Pre-Purchase for Guild Wars 2 Begins April 10th!

**bluefan** · 2012-03-27 21:48

So called it.

Confirmed today with my EBGames/Gamestop (they're the one and the same in Canada) that I'll have a pre-purchase code waiting for me.

does that only require 5 bucks down?

Pre-purchase is full price down, 5 bucks down is pre-order.

**Qalbert** · 2012-03-27 22:06

I meant at gamestop, since I haven't know them to differentiate. I'm probably going to do it online anyways, but I have like 11 bucks of credit at GS.

From ArenaNet FAQ:

What if I don't want to pay in full in advance?
In addition to Pre-Purchase, a number of our retail partners are offering a Pre-Order program. Customers who pre-order will receive one-day Headstart Access to the final game.

ah missed that. think I'll go digital then.

**Fairy-Killer** · 2012-03-28 00:39

I'll have to be getting digital since I have no idea where I'll be when the game actually releases...

**Katlan** · 2012-03-28 00:39

Is there even a reason to do digital CE if all the stuff can be bought from the cash shop anyways?

Head start?

**Takiwaki** · 2012-03-28 01:50

mini pet, and elite skill, beta access

**Arelian** · 2012-03-28 02:15

Beta access still comes with the standard digital version. So you only wanna go digital CE if you really want that Rytlocke mini and elite skill that'll likely be useless!

**vrumpt** · 2012-03-28 09:00

Gonna go with standard edition. I never use DDE bonus crap in mmos and it just sits in my bank forever and I regret spending my extra 20 dollars on stuff I never use. Not worth it anymore for me.

**Arcana** · 2012-03-28 09:31

I'm going for the Standard Edition and getting it from Amazon here in the UK, i find that pre-ordering from them you always get your shit before the release day and lets face it i don't think anyone will want to miss any time at the start. Besides the whole in game mini and elite skill are pointless anyway since the elite is going to be replaced by something far better anyway.

Or you could just order the digital version and download it :D

**Tonka** · 2012-03-28 09:44

If the Rytlock miniature was cute-ified and the Mistwolf ability was flashy and awesome looking, I'd get the DD. If we can't see them before actually pre-purchasing, I'll probably just get the Standard Edition. I just hate missing out on exclusive stuff sometimes. XD

CE's only available from a single retailer? What a downer. I might end up breaking down and actually give GameStop money for once.

Buying new doesn't really net GS a ton of money anyways.

You can't really take a PDF format of your game manual to the toilet though can you?

Once you print it you can. OR, phone/tablet etc.
