This is sort of relating to the topic...

If you do purchase GW online, they send you the key, can you d/l the game from somewhere, or do you have to wait for the CD to arrive?

As of right now, you actually CANNOT purchase the game online, contrary to other posts. I have tried it myself. It's not available to purchase online, and if this game follows suit like other NCSoft properties, it will be a long time before you can buy a key online.

Just go pick it up in the store!

If you are referring to the full version. No. They will not send you a key seperate from the version of guildwars. Now, if down the road Ncsoft/Arena decide to provide downloading the game after purchase online, then they may send you a key after payment verification. It is hard to speculate since the option is not even available.
