Best Buy guy: No but you can order it online

Does anyone know where the heck I can get the preorder package in Canada in stores?

I like how you explained it. But my suggestion is to either order it online, or wait. I know in an FAQ that Arena.Net said it would take longer to get it shipped to Cananda specifically, but that it would be up there in time.

Alright, I preordered this from EB here in Canada, and the guy told me he didn't know anything about preorder package. He took my order of GW factions and put me on the list but I didn't recieve anything except for the receipt.

Can anyone tell me what to do here since I have no idea if I'm am going to get the preorder items on not.

I've been periodically hitting all of the main gaming-oriented stores this week to get the preorder kit for GW:Factions, but nobody has it... I've tried Electronics Boutique, GameStop, Bestbuy and CompUSA... all of them 3 times since the 28th.

Has anybody else seen it come in the stores?

my eb games doesn't have it yet

EB Games is becoming very disappointing, the problem is that where i live EB has no competition so they can do basically anything they want, except for Rhino games but they dont sell computer game

EB games is slow in getting their shipments it seams. But since we are getting snow right now thats going to most likey hurt it and push it back. But i think that as long as i get it before the game is out, i will be ok.

Since there are still questions, here's my post from last week.

The key gives you access to the Preview Event on the 24th. You don't really get any additional benefits until you purchase and add a GWF retail key.

Right those will be given out the day of release. Thats what happened originally for prophecies, I did not see my items until the first day of release. (during the beta events non of those items showed up) and it also has been mentioned that you will get those items once the release is here.

be patient they will be in your account

The problem is we do have those items...

But only on PvPs and newly created RPs. So either we shouldn't have 'em yet, or there's a bug floating around here.

ok! im soooo confused.
so, is the preoredr a completely seperate thing that costs 10 bucks? so if you get it, you still have to buy the factions game for full price? for a total of 50+10 dollars?

Preoder is the same as when you preorder any video game or movie. The price of it goes as a discount towards the final buy, so GW:F will only cost you 40$ if you get the preorder, and if it costs 50$ base price.
