I know most of us have pre-orders, but I was just checking out the client (you know, the usual clicking 6 hours before an event just to be sure lol) and I noticed that if you don't want to go to the store and buy the game off the shelf you can buy an account straight from ANet.
This will probably come coupled with a large DL, but as an advantage you'll escape sales tax and really be getting the exact same thing others are getting.
For those of you that haven't gotten the game yet, I thought I might point this out. I tend to be of the type that think that getting the box is simply part of the purchasing experience, but I'm kinda sick like that =P
To buy an account, simply click "create account" on the log-in screen and select the option.
