Requiel said:Ok, I've just had a word with our marketing people here and the confusion seems to stem from some cross comunication between our distributors and the retailers.
Here's how it works:
There is a collector's edition which has the miniature, graphic novel, artbook etc in it.
There is a regular edition which has the game.
You can preorder either of those versions in the normal way from practically any gamestore or webmerchant and you'll get it sent to you for release in the usual way.
In addition we are offering a special pre-order bonus set which includes the open beta access, the headstart on live servers and so forth. That applies to either edition of the game - it isn't limited to just the collector's edition. It is limited however to our specific pre-order partners. In the UK, it's Play.com and HMV. The Play.com link was removed last night because it was inaccurate, the HMV link will be coming as soon as they update their site to include it.
The correct link for Play is this one and our marketing team are checking with the distributors and the retailers today to ensure that all the other links are up to date and to try and sort otu the confusion that seems to have occurred.
Some sites are offering the pre-order for 8 euro/5 pounds. What that means is that you will pay that amount in advance for the pre-order kit and then the balance for whichever version of the game you buy when it is released. You aren't paying extra for a pre-order.
Hopefully that clears up most of the queries.
