well it's Best Buy... you wouldn't expect them to have it? But they do...
Quest For Fire
Just an FYI......these are starting to show up on eBay for sale. I just checked and saw at least 5 available. May not your best option, but a viable one nonetheless.

This sounds familiar o.O *twitch* I stopped in GameStop on the 23rd which is the same company as EB (both are printed on the back of my receipt) and the guy there is probably more of an idiot than a gamer, and he was telling me that they haven't recieved any and would only get a limited number of them so I ended up having to preorder the preorder *annoyed* I put my $5 down for it so they better get a shipment soon, or they'll be getting an angry, expletive-laced phonecall
and one less customer. They had an empty GW:EN box sitting right on the counter but no preorders.. very uncool.

At GameStop where I ordered GW:EN they didn't charge me extra for the pre-release pack as they saw it as a pre-order bonus. Of course now I'm just waiting for them to call me up when it comes in.^^

The Gamestop that I have in my town, I have 2 of them here and both had no clue about a pre-order and they didn't even know if they was getting one or not. I wound up having to purchase the pre-order from the online store, which I had no problems with but I find it quite odd is that they didn't even have a clue as to a pre-order for EOTN. When I pre-ordered from them when Factions rolled around I had no issues at all.

Anyways, today I went to GameStop again and the clerk said that they would receive the pre-release pack later in the evening or tomorrow so I'll give them a call tomorrow ASAP! He also said that 6 other people had asked about the pre-release too and that they'll have about 22 pre-release boxes for sale so I better hurry up and get it before it's all gone!!

Not arrived at Spain yet at least where I live. They (seller in Game shop) say that it would arrive next week but they are not sure.
HKSdivision
I just got back from GameStop and pre-ordered my GW:EN! Yay! They said the bonus pack might arrive later today otherwise next week! I also stopped by Best Buy and saw the bonus pack for $10 too but I didn't bother asking if the $10 goes towards the full price when GW:EN is released since I already pre-ordered mine at GameStop! Can't wait!

The Gamestop here says that they won't get them until August 15th. You would think that ANET would have gotten them out sooner, but this is probably NCSoft's doing to give the Guild Wars store a head start.

^^ I dunno cause I got mine from Gamestop in Hammond, Louisiana today!!

That's great for Hammond, but what about the rest of the state...

None to be found at any GameStop/EB Games in the state of Washington as of 4 minutes ago. Called a store, they checked their inventory as well as looked at a list of other stores, and he said the nearest store that had them in stock was in San Diego, CALIFORNIA.
Thanks a lot, NC Soft, looks like you forgot about an entire portion of the U.S.

I got my preorder today. You know, some of you might be acting a little harshly if the stores didn't have it in stock on the supposed prerelease day. For example my best buy usually runs a few days behind on new game/anime releases on some occasions. For some reason, I don't think that a prelease counts as a hot or high priority item that needs to be out that exact day.

The pre-release bonus pack from GameStop came in today for pre-ordering GW:EN at no extra charge (my $5 down payment counts towards the purchase of GW:EN).

Good news for Australian's, I just got a call from my EB saying that they have copies of the pre-release bonus packs, sweet!

My local Best Buy had nothing for GWEN yesterday. I wasn't surprised, since they had nothing for NF either, when it came out. I just want to know how much the game will be in the online store so I can decide where I'm going to buy from. Or if.

It'll probably be $40 in the online store just like everywhere else.

£25.99 or $39.99
depending where you are of course

Thanks for the responses. I like to have as much info as I can before I make a decision. I'm bummed now because the price at Fry's has gone up to $39.99, like everywhere else. I wonder if they'll honor their previous, $29.99 price? Wish I had ordered it earlier.

It is now July 29th, and my local EBgames still DO NOT have it in stock.

They should probably have it sometime this week, at least that's what they said in my area because the one that I pre-ordered at said they ordered the shipment on July 25th and it takes about 5 days or so to receive it.

