Talk:Guild Wars Factions Pre-Order Package

Which version to go for
Is there any good reason to get the none-boxed euro version? I'll most likely get the boxed but would getting it a month early guard against sellout? 19:08, 1 March 2006 (CST)
 * Exactly what I thought. It sounds like the non-boxed is better for the ones without the original GW, since they can participate in the preview event. Markild 04:41, 2 March 2006 (CST)

Is there a pre-order collector's edition?
 * There hasn't been one announced. --Rainith 13:52, 4 March 2006 (CST)


 * Has anyone in the US bought it yet? I have called and looked everywhere in my town to no luck. EB Games, Walmart, Target, nothing. EB Games didn't even know what I was talking about *gasps* --Gares Redstorm 02:15, 8 March 2006 (CST)


 * Best Buy --02:16, 8 March 2006 (CST)
 * Amazon.com is now selling GW:Factions for $45, but then, oddly, they are selling a "GW: Factions Pre-Order Disk (does not include the game)" seperately for $1. --161.88.255.140 02:17, 8 March 2006 (CST)

Can anyone UK tell me if Game are selling them in stores? 02:26, 8 March 2006 (CST)

Australian
While she may not have known what she was talking about, the girl at EB Games here in Melbourne read off to me a list of advantages to pre-ordering the Collector's Edition, and she mentioned a soundtrack CD. I wonder if this is the CD with concept art, or something else entirely. -- Dashface 20:55, 9 March 2006 (CST)
 * The disc that comes with the standard pre-order package here in the US does have 7 (think it was 7) music tracks on it. --Rainith 01:04, 10 March 2006 (CST)

(Didn't know if all countries get the music, so I didn't add it to the article. Australia gets it, I know that much.) Track details: -- Dashface 20:15, 17 March 2006 (CST)
 * 1) "Guild Wars: Factions Theme"
 * 2) "Shing Jea Monastery"
 * 3) "Age of the Dragon"
 * 4) "Luxon Theme"
 * 5) "Kurzick Theme"
 * 6) "Kaineng City"
 * 7) "Harvest Festival"

Pre-Order highway robery
Ok, so, Best Buy (here in Washington state), sells Factions Pre-Order package for $10, Amazon.com sells it for $1 (even if you didn't order the game itself), and EB Games ships it for free with the game pre-order. What's going on here? Best Buy sucking the blood of hapless gamers? --Karlos 11:51, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * Typically, retailers that sell pre-order thingies for $10 knock $10 off the actual release product's retail price. Best Buy does tend to sell things for $5-10 more than you could find them online sometimes, but I *would* expect GW to cost you $10 less on release day if you bought Best Buy's pre-order package. --130.58 12:20, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * From what I hear, Best Buy does that to lock you in for the full game later. Typically, you'll get $10 off the game price if you bought the pre-order from them for $10, which helps ensure them the game sale later.
 * Amazon.com sells the pre-buy disk for $2 (on sale for $1), but if you order it at the same time as the game, the package price is equal to the game price, giving you the pre-buy disk for free. --Barek 12:30, 23 March 2006 (CST)
 * You are correct. And more intelligible and concise in your explaination than I was! =) --130.58 12:51, 23 March 2006 (CST)


 * Okey, I'm trying to get the Guildwars: Factions CE but EBgames and Gaystop says they can't order it in store so I have to go online....but the prices for shipping online are rediculous. Not only that but it has no info at all when I will receive my preorder copy. I'm not gonna preorder the damn thing if I don't get the preorder disk before I get my game, that's just stupid. One of the reasons why I don't want to get the game online is because i won't be able to play it until it arrives at my door. I know that the preorder gives something like a 48 hour window to go pick up your game at the store but thats simply not enough time if your getting it ground shipped. Any ideas where I should buy the CE from?--The King Tarosian 09:28, 4 April 2006 (CDT)
 * Because Gamestop sucks here in Seattle, I went with Amazon. I used the "free trial" Amazon Prime membership to get dirt cheap next day delivery, and then after I placed the order, I canceled the Prime. The pre-order disk showed up the next day, so hopefully the real game will show up next day too. LordKestrel 09:58, 4 April 2006 (CDT)
