That's.... interesting; but you probably should have posted that under the prerelease pack thread. Now you're just advertising......

I stumbled across this while trying to find who has the pre-release as a stand alone.

Nightfall w/ free shipping w/ free Pre-Release (Shipping both at same time at GW NF Launch)
$39.99 (MSRP $49.99) - http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4952281

CE Nightfall w/ free shipping w/ free Pre-release (Shipping both at same time at GW NF Launch)
$65.88 (MSRP $69.99) - http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4952311

The drawback may be 2-3 days shipping.

plz no more threads about the bonus pack; there is now a sticky in the Nightfall section for issues pertaining to the prerelease pack

I wanted to post this as a way to order Nightfall cheaper (it had free shipping / free pre-release kit) that's all.

None of these links are to order the pre-release by itself and theys ship with the game Oct 24th.

Holy crap! That's a great price! And free shipping (I think I looked at that correctly)! I was going to go through Amazon.com but to get the CE and preorder pack would be 69.99 + 14.99 + shipping = much more that what this site offers. For CE and Preorder pack is only 65.99 and I believe free shipping. That's a great deal.

It is! I just ordered two CE's, and since it's a little cheaper than everywhere else, I got the overnight shipping. Ends up being still a little cheaper than getting it at any local store and it will be delivered to our doorstep. Freakin nice.

I don't see where the bonus pack is included.
Did they change it already?

Same ... It says that Nightfall and/or Nightfall Collectors edition is available for pre-order. But nowhere does it mention the Pre-release Bons pack which every other retailer I've checked (online and locally) are charging anywhere from US$4.99 - $9.99.

I do believe they had a different offer posted on there before. Maybe they sold out of the bonus packs just like Amazon.

Kewl, thanks for letting me know. I was going to preorder it from amazon for $50 plus free shipping. However, the webpage does not say anything about the free pre-release pack except for the picture.

There is another thread with these links. But I'd advise you all to look again as they seem to be out of the preorder pack.

Bummer.... they must have sold out of the bonus pack like everyone else.

That was a great deal.... still the best price for the pre-order though.

will players that dont pre-order get the 2 extra character slots when they buy Nightfall and install it? Or am I going to get jipped and get none?

you get your 2.

The EXTRA one from the bonus is just that - Extra.

Outpost.com has had to remove the Bonus Pack from its deals and limit 1 per household they are so popular lol.

Has anyone else who ordered this gotten an email that its backordered? That coupled with the change in the product description (even though the product number remains the same) causes me to think they screwed up and didn't mean to offer the bonus/prerelease pack along with the full game for 39.99.

2 emails to them have gone unanswered so far - wonder how long I should wait?

Even if they don't preorder pack, this is a sweet deal. I mean you can just go to any Fry's Electronics or other stores to pick it up.

It's called pre-order. You still need to wait till October 27 to get the game.

Is this cheaper or just a time-saver?

It's cheaper compared with other places such as Gamestop, Ebgames, Amazon, Bestbuy to just named a few. But peoples are asking if this place give you the preorder box, which should include another extra character slot.

I'm in the same boat....

I ordered 2 copies of it with bonus packs and followed up with an email to them about making sure that I would get both and the bonus packs.

They replied with a generic response, that it's backordered which is just stupid.

So I asked them again to confirm if I'll get them - and if not just to cancel the order.... still awaiting a response.

I think they underestimated the demand for this.....

Anyone who ordered from Fry's, this is a word of warning. I ordered two copies of CE with bonus pack, about two days before this thread was posted, and now they're saying my copies are back ordered, and the "with bonus" is completely gone from my order.

I'm cancelling. Most likely will not be getting CE now, and just order from the PlayNC store.

I ordered early, then noticed the changed product page about three days later. I put my order number into their "Track Your Order" page, and it listed "Nightfall," not the Bonus Pack in addition. I emailed them three times over a week with no response at all. I called them this weekend; they said someone would email me an answer on Tuesday. That never happened, but I just logged on to their "Track Your Order" page again and re-inputted my order number, and I can now see both Nightfall and the Bonus Pack there. If you ordered early, you might try that to double-check.

The bad news is that everything shows as "backordered." I emailed to ask whether that really meant 'backordered' or whether a computer somewhere just popped that term up since the thing isn't in stores yet. Like before, no answer yet.

Yeah, they seem to be way over their heads on this, unless their support is always like that (first time shopper). I emailed them my cancellation a few hours before posting here and I still haven't heard from them. I might have to put a stop payment on that...

I cancelled my order from here. I'm getting the Pre-order for 5 bucks from Amazon, and I'll probably just go to a store to get the game on the 27th. It'll end up costing me more, but at least I'll know that I'm getting it in a timely manner...

Update on my email above:

Today I actually received an email back from Fry's. It said, in summary: We see that we have answered your question and will close this support case.

I have no clue what they're talking about. They still haven't answered my questions -- they haven't even emailed me anything but form letters. If they're not going to maintain a customer service function, at least be honest about it and delete their customer service contact info.
