop clerk gave me an attitude when I asked if I could get the box (when it arrives) and not preorder seeing how it is a prerelease and not a preorder box. Basically he said that "you have to preorder" to get it.

I'm not preordering like last time with Nightfall, but I want the prerelease box for the Sneak Peek Weekend. There's no incentive when there's no Collector's edition.

lol, that War Craft part reminded me of the store clerk at my local GameStop when I asked him if they have the GW:EotN pre-release pack yet, his response was "Gears of War came out like a year ago...." I was like no, I said Guild Wars!

I'll probably give GameStop a call later this week to see if they have the pre-release box yet.

Thanks I was beginning to wonder as I checked most stores even Future Shop.

I pre-ordered at GameStop and they said they would call when the pre-release box arrived. I was also told to try calling in the morning to speak with the manager since he's apparently the only guy who works there who knows anything about PC games.

The employee explained that the individual stores would most likely receive the pre-release boxes based on pre-orders rather than prior to people pre-ordering the game itself.

Nothing in New Zealand, wonder if we'll even get it.
