Where to pre-order??

Solomon

As you know when you pre-order the game you get a Unique Prestige Character Power, which is different at each  store. What store will you pre-order your copy.

Heres the link to the Unique Prestige Character Power.....(they all seem to make the hero run fast, but they look graphically different)

Looks like ill be getting the prestiege power Quick. Seems pretty neat, being able to speed run.

WHAT THE DUCE!

I went with GameStop because the Rush effect will fit my character the best.  I am doing a Dr. Strange/Mystic character and GameStop's effect is the best for that in my opinion...the effect is very ghostly!

I pre-ordered my game from gamestop. Because I knew they still had copies of beta disc.  My friend who pre-ordered it from EBgames is still waiting.

From what I gathered in the official forums, these powers are all sort of like a version of Sprint. Sprint is available to all characters, but for those who get the prestige powers, you get lovely effects with it.

Ebgames has beta copies its just that they send it via this thing called eb saver which takes 6-12 days to get the beta to your home. Thats pretty bad but meh its free so i aint complainin.

 

 

WHAT THE DUCE!

I preordered from Best Buy which seems to be my favorite for my character. He will be a controller or maybe a blaster from the knowledge i know. If i made a tank or scrapper i probably would want it from EB.

I just went there and got the box at ebgames, much easier than ordering it online. They had a ton of em at my store however had no idea what the box came with expect what it said. (Mind you it does not say anything about the beta on the box). However it's in there.

I ordered for Gamestop so I know I will get rush. However does anyone know what these different powers will do?

Bestbuy just has the preorder boxes sitting out, it seems they are pushing it.

EBGames is no good, they couldn't ship to The Netherlands... which is dumb.

So i ordered at GameStop, which has way better services i must say.

They all do the same thing, just with a different effect.  They are all variations on the power called Sprint, which everyone gets.  I am guessing that these powers are just like SWG's burst run ability.

If you want to see what they all look like, go to hometown.aol.com.au/Boxhead6177/Freelancer/MainIndex.htm and click on prestige powers.

I pre-ordered from EB because I liked their power the best.

Divalicious

I got mine form EB too..

If i was making a hero like Quicksilver I would have thought about EB, thank the stars I'm not cause EB is the worst place to buy games from (atleast in MI).

The effect from Gamestop is cool for my intents and purpose. ^_^

My Top 5 list to pre-order CoH.

1. CompUSA or Gamefixx.com <---- (+)more free stuff; $10 gift card, CoH cup, and an Energy Drink

2. Gamestop                         <------(+) No lines to wait when picking up CoH

3.Bestbuy                             <------ (-)Lots of lines to wait in: people buying TVs, VCRs, and widgets.

4. Any other place than EB     <-------- (+) Better than EB

5.EB                                 <---------- only if your making a Quicksilver type hero.

Well i would just go pre-order at either Bestbuy or EbX. But it doesnt really matter, its not a manditory power so i could really careless.
