Same exact thing happend to me, just got off the phone with gamestop and they said then never even heard of the pre-release pack. idk....also just read the gw website which says it hits store shelves sept 15.....today and under their list of places with it i see EB and Gamestop...both of which dont have it.
A normal slot goes for $9.99 in the GW store. You get a chracter slot + a lot of promo material with two ingame items that make great starting items. I look forward to the disc for the 2-5 audio cd tracks myself.
The problem is Anet made the package but allowed venders to use it however they wanted. Ebgames does @ $5.00. Other are going to charge $10.00 for it. Some may even give it away free as part of the pre-order.
I have my CE Nightfall pre-order with EB (tempeting fate again).. but I will stop by Best Buy and they will proable have it and have to pony out $10 like last time.

Ok..thats all well and good...i didnt get any other thing than the actual factions game for $49.99 US. Can someone just plz explain to me why the pack is not available for $9.99 at our local dealers today to buy like it says on the main website? doesnt say anything about gettin it when you buy the game in another month and a half.
Best Buy On-line Store has it as a stand alone:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....=1156607201137
for $9.99 and it releasing on 9/24/2006.

Yeah 9.99 same price as a character slot lol. Which goes back to my main point that this is just a way for them to get you to buy extra character slot!!!!!!!!!!
You don't even have to buy this package to preorder the game itself since the bonus package is a standalone lol. So since no goodies with preordering I will just wait to release day. Anyways in my opinion this package should have been free with your preorder of the game like they did factions.
oh well

I went to my local uber-CompUSA. They didn't receive any copies of the pre-Release. ('Tho I suppose I should be impressed that they actually knew what I was talking about.)
Oh my.
Kudo's to ANet for producing games that have had only two rollbacks/issues in two years. Kudo's to ANet for totally bucking the MMO common wisdom and offering their game free of monthly shackles.... urm, fee$. Kudo's for great community relations. Kudo's for writing some really tight code. Kudo's for making their unique server concept work.
But maybe they ought to put a few more resources into communicating with retailers and their distribution network.
Blech. Is it that important to have 9 instead of 8 slots?
EDIT: BTW --- Grats to K. Sith for getting the goods! I'm happy to see that some players will have success.

I bought the bonus pack in person from Compusa. It was $5 but if you bring in the receipt when you buy the full retail version, they deduct the 5 bucks so it's really free.
