I know EB games just adds prices and release dates to have answers for customers.
Sadly it's not offical

Amazon has the expansion release set for Aug. 31. I know, I know. Unless you hear it from ANet, it's not official.

Well you can pre-order whether that's the date or not. You don't need to pay for it immediately, just put down a deposit, therefore you'll just pay whatever the price is when it comes out, not necessarily what's quoted to begin with.
I've pre-ordered from EB's here in Melbourne, and they said that if a CE is announced I can upgrade to that, and if any pre-release bonuses come out I'll get them as well.
Seriously, there's no harm in pre-ordering. It just means your guaranteed a copy when it comes out, whether it is before, after, or on that date.

Stores will add random dates if there is no official one. It's common practice.
Exactly why, I've no idea. Maybe it's just policy that all their products must have a date, and obviously they want to have future products available for preorder as soon as possible, so they just slap something on there.
I know I ordered a game in 2002 that was set for release in 2004, and got cancelled earlier this year. The preorder is still standing (release date 2008), and I'm keeping it up just for shits and giggles. My friend actually paid for his duke nukem forever preorder in like 1998 or something.
So, yeah, like people said above; it's not official until it's official.

Here's an even stranger one lol:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Guild-Wars-E.../dp/B000Q5FVOE
UK Amazon : "Availability: This item will be released on August 6, 2007. Pre-order now! Dispatched from and sold by Amazon.co.uk."
I highly doubt that the UK would get this 3 1/2 weeks before the US.
On another note... Google'ing GW:EN pre-orders brings up actual ordering pages from fry's.com and newegg.com. These 2 huge online electronics retailers have no reason to put these up for pre-order if they didn't get some type of information from Ncsoft. Add that to the information that Gaile said an announcement was coming very soon and I'd say that August 31 was a pretty solid date for GW:EN release.

So far I've heard 30th September (Play.com), 31st August, 6th August...
6 August??
wow, could they move it to the 5th so I can have it as a Birthday present? Please? Pretty please?
At this rate we'll arrive to: "GW:EN will be released TOMORROW!!! Pre-order now to avoid disappointment!"
EDIT: Just checked Play and saw they've changed it to 31st August too. I don't know if any info is leaking from Anet but it does appear to be August...
______________________________________________
Also, please note that Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com (which I take it are the same company) have different release dates! (6 and 31st August respectively)
Newegg.com are the best though: already Out Of Stock.

I thought the list price for Gw:EN was slated to be a bit lower due to the expansionary nature (i.e. not a "full" game). Was I mistaken? At Amazon, the list price is at $49.99, the same as the other GW games were when released. (Yeah, I saw the 'sale' price, but list is still the same.)

if thats the case then im betting amazon has a release date that they picked out of a hat
Yichi
I was talking to Gamestop at teh mall close to my house. They have the release date from NCSoft as being August 31st. I already reserved my copy
Mister_Smiley
Well if the are true to there word and such then you gotta beleve the date for Aug 31st at the latest since thats a fryday in Q3, but since its not offical from there website i would to say that we should wait and see till then.
Kos Luftar
Since ANET is going to be at Penny Arcade which happens around August 23rd I belive, I doubt the game will be released in August, probably September 28, they seem to like releasing them on the 28th!
Mister_Smiley
That is true, but then Anet should come out and tell everyone that they messed up and Q3 was wrong and its now sometime Q4, which will most likey piss off alot of people, well just have to wait and see. Won't we.

Not to be cynical or w/e, but what is the point in preordering if there is no preorder pack or release date? They haven't released the details on whatever different versions (if there are) they are making.
JeniM
The point of preordering even if theres no bonuses is : It beats walking to the shops in the hammering British rain

Why do people insist on making posts like this when the only information they have to go on is rumour (which is all those online sites are giving you until an official announcement) and probably flawed guesswork presented by other forum goers?

did you think really that SEPT was Q4 somehow?
and didnt all these different release dates give you a clue that they might be wrong ?
Mister_Smiley
Yes i am wrong becuase i keep forgetting that Sept is Q3 and not Q4, don't know why. Yes about the dates, hopefull they arn't wrong, but only anet and time will tell.
floppinghog
The stupidity is laughable at best. First of all, pre-ordering DOES NOT guarantee anything. Taking EBgames for example, they reserve the rights to deny your product and not send it on a timely matter. But basically seeing an unoffical "pre-order" has always been seen as a scam with eyes upon. I don't know why anyone would trust a retailer over the producing company? Do You?
And like someone else said too, 3rd quarter of the year is July -> September.

First of all, and most importantly....to Flopping Hog: Please consider the ramifications of your statements before typing them: Durka durka durka...you just caused me significant pain and damage to my keyboard as I have shot hot coffe out my nose onto my desk (you bastard!)...a friend of mine actually ended a "conversation" with a customer service rep for Sallie Mae with those very words...
Secondly, and within the topic of the thread: NEVER...EVER!!! EVER in Forever pre-order ANYTHING, ever for ANY reason from ANY retailer selling video games. Just Like Lethal Weapon 2 and what happens in the drive through....yes....that's right...they F*CK you in the drive through and they F*CK you in the pre-order. Dates don't mean diddley sh1t and you have NO rights or recourse when you don't get what you paid for, don't get it when they say it'll ship or don't include the promotional items as advertised....they will even demand more money from you if the price changes in their favor, but won't refund you any if the price changes in yours....they are evil, vile, reprehensible vermin and have no moral compass by which to stear their demented souls...I have literally been screwed out of EVERY SINGLE pre-order ever attempted....a total of 7 times from 4 different companies. In one case, I pre-ordered 4 months in advance for Nightfall from Best Buy and didn't get the pre-order promotional item....what pisses me off is that people who purchased the item in-store from the same location DID get it...Customer service and ANet e-mails about it over the course of three weeks ended with me returning the game unopened and a quick trip to ol' Freddy Meyer who never offers the false hope (THE LIES) that are the pre-order...F*CKING evil rip-off...DON'T do it. All it is is a way for the companies selling it to make profit off of your cash as it gains interest while you sit, empty-handed, waiting for your game to arrive. The agreement between you and the seller puts them at all the advantage and opens you up to vulnerability that no consumer would accept in any other market...The way it should be: they get your money and you get the game...better to just walk into the store where you can at least see the person take your money and HAND YOU A PRODUCT! <end rant>

august 31 has been the dummy date that software etc has had for months (like eb games, i believe software etc is owned by gamestop)
it's a dummy date but not likely to be that far off.
