I gotta say, god I love outdated pricing. It's $9.99 US and $12.99 Canada. Today our dollar hit $0.98 US, and has been over $0.95 for quite sometime, so we're actually paying $12.73 US.

Thanks for providing a working link though.

Not sure if this helps anyone but most box stores have vendors that come once a week to load the mag racks. So you may have to wait a little longer Wink at the cashier and ask them when they normally come in. (At least in my rural backwoods bum foo Egypt location that is how it is)

The 25th is when Halo 3 launches...
Good luck getting people on the phone about a special Guild Wars magazine!
(no-one I've talked to in San Antonio has even heard about it... of course)

I just hope that several copies get put on eBay. As I'm in England, I'll not be able to get hold of one of these easily.

I sooner spend money on armors or weapons instead of a useless little things that runs around and maybe makes a sound (if your lucky). But people do anything to make a fast buck and make their e-peens as large as possible.

even if it's only american, europpeans will just go to american server and within one week, everyone will have one of those lol.
how much copy of PCgamer magazine across ALL america? more than 1 million. 1million destroyers=5k ingame in 1 month. same thing a asura. if you have one now, sell it fast before it drop in price.

I'm just not expecting great customer service as I call every gamestore and bookstore in San Antonio...
(well, I guess Bookstores won't care. It's not like the last Harry Potter book release or anything)

While early bird North Americans will make 100k+.
BTW, Pc Gamer's circulation was around 300,000 in 2005, so I doubt they'll be printing 1 million of these.
"PC Gamer continued to meet its rate base of 300,000, maintaining its category leadership in circulation. As per the FAS-FAX report, the magazine’s circulation is more than 45% larger than its rival Computer Gaming World (CGW) and outsells CGW on newsstand by nearly a 3 to 1 ratio. The FAS-FAX report also demonstrates that CGW’s circulation decreased by 15% since the prior period (December 2004 ABC FAS-FAX report), while PC Gamer maintained its rate base guarantee."

EDIT: old article, circulation is larger by now, but certainly not up to a million

I have to drive an hour to get mine, so I called ahead and so far nothing yet.
I am betting I won't see it until the 25th or later.

Well, i'm kinda more interested in the actual magazine, since the other minipet magazines have just a little GW, which is all i read in PC gamer.
Goin to look at fry's but i doubt they will have it lol.

Sadly you can only get 1 per account unless you have 2 accounts. Also any news of the mag over here in the US? Or did Canada get the 1 week headstart on releases?

LoL at all the people saying Europeans are going to get screwed by Americans and that this mini will cost BIG $$$. Have you learned nothing from the Grey Giants and the Asura minis? This mini won't be worth anything, no matter how cool it looks, because it will be UBER COMMON.
Neo Nugget
I hate being in such a magazine deprived town lol.
They had pc gamer but no special issue. Any at barnes and noble?

Please keep in mind: The official "shelf date" really is the 25th of September. So don't despair -- the Special Guild Wars Issue may well be available to you on or around that date!

I went to kmart today (not sure if I posted this or not) and found at least where the pc gamer mags are. It was not there except the farcry one. So I'll just go tomorrow and the next day and next day and next day....
problem is my kmart is UNGODLY remote. we live literally 20 miles from any other big name store like meijer or whatnot. Its the only big store in town... and because of that we usually get things later than everyone else here in michigan. IT SUCKS. Never EVER bank on anything being here on time.

hm i just looked at the cover of the mag more carefully. says to display till christmas... hopefully they have enough copies to even make it till christmas.

So this is one per account?
I'd say lame, but anyone who pays for a magazine more than once just for a mini is lame themselves.
I guess it prevents theft, which is a good thing.
Can't wait to get mine.
It'll be my second mini that I actually want.

| Anet NCsoft only lets one Australian and New Zealand games company distribute there product, EB games. Which means we have to pay what the decide to charge. Anet could help the problem by making the games a general items, sold in a varity of places. But thats not likely to happen |
Quote:
| As for the Delays, for factions release Anet over looked, forgot or just plain decided to release the games from there European storage house late for Australian/New Zealand release. They directly admit its was there shipping fault. For the Gwen release it was an EB games side, I created a thread to defend Anet in that case. For the collectors of Nightfall there was yet again a delay, I'm unsure as to whos fault that was. |
Quote:
| Then how about the ingame store, where we get @#$%ed over in exchange rate because we can't decide which currency to pay in. And in the End you buy a access key for around $10-$20 more then what the game costs. |
Quote:
| More importantly not only are you flaming other forum posters for there personal views and comments but your promoting a bigoted attitude towards an entire country. Does it really impact your life is an Aussie is unhappy with the service rendered by a game?... No but then posting prejudices against them on a basis of ethnic group or there nation is no better then racism. |

Right now I'm more interest about GW2 info from the magazine than the pet itself. So far I heard that LA will be no more, Orr will rise from the deep, Dragons are everywhere.
Kryta will be a main area for all races, Cantha will be 10 times worst than it is now and Kurzick & Luxon will be no more, Elona will be under Palawa's control. Sunspear will be all but wipeout while the Whisper order remain hidden in the shadow.
So if anyone has the magazine and like to post or make a new thread about real GW2 info that would be great.

is there an isbn number available?

And even if they are... what makes you think they'd print copies without cards in?
I seriously hope they wouldn't be that evil...
Though I'm strongly considering purchasing multiple copies of each if I can anyway. Total waste of money perhaps... but that is what I want to do.