From what I hear there are limited numbers, I'm counting my blessings for getting my copy over here in Australia. If we can get it I'm sure others will get there copies before the preview event, still have 4 weeks to go for that.
Lauryn
I have a quick question, what exactly is the pre-release pack?
I thought it allowed access to the sneak-peak event and gave the special weapons, yet GAME (a major UK retailer) is giving this with the actual game itself for £18 (about $36 I think)
Linky
So yeah.... I'm a little confused about what I'm meant to be buying... Or does that have everything?

Sir Green Aluminum
Pre-release is just supposed to be something free you get when you order the game, it's not the expansion. Oh yeah I found this on the guild wiki:
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/GW:EN...ase_Bonus_Pack
Availability
The GW:EN Prerelease Bonus Pack became available through the Guild Wars In-Game Store on July 20, 2007 and will be sold in the in-game store through August 31, 2007. Retailers may have made their copies available on that date or soon thereafter.
[edit] North American Availabilty: 30 July 2007
Information received this date from the North American Vice President of Sales and Marketing provides some insight on store availablity. It's important to note that stores do not expedite shipment of their supplies of pre-release products, and therefore the "shelf date" is not as formal as that for a game release. This is by no means a complete list:
Canada:
FutureShop Canada -- in stores Monday/Tuesday week of July 29
EB Games Canada -- mid-week week of July 29
United States
Fry's -- in stock and has had inventory since mid-week last week.
GameStop and EB Games US -- 80% of these stores will have the PBP in stock by Tuesday of the week of July 29
We recommend that you telephone your local retailer to inquire if the store has received its shipment of the PBP.
Please note: In addition to ordering the electronic version of the GW:EN Prerelease Bonus Pack through the Guild Wars In-Game Store, you can also access an electronic pre-order through GameStop.com, EBGames.com, Outpost.com, CompUSA.com, and Amazon.com.
I wish they would have said something about it being available July 29th instead of saying it was available July 20th at stores. Mine's not open yet so I can't check.

My local GAME had the GWEN pre-box on sell for a week and a bit now, price at £1.99. If you pre order it make sure you get the preorder box, cus if you dont you won't be able to get the key code for the preview or the weapons.
And it will be to late for the sneak preview if you get the preorder box together with the full game box.

Hi Guys,
I went into Game on Saturday and obtained the Bonus pack for £1.99 inside was the bonus key booklet containing the Bonus key code to release the bonus items
It seems Game stores vary from store to store
this I obtained and have my pre -order game from a cheaper supplier than Game

Just got it from EB Games in Montreal, Quebec (downtown). Been visit there for the 5th times. 5$ CAD as deposit, no tax (Discount toward retail copy)

Yay! I just got my PBP at GameStop! It looks like they had only a certain number of PBP's at the store unless they had more in the back because when he opened up the drawer, I only saw my box in there; other people must've picked theirs up early since I did come in pretty late.
But what kinda stinks is that I'll get my GW:EN on September 1st instead of the 31st since the game ships out to them on the 31st but goes on shelves the 1st

The shipping date is on the 31st which is a Friday not Saturday but it will be on the shelves at GameStop the 1st. I didn't get NF right away so I have no idea about that mess.
My Green Storage
Not sure about the mess of NF that was mentioned, if it relates to shipping delays?
All I know is I went to Best Buy on October 26th at around 10:15am (Opens at 10am), they had it out on the shelves.
I recall the release date was suppose to be the 27th?
Unless that was outside of the US.

Unless that was outside of the US. There was never a problem for the actual game... (got it on launch night, CE version) but it was that "prerelease" that is next to impossible to find. It ended up taking me all the way till mid December to actually be able to find a store that has a Nightfall prerelease bonus pack... one and a half months after the game is released it is finally available.
Same goes for GWEN. The prerelease, again, is still no where to be found.
PS. And I still can't find the Factions prerelease till even now
