Buy GW:En in the online store today GW:EN came in the mail @ the my work (a gameshop).
the box is a disepointment no real nice stuff you need only a game card and a nogood manual.
the world map who came with it is kind of laim.
So it isn't worth buying for the booklets and stuff.

That's good to know. Now I don't feel as if I am missing out on something by buying in game.

That's actually pretty much what I was expecting. How big is the map and the manual?

If I'm not mistaken you can download and print the map anyhow (and if you want high gloss print it on photo paper ;-) )

this is where I show that I haven't read everything though: When can we 'buy' GWEN in the store, I did the pre order, but I don't remember reading anything about obtaining the full version at a certain time.

Come on Xan, the pre order is just that. You pay money to reserve (and in this case, get access to the sneak peekl) the game. Once the game is made available, you will pay remainder of the balance to get the full version. It works just like pre ordering from say, Gamestop.

I know what I paid for with the pre order, but to be honest that was my first pre order, I'm not really one to be first to jump on the bandwagon when it comes to games. And with campaigns I prefer to have the box (with all it's fixins)

Oh, well no one knows when they will put the full game up for purchase. I am guessing (Hoping) Thursday night. I'd hate for there to be a situation similar to what happened when the pre-order was made available.
