It's times like this I'm glad I am Canadian. And if you get it from Future shop first day, free GW shirt.
$hade.
YES! I'm Canadian too! I wanna get there fast and early then.

Same deal is available at Best Buy (in Canada) on release day as well -- minus the T-Shirt.

Do they have the Collector's Edition too?
*goes to look, thinks about buying from there if it is possible, hisses at Best Buy for being evil in the US, hisses at Canada in a non-threatening way, but more at the low low prices.*

Ebgames seem to be selling for the same price, jsut in US dollar. Problem is they dont' have a 10$ rebate. They also dont' have the t-shirt.
What's funny/strange is they are giving away a pre-order box with it...

if only they would lower the price of the CE version @ futureshop.
I would immediately switch in a heart beat.
a weird thing is. in their flyer it says it's a 1 day(the 28th) price (39.99), but then it states on the website, sale ends may.1.2k5. only incentive to get in-store early on the 28th is the t-shirt. hehe.

Nice catch. Much as I hate Future Shop, I will have to pick it up there.
And Best Buy not having the t-shirt is a bit odd - it does own FutureShop after all.

I'd go for it, if I had not already put my money down for EB games. Guess I am paying in blood for that Ithias bow. I guess I would take that over the targe (BB) and the icon (FS). Yet we now know that you can enter several pre order codes. Ah well. Such is life. I guess I'll be happy with my $20 bow.

I noticed in today's newspaper ads here local, that Best-Buy will have GW on sale on the 28th for $49.99. CompUSA will be selling it on the 27th(!) for the same price and is offering a free $10 CompUSA gift card via mail with the purchase. CompUSA is where I purchased my pre-order package, so as long as they honor my $10 pre-order credit as well, that will be a pretty nice deal.

Wow. I should go take my pre order slip back to EB and get them to price match..
Thats cheap for a Canadian video game. I think my CE pre-order is gonna cost me 89 bucks or something rediculous.

39.99$ + T-shirt is sure great, however I am not sure if Futureshop will sell Guild Wars on 28th; you should not forget Pre-order folk get the game before everyone else. Even if you camp near the store at night, you might still have to wait a few days untill Future Shop/Best Buy Canada (same thing) will serve all of the pre-ordering customers.
Although I'd love to get a GW shirt .

in Quebec the $10 discount is only a "mail-in rebates discount"(not sure if it's how you call it).
90% of futureshop's discount are like this an i never got the money back from such discount.
Only the t-shirt could make me change my mind and buy it there.. But they might get out of stock by the time i reach the nearest futureshop from where i live.
I went to futureshop today and they were selling pre-order package for $9.99.. I'm sure they don't even tell people that it is only the pre-order and they would have to come back to get the real game later. Good thing it's writen on the box that the full version is not included..
..There was also a young boy begging his mother to buy WoW.. me and my brother laughed.

The CE is costing me $10 less from EB than it would have from Futureshop and I've already pre-ordered. Although I have to say it's a pretty sweet deal for us Canadians. Hopefully there are some people who will take advantage of this.

if you dont care about the t-shirt. order online @ futureshop.ca cuz it says the deal of 39.99 online ends @ may.1.05. no hassle. no fuss. + ofcourse, the convenient free shipping.
for me. i was told to pick it up on the 26th....sigh..one more looong day...and sigh....another loong day b4 early access. this is just sooo funny. -GL/HF to all.

I checked yesterday and while FS is selling the regular edition at 39.99 on April the 28th (Only) the CE edition is still 99.99. They also suggested I show up early if I wanted to get the T-shirt. Guess where I'll be Thursday Morning!

I got a question for anyone who pre-ordered from futureshop, like I did. What do you bring to the store when you are going to pick up your reserved copy? I have my box, receipt, and beta weekend pass, which do I bring for verification? When i bought the package, they sayed nothing about what I should do come release day, they just handed me the box after I payed

Pre ordered and reserved are not the same thing at least not at Futureshop.
Futureshop is a joke when it comes to keeping careful track of their stock on release day of new PC games. As far as I can tell a preorder at FS is not a guarantee of the game on the 28th ...
Arrive early or you will be VERY dissapointed.

I heard if you pre-order online with Futureshop you get a $5.00 CDN online gift cert instead of the t-shirt.

hmm. the person who i asked about "when do i pick up my full copy..", told me 26th...just hoping it wasnt just "air" coming out of his mouth. hehe
im @ ontario, canada area, so it might be diff for diff locations.
well ill find out later.

You know what'd be real hurting? Wearing Guild Wars T-shirt to the next Blizzard convention or something. Seriously, that's going to get you killed :P

just a lil tale of what happened to me, while picking up my CE version @ futureshop.
---------------------
I drove to a farther branch FS, since i got my pre-order package there. just around noon after.
I go in store.
I ask fs rep about GW pre-ordered full game.
He checks the shelves. ofcourse wasnt there.
I tell him I was told to pick up my pre-order full today. (26th)
He tells me, he has seen the CE version somewhere instore, he'll check @ the back.
I wait about 5+ mins only, he brings out a cart of boxes.
1 box is i think just "freshly opened" CE versions, while another opened one is full of standard versions. (rest sealed boxes)
he shows me CE, then a standard one showing the ranger lady box cover, i didnt check for other profession covers.
I stare at a CE and a standard for a few secs.
I decide to get the CE. I think it might have been whispering "take me". hehe
then when i was about to go out of store, the guy who assisted me, tossed me a GW t-shirt. what a bonehead i am that i forget about it...
so the conclusion of the story is, I took a giant leap of faith, (the FS rep that told me to pick it up today technically told the truth.) , and I didnt waste my time or gas, trying to persuade FS ppl what GW was, like some Best Buy ppl who i spoke to b4.
-sigh of relief...hehe
