WARNING WARNING WARNING!!!!! This Vendor is a VERY VERY BAD SOURCE...
EBGAMES had a preorder item so they drew in many orders for the game.
In my case they not only did not send me my game till almost 4 weeks after the release(even though I had it preordered for almost a year in advance), but They sold my billing information to a 3rd party that used that information to bill my credit card for fraudulent subscriptions to something called reservations rewards or something like that... Took me 5 months dealing with the bank and FBI for fraudulent charges, and finally having to change my CC account to get it corrected... I will never do business on EBGames site again...

In my case I missed the fine print option to opt-out of a subscription to this thing, that was default to accept at purchase... however it appeared NOWHERE on my billing statement... It just magically showed up on my CC right after the purchase of the preorder. But they used that as legal means to bill me for almost 3 months worth of $9.00 for this service, and it took a LONG time to get it off my record and get my money back.
Just letting the community know. EBGAMES is not to be trusted at all. I had forwarded the police report to arenanet as they wanted to kept apprised of the problem cause they got many such complaints from this vendor. Hardly worth the trouble for the Preorder bow if you ask me...
ah yes.
