It's £79.99 on amazon uk for pre-purchase of the standard edition o.O. Imma wait and grab a boxed copy I think.

Mate, that's a massive rip-off.
Buy direct
Prices on the official site are:
£49.99 for Standard Digital Download
£69.99 for Digital Download Deluxe

Edit: And you don't need the pre-order, 'cos you already have the one I gave you fo'

Aye, figured i'd just do that. Although i'd still like a box for 50 smackers. Rare for me nowadays, but I think it may be worthy of some consumery fanboyism to have the box proudly sat on my shelf :)

Anywhere in Canadia that I can pre-order the CE? Best Buy might be carrying it, but they don't do preorders for CEs.

I guess I can line up, getting a Diablo 3 CE was easy enough. And I don't trust EB preorders in the slightest.

The last rumored street date was the 28th -- is that still the case?

Therac, do you mean the boxed CE with the statuette?
That and "The Making of Guild Wars 2" book are about all that's different to the Digital Deluxe version.

But if you still want it, the dealers listed here with CE against their names should stock it.
Looks like EBGames is your only choice, much like Zavvi is over here.

Yeah, the boxed CE. Looks like best buy here will be getting in 10 or so, so it should be easy enough to snag one on release day.

I don't see the point of the deluxe edition tbh. 1 in game item, a picture book and a fluffy toy? Pass.

Next beta is July 20th-22nd mind you, so some time to play in between.
I'm also curious to know if that release date includes the 3 day first access for pre-orders, or whether that means I'll be able to play from the 25th onwards.

It's getting daft tbh. Finding it hard to care to level and grind for a weekend, then have to wait 2 months for another 2 day taste. Why not just keep the servers up and shut them down whenever they need to update? Even if it has to be down for a day or two, it's better than all this stop and start malarkey.

Do you have any idea of the shitstorm of complaints they'd get from entitled little teenage whelps crying about their servers going down left and right if they did that? Not gonna happen.

Eurogamer is giving away beta keys. They got 500 of them. When they're gone, they're gone. I just claimed my own, registered my account and automatically got the beta invite (20 - 22 july).

Now I'm just hoping that my old laptop won't blow up when I try to run it.

As long as you haven't tied it to your account I guess you can just give it to someone else. After that, I reckon you're out of luck.

Oh? What if i installed it and never looked at it again because i couldn't play it, would that mean i have tied anything to anything or not?

Oh I dunno. Did you ever received a separate key that grants you access to the next beta? I guess not, right? Perhaps because you pre-purchased it you automatically gain access to the betas.

I preloaded the whole thing but when I click "Log in" I get an "unspecified error: 9". Is this because there is no beta period right now or will I get that error next weekend as well?
