True, but IMO I think it's stupid for people to order off the internet when they live in a city where they actually have these stores. I know I would like to have a Gamestop by me.

Game Stop is the biggest rip off ever. They give you like 5 dollars credit then resale the game for 40 dollars. I'd rather buy a new game for $45 instead of $50+tax off Amazon then resell it myself for $25.

Down with middle men...we don't need you.

They probably thought it was the actual game. And if they didn't they must be retarded.

That’s what I figured why buy the starter kit that is offered on the online gamestop page when there is a store in town. Problem is the stores are clueless about the package right up until of the events.

Factions someone screw the pooch, this time with nightfall they lost the pooch and just screwed what was in front of them. Gamestop stores don’t know anything unless the people that work there play Guild Wars other then that’s it’s like talking to a brick wall. I preorder and I made sure that it included the full version and the pre-release bonus pack, what I got instead was to pay an extra five bucks for the pre-release pack.

Can’t wait to see how bad they screw up the next chapters release, should we start a pool?

Perhaps if the retail industry didn't complicate the process of buying from them, and then charge us above and beyond what the company does, we would be more eager to seek their services.
Until I pay what it's worth (and only a little extra for their profit), and don't have to deal with the hassle of the unorganized results of their laziness, I have no sympathy for this foretelling of their unemployment. Whatsoever.

Pre-ordered from Gamestop. Did it online. $54.99 for Nightfall + Bonus Pack, totaled to $63 with tax and shipping. Need to confirm them with a call tomorrow though, as they said that can't be positive that they have the Bonus Pack in stock. Seems better than Amazon. Not sure when the Bonus Pack is coming though...need to ask about that as well.

Pre-ordered mine from Outpost (fry's online) for $39.99 and they gave me the presell for free. Of course, the presell shows backordered to, so I hope I get it.

BTW, this deal is dead, although you can still pre-order just the game for $39.99.

QFT.....

Ffs, all they have to do is stay informed. When the public is more informed than the retail outlet, it's bad. It makes the retail outlet look like lazy, ignorant morons. It's bad management. Bad management = decreased sales (customers go to more informed sources) = decreased profits = closure. It's not the customers fault that you will be out of a job when your store closes. It's yours. If you had performed well and at a fair price, customers will support you. People still like to see another person when they make a transaction. You only have to work a little.

i got mine at Fry's and i plain to give them a call down the line to find out if they will be putting out the game when they get it stock or if they will wait till the 27th. I normal just find it easyer to go to stores, but then again thats just me. I did try Best buy, hell went to the too stores that aren't that fair from me and neather had them, so i waited a day and went to fr'ys and they had a crap load of them in stock. So as i said before, i got it their.

Not true. I checked fry's and now they want more for Nightfall. The shiping is no longer free, although cheap. And the game itself is like $46 which+shipping is closer to $50 Amazon charges. I rather spend 4 extra bucks, but order from a company which despite delaying orders and shipping dates, still can be trusted to deliver your order safe and sound.

Also, Amazon now has the pre-order pack for $5. With the cheapest shipping it's $9.97. I rather spend 5 extra dollars, then spend 30min driving to Circuit City/Best Buy/Comp USA and standing in a long line, just to find out they dont have it in stock, or dealing with a dumb salesman who doesnt know what Nightfall is.

The pre-order box, by itself, is 10.00. This DOES apply towards the game.

When you buy BOTH products AT THE SAME TIME, you get a $5 discount on the pre-release bonus pack.

..but again..

You would still only get $10 towards the game when it comes out (not $14.99).

The packaging doesn't make this clear (or maybe I'm just really tired, heh).
I havent seen a preorder box, only pre release bonus packs at stores. Can you show me art work for the "pre order " box. Because I don't believe there is one.

Also Best buy just shipped my pre release bonus pack I got my notification today via UPS ground. They had been sending me back order notices once a week. I guess they finally are in.

Strangely if it was a headset piece that they would put it out for sale as an open item. I use to work for best buy, and any device that basically goes on your head/in your ears, headphones, headsets, whatever, they were sent back to the manufacturer/field destroyed, because of hygiene purposes.

I vowed to stop doing buisiness with Best Buy. I went in for a headset/mic that cost around twenty dollars. I saw one that had clearly been repackaged, and so I inquired as to why instead of costing eighteen dollars as it was marked on the isle, that it was twenty three dollars. I was informed that this was due to the "Restocking Fee"... Bog, charge the person returning the item, and the next customer to purchase it both a restocking fee? That's ridiculous... [/rant]

Wow that's messed up. Can anyone confirm this with a link?

I just bought the pre-release bonus pack for 9.99$ from BestBuy today.
