Any Stores carrying Nightfall Prerelease yet?

Well I was hoping that we would not see a repeat of Factions Pre-order disaster. Again to a huge disappointment the blank stare on the guys face at Gamestop, when he paused to think if they got the prerelease pack I knew the answer was no.

Looks like it’s going to be worse this time around,

I don't get it ... I know how companies work ... obviously Amazon EB Games and Gamestop paid for advertisements on the Guild Wars website. You would think there would be some competence for getting this item out to the public because of advertisement. If I were ANET I would be removing the Gamestop and EB Games tag ad’s from their website and telling them THEY are giving ANET bad publicity for not carrying their product when it should be out.

The sooner we can just order these items form the in game store for delivery the better.

Thank you Amazon for at least saying you are out of stock.

I was disappointed as well by the pack not being at Best Buy yet, and, like everyone else I saw 9/24 on the website. I'll just periodically check a bunch of places.

Now, a lot of people feel ripped off about the $9.99 thing. I don't know who remember's Best Buy when Factions came out, but they formatted everything exactly the same, and all you had to do was bring in the pack and the receipt when you go to buy the full game of Factions. The $9.99 is credited toward the final purchase. I'm convinced that Nightfall will work the same way, there is absolutely no evidence it won't be.

One funny note was that the guy tried to keep the pre-release pack when I got the full version of Factions and I had to work a bit to convince him that I needed to keep the disc. I suppose I could have used it for $10 off another copy of Factions, but that would be ridiculous since there were still some preorder copies left on the shelf so anyone could get the pack with Factions for free even after the release date.

Whoever got their Pre-Release pack at CompUSA should receive some kind of award. I just called my local store (in VA) and was told that CompUSA doesn't carry that item....at all.

Gamestop, this afternoon when I went in, I was told that there was no such thing, but when I called this evening, was told it should be in tomorrow.

Best Buy doesn't have it, and I was told that NO video game was EVER released on a Friday, including Pre-sale/Pre-release packs.

This is beginning to feel like the whole Factions fiasco of "Shelf Date" vs "Shipping Date" all over again.

I got mine in Game (UK) for £1.99. Virgin are also doing but for £4.99 (riping people off as usual) HMV are only giveing it to people who pre-order from them.

Overall I feel gypped by this, especially since the time window for the preview event is smaller then Faction’s. I think I will be singing “If I only had a crowbar and a corporate stooge.” I mean can we be honest about the day and label the day of the 15th as an official scam for the U.S.

It is a scam .. but its not ANET's fault... I blame NC Soft 100%

Me and my hubby picked ours up at Compusa here in Oklahoma City, OK They only had 4 left!!

CompUSA in Arlington,Texas has one left.

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC----


OMG, you have the same set of speakers I do!

ahhh...see....I just dont live in the right place...

Really? COOL! I Love mine

Gamestop, EB, BB, CC, and Target in Green Bay, WI all had no idea what this was or that it was supposedly going to be released today. Makes me feel confident about getting my CE on release day this time around....

So, is ordering online better?

It would seem so, then the only problem is them not getting enough copies due to production problems, if that happens again too.

I wish Amazon.com had the preorder pack available...or at least the CE for Nightfall so I can preorder something.

I got the Prerelease Bonus Pack from Compusa this morning and I live in Virginia too!! I got it at the Woodbridge location. After me there was only one left on the shelf though.

They are closed now but I called 5 minutes before closing and they have four left. One was reserved for me at the Customer Service Desk, so I need to be there when they open. $4.99, refundable with purchase of the game.

Can someone answer some questions about it please?

1. Do I need to wait for the full game to get the extra character slot?

2. How do I access the free items now?

3. How can I play the WPE if all my character slots are full?

1. yes

2. /preorder

3. You can make a new account. It's a world preview event and everyone can participate even if they don't have an existing account.

So once you haf the code to get the new items (Sunspear and Soulbreaker), from that point on, whenever you make a new character, you can just type in that code and out comes 2 new customized weapons in your inventory? Is that right, or at least on right track?

-yes.
