Bought CE Pre Order @ HMV, but...

[arknor]

I bought my pre-order pack from HMW Plymouth this weekend. I asked if they needed my details and after a bit of conferring with colleagues a knowledgable chap came over and took name, address and phone number and tapped it into the computer.

Those who're on their list are then eligable to go in on release day and get their CE edition. You need your receipt from the pre-order to get the original £9.99 discounted from the full cost.

sad thing is that wont even be 1/3 of the people who bought a ce pre order pack.

most HMV's would not put your details into the computer even if you asked ,i honestly dont understand how they became the high street retailer for WAR.

it should have been given to GAME

Your kidding me Oellph did you seriously get a pre order from the HMV plymouth this recently?? I went there about two maybe three weeks ago supposedly all sold out.

Yep, honestly. They had three pre-order boxes on the bottom shelves of the PC section. Somewhat difficult to find given they're so thin. Not prominantly displayed at all.

I was a little surprised to find they had stock. I've got my keys for open beta so if on the day they don't have the CE editions I'll take a normal at reduced cost. I'd like my proper CE copy though.

Ok thanks for that going to have a quick look after work, you never know. Although i did ask them and supposedly they had a look at hte stock on their system and didnt find any(which i know from experience can be hard to find something in or is unreliable).
I hate going there for any kinda game stuff, they rarely employ staff with any gaming knowledge.

was in HMV in Edinburgh at the weekend - saw a few preorder boxes on a stand (already got mine from play.com though).

Also saw a couple of copies of DAoC on the shelves (think there was a Catacombs and two Labyrinth of the Minotaur boxes... bit odd with the Catacombs one given it's a free expansion...)

Mines doing a great job collecting the dust at the moment

Teach me to rush out and buy it when it was first released.

I have a question to the European Pre order CE

I got one from a web store in Norway, and they have a cryptic message stating that only the pre orders will have the opportunity to order the CE in September. They still have over 50 left and that prompted me to order from another store that had 11 left last night (8 now). And they specify that its CE pre order program.

The point is that the one I have in my hands now currently states CE pre order program inside (with three codes), but the cover art does not. The NA pre-order CE states on the cover that its CE. Anyone know how the EU CE pre order looks like?
(guess my newbee status prevents me from posting images, have pictures of cover and inside leaflet, not the codes ofc ^^)

Sorry for the bad quality, took it now with my Nokia E51, good phone, bad camera.


(tried emailing and calling the webstore, but games is just a small part of their product range. And the one who sent me an email needs to put in a few more verbs to make complete sentences)

My preorder box is a plastic pc dvd rom case, on the cover it says warhammer online age of reckoning pre-order box, it dosnt mention the CE at all.

In side the box is a 4 page bit of paper, on the front page it says collector`s edition pre-order program, in side it has the same message in 4 different languages, on the back page it has 1 other language and the 3 codes.

I`ve had it four about 5 or 6 weeks, i ordered it from play.com, and they state it is for a September release.

hope that helps.

That helps a lot, exactly the same as mine. Ordered it April 24th. And the same september release at the Norwegian web shop.

Thank you

Which norwegian webshop was this? If it's the one I think, I'm sending them an email to ask. I've yet to find a norwegian retailer offering WAR CE directly.

Since I'm such a fanboi I ordered from komplett.no first, and from Gamezone.no when I panicked yesterday. Gamezone clearly states that the preorders have priority for CE, not that they get them. F5 will be my friend the following month if its first come first serve.

After reading some post here I found that one on mine too. Guess its the generic EU pre-order CE "box"
