    NA Retail In Stores on...heads up for GameStop reserves

    So as GameStop previously said, it'll be in stores on the 22nd or 23rd depending on your store's UPS delivery. But, secret insider info (me looking into our shipping records lol) has revealed that we're getting the game on the 14th or 15th (again depending on UPS) and will be selling it on the 21st so people will be able to buy the game before servers go live! Take this with a grain of salt though, depending on where you pre-order from the dates may be off, even throughout the GameStop company as each store's deliveries are different.

    Although GameStop's website still says the 22nd, I'll keep checking our shipping each shift & update ya'll if I hear anything new

    Note: Again, dates subject to change per store, but mine will get it on the 14-15th.

    when I pre-ordered weeks ago they employee there flat told me it'll be in their store on the 21st (much to my confusion since I thought it wouldn't be there until the 22nd floor day)

    all stores should have it on the 21st, but for people with headstart codes anyways does it really matter when you pick up your disc?

    not really, but apparently some people who ordered it from places like Amazon, etc are saying it won't even ship until after the actual release date. in fact, I think some people even quoted their ship dates as being in October. D:

    I'm really happy to hear this about GS tho, that is where I got my two copies and I've been worrying that there will be a delay in shipping, and I don't want to get cut off after the 22nd for not having an actual game code to replace pre-order status or whatnot.

    Need someone working in the gamestop online part to tell us when the online orderers get their keys . Don't instore preorders get headstart access? How would they get their codes for preselect/headstart on 18/20 if its not in the store until 21?

    the headstart uses your preorder code, not the cd key

    Server's go live on the 20th, 22nd is just the retail date. And it's looking like pre-orders can only play the game from the 20-22nd w/o the actual CD key. Don't think they have decided if they are going to give ppl extra play time after that (knowing not all retailers will have the game on the 22nd), but I wouldn't expect them to change their minds since you can technically do a digital DL via NCsoft and have the code applied to your account on the 22nd
