With regards CE availability I will just disagree with Lady Lozza slightly. I can't say anything specific, however the CE should be easily available during release week. We know it's popular with you guys...

On a final note ... if I'm getting my conversions right, the servers should open at 17:00 AEST on Friday. Just in time for you to get home from work/school and get stuck in.

Thanks for the update Alex, I think Aussies will be a lot happier this time around. Good job.

Picked up my copy from Melbourne Central today, got out of uni early so stopped in and picked it up while waiting for the train.

Alex, as for time conversions it all depends on summer time, we're not on it at the moment (well I don't think we are... QLD doens't have DLS), if you (UK) are not - and release time is 7am, then 5pm it is here.

I picked up my CE from EB in Camberwell (Victoria). Much appreciated getting them out here so quickly.

The normal (non-air freighted) edition of PC-Gamer is also in at the newsagent, $11.95, if any1 wants a gray giant mini-pet.

Err even though one of the saleguys at EB told me yesterday that I couldnt pick up Nightfall, a different guy actually called me up today and said I could.. >_>

Picked up both my CE and my sisters standard. Entered the keys, no update to my "manage keys" thing which is disconcerting but I'm more or less ready for Nightfall

minus the fact that I dont have a DVD drive so will end up downloading all of nightfall

*sigh*

I can confirm Centrepoint Westfield EB (Sydney, Australia) has their pre-order copies of both SE and CE. Price is $99.95 AUD for CE.

TY NCSoft/Anet for delivering on time this round

Now the long wait until Friday night...

From what I can gather all the Adelaide EB's got them in on Tuesday, I have to wait until Thursday to get my CE from Rundle Mall EB.

We must have got ours at exactly the same moment.

Just a heads-up, if anyone is interested in trading the cardboard box that their CE came in for a slightly-damaged one (a bit of the front picture bit was damaged on mine and the back was a bit ripped too when I got my sticky stuff off) plus $20 Australian plus postage to me, PM me. I'm obsessed with the box.

Just a FYI: I got it from EB Robina Town Centre.

Nearly all of my boxes were dented. :S I think they got dropped cause a couple of the corners were smushed. :P

I chose mine out of a line-up (as it were), I'm particularly anal about these things too. Even worse when it comes to books!

Mine has a minor scratch, nothing noticeable, and certainly no dents.

Ditto.

Canberra (at least the EB in Belconnen) have Nightfall now. I had no troubles picking up my copy.

Booya, picked up a CE today at Dunedin's EB Games (NZ). Mmm...gotta love that new game smell...

Just out of curiousity, did everyone get "It's Just a Flesh Wound" and "Vow of Silence" as their skill pins?
