I was going to throw out a link to an existing thread about this that was already a couple pages long but it seems to have dissapeared........

anywho, I think the general concensus was that most people were going to order from game.net

They don't have it on the game.net site! They have the pre-order at £30 but not the pre-release bonus pack. Infact nowhere I've looked has it available at all over here. I even went into a Game store, in Hanley, only to be met with blank vacant stares by the clueless idiots behind the counter. They didn't even know there was a pre-release bonus pack available!

Guess we're not getting it.

Gaile was concerned about Australia getting it, but I'm sure Europe will.
lol
Wait til it gets closer to the 15th and I'm sure it'll pop up somewhere.

It's odd though... "everyone" has preorders for the collector's and standard edition of Nightfall - but I can't seem to find this "pre-sale" bonus pack anywhere. Perhaps anet/nc fumbled their marketing?

I think i heard Australia is handled by Europe NC.

Anyway, i can't seems to find them on Game sties and anyother major game sites such as play, they got the Pre-Order for CE and SE, but not pre-release and 15 is near.

Gameplay are offering the pre-release pack (well, the 2 keys) as part of the pre-order for both SE and CE...still waiting for them to confirm if the extra bits (Mini strategy guide, concept art, screenshots, in-game renders of characters and items, preview trailer, wallpapers, lore, quick reference card, music, and more!) will also be supplied...

Nowhere I can see in the UK is actually offering the pre-release pack as a seperate purchase

Well, I've just got back from a tour of all the computer game stores in the local area! Not once did anyone know anything about a pre-release package. The only thing I was offered was the chance to pre-order the actual game.

It'd be good if someone fron ANet or PlayNC told us the official line on this, either here or on their respective sites.

Maybe for the Dutch, but not for us in Blighty. We aren't in Europe!

It says wait til next week and Alex will reveal the secrets of life, the universe, and everything; but most importantly details about the prerelease pack in Europe. If you're lucky, he might even say something before Friday when it goes on sale

We're getting there . Just hold on a little longer and hopefully we'll have the information you need on the official EU websites.

In response to Knightsaber's comment, I can confirm that we shipped a large number of Pre-Release packs to Australia and they should be arriving this week, ready to be on shelves on the 15th.

Surprisingly; that site actually mentions the prerelease pack and what not.
lol

What's creepy is how much the layout of the site ressembles gamestop...

Dude, look at the section labeled "features";
not only does it mention the prerelease pack but it sounds like it's included with no extra fee

Neither of them two are the pre-order packages. I am going to pre-order the Collectors Edition of Nightfalls but for now I just want to pre-order the pre-release Nightfalls box. Is't the pre-release meant to be out for this Friday (15th)? 2 days left and still no sign or mention of it in any UK based stores?
