I go it for "free" by overpaying for GW:EN .
It's a top quality product, everything is top quality about it but I must say it's NOT worth it, not worth 10$. It's too small.
(overcosted) GW:EN in the online store is 40$ and it's barely worth it compared to previous full campagins (it didn't add any slots nor storage tab).
BMP isn't 1/4th of GW:EN's content, it isn't even 1/10 of it. It's too small to put a price tag on it! It's more like "premium item shops" in the free to play mmos, because all it's about is the super-easy-to-get awesome looking weapons. New GW content is becoming more and more expensive.
so,whos going to buy the BMP monday?

Got it by buying GW:EN as wel, the missions are fun, but the weapons are lame, I wouldn't buy it for the weapons and stuff

I would probably buy it if the price came down. £5.99 is a rip off considering US get it cheaper. And judging by what people have said, it doesn't seem worth any more than £2.99.

Hmmm, I'll do all the titles I want first, if I still play GW by then, I'll see what the price is then and mebbe get it.
enmitee
lol on topic. its about who will BUY IT. not who HAS IT. lol just shows how bitter you guys are. pwnt ftw.

For those hoping to buy it from a local store, seems like you're out of luck.

I just spoke with our director of marketing, and he gave me a few more details on the availability of the Bonus Mission Pack: * The BMP will be an online purchase; that is, you will acquire an access key, not a boxed product. * You will acquire the BMP through e-tailers (online stores) and not at brick-and-mortar retail stores. * Many retailers have online stores, as you know. It's through them that you can acquire an access key. * Payment methods, which have been a stumbling block for some potential customers in the past, will be greatly eased by this offering, since NCsoft Europe is setting up a number of authorized sellers, and those sellers will undoubtedly have the right payment methods for their region. For instance, if credit cards are not commonly used in your country, but bank transfers are the norm, then NCsoft Europe will likely arrange to sell the BMP access keys through a partner that accepts bank transfers. * We will publish a list of website partners on January 28th, so that you can place your order right away. Because there is no "shipping" involved, it is possible that you may acquire your access key immediately upon placing the order. I hope this information is helpful, and will post more details as they become available. -- Gaile 01:23, 17 January 2008 (UTC) |

Hopefully this is through the online store of one of the major retailers in the United States (e.g. Best Buy). If so, chances are in a month or two you'll see a special promotion that will slash the price on this (to be on part with the value you're actually getting).

Well it did come out on my birthday, so I might as well, maybe it's a sign.

The box will be in my recycle bin anyway, guess I'll buy it in-store tonight maybe?
Kiebin
Yay, again Arenanet fails O_o
Ephidel
Well, I was waiting for it to release in a real store so I could go out and buy it the same day I got No More Heroes. Guess that's not going to be the case, though. A pity. Here I thought they were going to make a good decision in project sales and earn my money. I wanted the BMP, but not enough to buy it online like that. I can get weapons elsewhere in the game.
If I do ever buy it now, I think I'll just wait for another price drop.

It's monday so where is the list of online shop? In online gamestore there's nothing
Nomme Moon
LMAO, way to completely fail again, anet. You should NOT have published the retail store part if you were still in talks with how it was going to work.
*huge thumbs up!*

weren't you expecting the 5 $-£-Eur to cover the packaging, shipping, profit for retailers and profit for a.net right?
if they shipped bmp with a box in retail stores the price should have been at least doubled only to break even

As far as I can tell the only people that had a method to acquire it without crying over it did so during the promotion, they got screwed, and now the QQ'er are QQ'ing some more - who woulda thunk it!!!!! Yay - Anet made nearly *everyone* mad!

I never really expected it in stores with a box anyway, after all - 10 dollars? They would *loose* money doing that and any sensible person would have realized that. Or at least done what I did - wonder how in the heck the worked out making a profit in that and still get them to stock it then assume that they were only implying something not true as last time. Even if they just had a cd with a sleeve it would be loosing for most retailers just because of shelf space being at a premium let alone both Anet and the retailers turn a profit.

Now to the point, i would have loved to go to the store, pick my bmp box up and register it, but instead we are going to have to wait till anet releases the info on where to get it online, i have no problem with that, but i cant freaking wait for it, knowing anet they probably release the info around 12 pm in their time so it'll be around 9 pm for me, arghhh

I like having physical media- so I not only lost out on that when I bought EotN through the ingame store in order to qualify, but I paid more than I would have in a regular store. So I paid $40 for this thing that people are now getting for only $10.
Anet better not do this kind of promotion again, they stabbed themselves in the foot bigtime.
distilledwill
I am, i was disappointed when i couldnt get it the first time. Id bought all of my skill slots and bought the campaigns in shops before it counted. Im looking forward to giving it a go.
freekedoutfish
Am I the only one noticing the BMP isnt on sale? It doesnt apear to be the store!
Kamara
It's 8AM Anet time. Give them some time to get into work, have their coffee, read their e-mail and then maybe then, they'll switch the switch to make it live.
popsharp
not in my local game shops either

I got it bonus for purchasing GW:EN on my main account. I will be getting it for my secondary account. The weapons are just too good. All my heros said they would go on strike if I didn't get it. So I guess my hands are tied.

...tut tut!!!
Im now gonna have to wait till tomorrow I guess!
Tooplex198
I went out to Town to deposit my £100 Cheque and i come back and still no bloody BMP Rarrrggghhhh
WinterSnowblind
The usually don't put updates up until around 8 or 9UK time, so that's when I'd expect to see the BMP.. But yeah, the release of this thing is pretty silly, most people in the UK/Europe probably won't get it until tomorrow, or if the do get it tonight it will be pretty late.
And why did they choose to release it on a Monday, instead of Friday or something? I've just had a tonne of work thrown at me, and won't even be able to play it until the weekend now.
