As a side note, the guy who served me was the store manager and had NO IDEA how to use their pre-order system... Watch this space to see how monumentally they screw my order up this time...

We're working very hard with EB in Australia to improve player access to the game and special promotions, and we'll continue doing so into the future. |

well bonus pack needs to be out within the next 5 days..

Keep in mind that you don't unlock the bonus slot nor the bonus weapon until you add your full retail key for Nightfall. As such there's no reason you would need it in five days as you wouldn't be able to use it for the world peview event anyway. As long as you get it by Oct 27; you'll be fine.

I'll be happy.
Oh and get the BP stuff

Doesn't bode well for getting Nightfall on time does it?
Anyone from Anet care to comment?

I suppose ANet might have botched it again, but I doubt it.
More likely is that EB, or their importers are responsible for the delay.
EB imports all their stock to a head-office controlled warehouse, HO then decides which stores get how much of what stock, and ship it accordingly.
The best that individual stores can do is request X number of copies.

Checked with EB Games here in Christchurch, New Zealand (tried Northlands and Riccarton), neither of them have the pre release pack.

Went to Woden this time around (fairly randomly - I just happened to be there and saw the poster) and preordered there. The story I'm getting from them is that they haven't received them, don't know when they'll receive them, and when they do they'll go to the people who had the earliest preorders (and they'll call when they arrive). The guy did have the nerve to give me the 'don't believe everything you read' spiel when I commented that they were supposed to be available on the 15th, though...
Oh, and as a little bit of trivia, for those who aren't aware - Alex is originally from Australia. I'm sure he's paying close attention to developments down here...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know the direct contact details to EB HQ here in Australia? If fault lies with them, I'd like to have the chance to email them and ask for an explanation, rather than dealing with the individual store which doesn't get the full details anyway.
Linkusmax
I juust called EB Robina(I have a CE order there), They dont have it in but hope to have it by the end of the week.

Some of the EB stores in NZ dont have their prerelease bonus packs, even though they have advertised as having them...

(18th Sept)
checked with Perth City EB (WA) - "we probably wont be getting it until the game is released, to prevent people from preordering, getting the bonus disc then cancelling the order"
will check northern suburbs EBs later and post.

Yeah, that's what Perth City EB said to me. A little bit disappointing, I'm kind of worried by that because if they don't end up getting them there's no other way to get them that late.
Good luck with the other EBs.

I just got off the phone with the guy in charge of PC games at EB HQ Australia/New Zealand, and was informed that the GW:Nightfall Pre-Order Bonus Packs were shipped from their main wearhouse today. Most EB stores in Australia are within a 1 day delivery zone, but some of the more regional stores will recieve theirs on Wednesday. I apologize to all NZ players, I forgot to ask when you can expect yours.
I'd guess you should have them by the weekend.I also enquired as to why the packs were delayed, EB had to order the POBPs direct from the UK instead of from their domestic suppliers, which created a slightly longer delivery time.

I don't know where Lady Lozza got that information, check my last post.
Roshi_ikkyu
Order from the UK!?
Perhaps it's Anet's Euro offices,
wouldn't put it past them that it on a slow boat via China!
With there mad connections (Australia and New Zealand, english speaking countries in the Oceania district. Why we'll group them with Europe! >.> )
Edit: I'm sure it would help atleast having our mate Alex pop in to say something. Rather then letting us think we are neglected!

I usually go to the EB store in Belconnen Westfield Shopping Centre but they told me they did not have any ...... and I pre-ordered my Nightfall CE with them again!

Well there was no strikes or other unforseen delays but the prerelease bonus pack for Nightfall is not here! I went into my EB store (Belconnen) today: September 18th. and they knew nothing of the prerelease bonus pack! So can someone explain to me what's going on? Will be Nightfall a repeat of Factions? I sincerely hope not, this will definitely put me off.
PS. lg5000 - I live in Canberra too, so It would be so nice if you could tell me if and when you get the pre-release from Belconnen, thx.

Edit - Damn it, that would have been more effective if it hadn't ended up on a new page.

lol... so it's the weekend thing for NZ... *sigh* it'll be the PvE preview event by then...

I rang one local EB store today and they said quite definitively that they would have it in on thursday. So here's hoping...

Its whispers at best, they should have them by the end of the week.
Close to the 15th deadline.
What I really love is there is/was 3 threads I noticed, covering this topic and yet still no post from Alex or Anet community relations.
Feel neglected much!

Just had the telephone call from EB in Sydney to say they have pre-order boxes in today. A touch late.. but, could have been worse.

Yeah I just got a call from my local EB and they have got them in today.

Angelica, a phone call just confirmed that Belconnen has the preorder packs in store. Will check on that by showing up there tonight to pick it up.
Lyonette
just adding that i got a confirmation call from Queens Plaza EB in Brisbane City that my preorder packs are there and waiting for me ^_^
Shoitaan
Indooroopilly EB (Brisbane) has the packs today ^_^
I had some issues adding the keys though.. but thats a different story...
if anyone gets the prompt "the rights given by the key you have entered already exist on your account" or something to that effect know that I share your pain.. and for some reason even though the Nightfall Bonus key doesn't show up initially, it does after a while.. I dont get it either...
also, I dont have a bonus slot.. is that made available when the retail version comes out or something? :/

To answer your bonus pack questions; plz consult the sticky recently added to the Nightfall section. And they just released a patch that fixed the error message it gave you when trying to add the key.
