Stop combining threads. It gets annoying when you want to find out NEW information and not wade through discussion of old information.
asrial to give ya an update, I was the one that purchased 2 preorders then found out about the CE and preordered one there. Well I got the regular edition at Bestbuy and both preorders went to the purchase. I am in limbo on the CE edition of the one at gamestop. I hope to hear something soon.
I like best buy...they rock

I just called both of my BB stores and both are still listed with 0 inbound. Guess I live in the wrong location. Any extra info for stores #221 and #762?

The nearest EBGames also is not expecting any this Friday, although GameStop is.

I recieived an email last night from gamestop.com, they said NCsoft has delayed the CE editons indefinately(meaning they are not sure when the CE's will be in). And that no orders will be sent this weekend because they have not recieved any of them. Mine says processing as it has since monday. Anyone have their 1800 number? this is ridiculous.
Why has europe recieved the CE and yet we havent, and Anet is located in the states. WTF????

publisher is NC Soft which is located in Europe i believed. So A-Net is only the designer for it.

Same for me with my EBgames pre-order. Happened within the last 30 minutes or so. I got 1 day shipping, so I should have it tomorrow.

EDIT: Just got an email from EB apologizing for the delay and telling me that they are sending a GW:F t-shirt with my order.

Dear GameStop.com/EBgames.com Customer,

Good news! We have picked up Guild Wars Factions Collector's Edition from the
publisher and have begun processing orders. Delivery times will vary according
to the shipping method you selected, but you will receive a shipping
confirmation email with tracking information within 24 hours of shipment.


Again, we apologize about the production delay from the publisher and have
included a free Guild Wars Factions t-shirt in with your shipment.

Thank you for shopping with us,

GameStop.com/EBgames.com Customer Service

Just got an email from Gamestop saying they picked up their CE boxes. They said within 24 hrs I'll get a tracking #. They ALSO said, FREE TSHIRT!

Between the free pet dragon and tshirt, this delay stings a bit less. Nice to see them step up and show some customer appreciation, though I am still bitter about the misleading 10 day grace period statement and getting shut out a few days ago.

Nothing at Best Buy today.

I STRONGLY suspect we'll be receiving it at around noon tomorrow.

I recommend that everyone looking for it from them call at noon and ask to speak to the INVENTORY department. Ask them if they remember receiving any copies of the Collector's Edition of Factions.

-_- Now to see when the real-life stores will get copies...
*calls 1-800 number*

EDIT: Just called, they said that the company-wide shipping news had JUST been released--so chances are your store may still not have seen the message saying that they should receive it sometime tomorrow. I'll be calling the EBGames tonight ((I'm totally on a firstname basis with the two John's who share the afternoon shift)) and harassing them for what will hopefully be the last time...

oooh this would be pretty nifty - we still haven't gotten any word on if ours will be in or not tomorrow and we don't want to have to make an hour drive only to find out they are still going "we don't know anything!"

I tried calling all the GameStop/EB stores in my area (all five of them) and mentioned my pre-order (and money down): "Sorry, we're not showing any product number for the CE, and we just got our big shipment of the week yesterday."

No, I do not live in the boondocks.

I'll try calling again tonight, but I seriously doubt it. These are the same EB/GameStop stores that throw me into a loop whenever I try to pick up stuff I've pre-ordered. Always. OoT? "Sorry." FFXI? "Dur, we don't carry that..." (I gave you money for it already and have a reciept, morons!)

Yeah lol that is pretty much how they have been to us... Shoot just trying to find anyone that carried it was crazy >_< We kept getting this: "I've never heard of it."
"Well we know what you are talking about but we don't have it"
"Yes, we don't have it and I don't kow if we will EVER get it!"
"They don't exsist!"


And when we called about our preordered CE they told us this: "We don't have anything about a Factions Collectors Edition, they don't exsist..."

Us: "but we gave you money to preorder it!"

Them: "It's just a number in our system, we don't know what it's for."

Us: >_<!!!!!!!!!!!

Personally I would rather have a warrior collect agro from every single mob he could find at the last part of the last mission and bring them to kill us all than to deal with them again -_-

But luckily Redly is doing all the calling.... I think they wouldn't like me very much if they talked to me >_>

Well, I had it arranged through GameStop, but was apparently talking to an unimformed employee or was lied to...they'll not hold one for me until I get there.

And it looks like the BBs list it as on the way now, but they have no idea when...so I'll be calling every 30-60 minutes to check...

EB Games here in Kentucky said to call back aroudn 1400 EDT today to see if it had come in yet. They promised they would be able to fulfill my preorder of 4 CEs (my mate and I fully prepaid, brother-in-law only reserved for his two accounts).

I just checked my trakcing via UPS , I saw it was picked up last night and saw it was estimated for delivery on tuesday. Imagine my suprise when i saw this

05/05/2006 8:15 A.M. OUT FOR DELIVERY

I love UPS, I have packeages sent via fed ex, and watched the tracking and if it slated for tuesday they would hold it until tuesday, even if they could deliver sooner. UPS has always delivered sooner than later. I live in Alabama so i am close to the georgia shipping. But knowing my luck they will not make it today LOL. But there is hope

I ordered mine from EB Games while they were offering free overnight shipping.

Has anyone heard from CompUSA? I also ordered from them and there's no indication of activity on that order.

GRMBL, damn EBgames!!!!

I just gave the EBgames at the Neshaminy Mall a call and they said that they won't get it in until June! I told them very friendly that that is the second batch of CE and the first batch is to come in today....

I am tempted to cancel my pre-order there and will hopefully be able to pick the 2 up at the BestBuy later when my fiance comes home...

I hear you on that one. I ordered from GameStop and you get the same run around. I realize that the delay is not there fault but at least let me upgrade my shipping option so get the game before the next chapter comes out.

I must have caught someone's ear when I complained to their customer service though since they send me an update email everyday. Nice touch, but pretty hollow gesture since they still haven't shipped my CE out when they list that they have it ready.

This is exactly why I avoided pre-ordering online, and pre-ordering directly from one of the (very few) stores that were said to have it wouldn't work as none of those stores exist in the city I live. Of course this (no pre-order) in turn led to my inability to secure a copy of the Collector's Edition. Oh well, I still get to play the game... they just don't get the money they could have gotten from me.

I hear ya! I had already decided that I wasn't going to my local EB because their workers are idiots there, but this whole issue of not informing me of CE delays, and still not having it and denying that CE even existed, and on and on and on... I'm done with them entirely.
