Well I preordered the CE already. Itll come to my work instead of my house... that way I can look thru all my goodies before i get home and play all weekend. (notice the days of the week for the release, and then tell me that im crazy for 1-day shipping lol)

For those not getting/caring for the CE, but still excited about Nightfall---> will you still preorder and wait for the mailman?? Because if you think about it- for any of us, the easiest, QUICKEST way is to just add the Chapter from the store- right?

So tell me:

whos ordering collectors

others- are you preordering, or plan to use the store? (for basic package, id suggest using the store... any arguements?)

edit- by store i mean Guild Wars In Game Store

Pre-Order CE..
I don't have to worry about a store not carrying or out of the CE when I get there.

I would like to Pre order GW CE from the online store if possible and have it shipped to my house. I have such a disdain for the local EB Games store I refuse to order anything from them anymore.

The character slot with the pre order is bait enough for me to pre order; though originally I was going to hold off till I found if Nightfall actually had enough content to warrant the purchase.
I won't be getting the CE though... school costs and all.
On a lighter note, unlike Factions, I have little fear that Nightfall looks to be really good. I was worried about Factions being to much or what it actually turned out to be... Nightfall looks to be really good.

Maybe you'll get a Mini Trogdor the Burninator.

I'm going to pre-order CE; however, I will probably go do it through the local store as I did with Factions CE. I hope this time will be no dealy.

I will preorder GW Nightfall CE if my local Gamestop doesn't BS me about how they don't know anything about it when the EB store does allow the preordering of CE despite the fact there's no info on what's really included on the Nightfall CE package.

I'm going to get the prerelease bonus pack and CE from bestbuy. Even though they don't actually hold a copy for you; I've always found what I need if I go on the first day and you can just grab it off the shelf yourself so you don't have to argue with clerks that have no idea what's going on.

I dont have ANY faith in any physical Store when it relates to Games or preordering anything.

Thats why I buy the "Bonus Packs" (used to be called preorders) online from places like Amazon, then just pick up the game at my leisure (will probably get off the ingame store now).

I never buy the CE's anyway. If they offer it in the ingame store I'd buy it MAYBE.

It is foolish for me to order online when they don't give you the booklets and CDs (which means a crapload of downloading once NF comes).

I don't think I'm gonna pre-order online. I think I'll go to Gamestop to reserve a copy.

Not possible. The discription in the ingame store clearly says that all the good that are sold are processed through data transfer, and that no physical shipment will happen.

@ Tetris L

which is exactly why nobody ought to get Ce through online store unless you just want dances/emotes, which IMO is kind of stupid since you miss out on the soundtrack (unless they give download keys), booklets, box, manuals, artbook, mousemat/map/etc..

I'm torn between preordering the CE or buying the regular edition on the ingame store.

I think I'm going to get it if Amazon if possible, because I am willing to wait for CE and it will be for my B-day, which is already 24 days off.

SE at my regular EB games and if they have the CE on the day of release then I will pick it up the CE. I like the mini lore book, so I want the box, regardless of the collectors or not.

I'll be pre-ordering CE, and then just canceling my order when I find a better deal, have to move house first and change my billing address on card before I can do it tho :S Hope there are some left.
