[edit] Availability
The GW:EN Prerelease Bonus Pack became available through the Guild Wars In-Game Store on July 20, 2007 and will be sold in the in-game store through August 31, 2007. Retailers may have made their copies available on that date or soon thereafter.
[edit] North American Availabilty: 30 July 2007
Information received this date from the North American Vice President of Sales and Marketing provides some insight on store availablity. It's important to note that stores do not expedite shipment of their supplies of pre-release products, and therefore the "shelf date" is not as formal as that for a game release. This is by no means a complete list:
- Canada:
- FutureShop Canada -- in stores Monday/Tuesday week of July 29
- EB Games Canada -- mid-week week of July 29
- United States
- Fry's -- in stock and has had inventory since mid-week last week.
- GameStop and EB Games US -- 80% of these stores will have the PBP in stock by Tuesday of the week of July 29
- Best Buy -- in stock since week of July 29
We recommend that you telephone your local retailer to inquire if the store has received its shipment of the PBP.
Please note: In addition to ordering the electronic version of the GW:EN Prerelease Bonus Pack through the Guild Wars In-Game Store, you can also access an electronic pre-order through GameStop.com, EBGames.com, Outpost.com, and Amazon.com.
