It's pre-purchase. Using different terms might mislead people! |

I don''t have to know how to make a better game, I only need to know where the "CANCEL" button is! |

I've had the regular edition pre-ordered from Amazon since January 2010, but right now the only place to pre-order a CE is through Gamestop. I can't believe ANet is going this route. Pre-order means you pay for it when it ships. This whole idea of paying in full for something with no set release date just for a three-day head start and a few beta weekends seems a little shady to me and makes me wonder if ArenaNet has much confidence in their product. I've got a pre-order for a CE with Gamestop, but I can cancel anytime. I don't have a very good feeling about this.

Isn't it usually close to 50 euros the typical price for a new pc game in Europe? |

Originally posted by Dragonantis Sounds like a good deal to me, Imagine having to live in Australia and paying $90-$100 Dollars for a title, what shock and horror to have to pay 50 pounds!

I've pre-purchased, but it is pretty steep. Here's in the UK its £50 which is the equivilent of $80 or €60. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

£34.99 to prepurchase from game.co.uk but I would be very hesitant about ordering from them at the moment. £39.99 from play.com. Amazon.co.uk dont seem to be selling it at all which is odd. Not sure about Euros but the normal price for a boxed game in the UK is £35 - £40. I still think £50 for a digital download is criminal though, considering you get exactly the same (just game access) whether you buy the standard edition prepurchase box from a retailer or buy the digital standard edition from ANet. How can they justify charging £15 more than the boxed version? Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom |

Originally posted by stragen001 If you buy from any of the 3 Anet have listed for the UK, play.com, amazon or zavvi you can get pre-purchase and full access to betas and the 3 day head start. But, I don't think they are actually taking the money until dispatch, Zavvi certainly haven't taken it from me yet and they never have for any other pre-order and neither have the other 2 retailers. Theres no way i'd trust GAME.co.uk either considering they were going bust until last week when they were bought out. Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. |

Originally posted by Kabaal yeah, realised that and edited post. Thanks. I normally buy from amazon.co.uk because they dont take the money until they despatch the box, but since they will be sending the preorder box immediately, i guess they will take money as soon as that is sent, not when the game launches. HOWEVER, GW2 doesnt seem to be available on amazon.co.uk for some reason. Cluck Cluck, Gibber Gibber, My Old Mans A Mushroom |
