That is very unfair tbh. You shouldn't be allowed to sell pre-order things at a reduced price.

All the more reason i'm not getting it preorder. I paid £18 for my 2nd copy of GW from play.com.

Whats more i still don't get how you update 2 accounts of GW to Factions

What is that in American Dollars? It does see unfair... they must be selling it at a loss?

I wouldn't be surprised if they "run out" of CE, and ship the regular edition instead...

I dont think they ship the pre order box before the 28th though.. and they may not even include it anyway. But its only about £2 to buy it from GAME stores (UK).

I haven't preordered mine yet, but I'm looking for a cheap place to do so. How much is that in American cash?

£21.97 Gbp = $38.8690 Usd

£29.97 Gbp = $53.0225 Usd

So yeah, quite a bit cheaper.

38$, that's pretty cheap. Is it a trusted site? I rarely buy from sites I don't know anything about. Can anyone verify that they have recieved the preorder package from this site?

If it is a shady site with prices that cheap, I bet something will go wrong in the shipping... it may take months, or god forbid, years!

Tesco is the largest retailer in Britain and supposedly the 5 biggest in the world.

It is supposedly pretty fast and safe for buying online, don’t no about deceiver to America though

Yes it would be right - with all the special offers we get in the UK we rarely pay RRP for anything. A few examples: Guild Wars 1 was £17.99, Civilization IV £17.99, Oblivion CE was available for £24.99 delivered recently (these were PC releases btw).

Tesco is one of the biggest if not the biggest supermarket chain in the UK and regularly have special offers like buy 1 get 1 free, get 3 for the price of 2 etc as I do the shopping there weekly.

The SE is the original Chap 1 of GW, and yes tax is included (under UK law goods for sale to the general public have to be shown with VAT* of 17.5% included, only businesses that sell to other businesses who can reclaim VAT are allowed to price things as + VAT). The UK office supply company Viking-Direct are a good example of this - the business site is priced without VAT added, but the general retail site is priced with VAT included - this is because businesses can reclaim VAT but the general public cannot.

*VAT = Value Added Tax the UK/European version of Sales Tax. People from outside the EU can buy EU products and have the VAT deducted - quite a few stores have signs up about this for tourists.

They have Guild Wars Factions up at £21.97 (says a saving of 27%) and Guild Wars Factions CE up at £42.74 which is only a saving of 5%.

Shipping cost would make up for the low cost, for the people in America that is.

I think I will order Factions from play.com which is at £27.99. However I'm not sure, I remember I bought the original GW at £17.99 when it was released (not pre-order)! Is it so expensive because it is a pre-order or what?

Thats because in America we don't have discounts on GW unless it has been 2 or 3 months past release date.

Well, Amazon.com has is shown at $44.99 instead of the usual $49.99 (and an extra $30 off if you sign up for a credit card). The reason I am leaning not to go that way is that I have no idea how much it costs for shipping. You have to pay extra to ship separately (because you want the preorder package first for the early access key instead of waiting until Factions is released) and then you want to pay extra for 1 day delivery unless you want to go without Factions for a few days waiting for it to be shipped.

Also, the Best Buy preorder online started out at $39.99 but was updated in a few days. I would bet that if people actually bought it at that price, they would end up charging an extra $10 later.

£21.97 Before Now £28.49.

Better hope they dont change the price for the CE as well.

Cos £29.97 for CE and £28.49 for Normal its a bit unbalance price.

And do you stand if they change the price for CE? u pay what it was advert when u order or you pay when its the final price? cos i am sure they dont charge until they post it.

i live in england and it is one of the worst countries for pricing in the world usually so high but when they do something like it this it is so cool and so odd

I also remember that tesco started selling the first lord of the ring dvd 1 week before it was supposed to be released

qft, Jersey has no sales tax, I couldn't believe how cheap stuff was there. There are many companies in Britain that base there online sales divisions in Jersey for this reason.

As far as I know thats the price you agreed to pay for the product, and they are obliged to give you that price.

Likewise if it is a mistake they are also obliged by trading standards to offer that price.

Also to all those wondering if this can be trusted Tesco pretty much equals Wal-Mart here, infact its bigger and better than ASDA, which is owned by Wal-Mart (and just so I can gloat, the guy who set up Wal-Mart is English, from my home town)
