    AoC CE is 71 I think, but don't forget it has been out for some time now. It will be interesting to see how fast (and if) the WAR CE sells out and how high it stays rated when there are none left to sell.

    Sure it does. It means it is currently outselling ALL other PRODUCTS and GAMES on Amazon, at this point in time.

    I got mine from Amazon.com so hopefully they are just as reliable with PC games as they are with books.

    The thing is, with MMO's that's usually a meaningless stat. The CE got out a few days ago and ESPECIALLY a CE is only avaliable now till it runs out. Of course it's gonna sell like mad. Heck, people might be stocking them just to ebay the figurines to collectors later.

     

    For the same reason MMO's being on top of the charts during their release month is equally meaningless since that's when they get sold, mostly.

    "Who bought WAR CE for himself?"

    Puts hand up, "I did! Me, me, me!!"

    Bought two of them :)

    Another sign of the mature community of this game... sigh. Have you checked ebay the last few years? CE's are going for mad prices.

    Yes, mostly the CE's go out to self users(I never said otherwise but of course, assuming so gave you an opportunity to whine) but you can bet there are people anticipating the market as well.

    ... and besides being called immature by people who will find a fault even at being top bestseller at Amazon just to take another stab at the game they don't happen to like doesn't really bother me.

    It's ok, I always enjoy laughing at people who make up other people's thoughts to reconcile with their own petty comments ^^

    Well, boredom leads people to desperation... And I'm bored to hell from hearing the same old people commenting absolutely everything pertaining to WAR in a negative light...

    ...to that extent that even being top seller on Amazon you know doesn't really mean anything because you know everybody  is a top seller on Amazon and anywayz the people buying it are mostly ebay traders... /sarcasm off (I really should stop that sarcasm thing, I know - it leads me to all sort of trouble.)

    I prefer to laugh at people that use name calling to draw attention away from their weak arguments.

    $80 bucks for that?? You guys have too much money. I'm looking forward to WAR, but I believe I'll wait and buy the regular package after the reviews come out. Delayed gratification isn't so hard once you practice a bit.

    $80 is one tank of gas in my van, which only lasts me a few days. 

    I'm pretty sure I'll be getting far more value from the CE.  For years even.

  • KrayzjoelKrayzjoel Member Posts: 906

    I preordered mine the collectors edition on amazon.com. I think its great the game has a great amount of preorders :-)

    Played : WOW, LOTRO, COH/COV, EQ2, SWG, and WAR.
    Playing EVE Online and AOC.
    Wtg for SW:TOR and WOD

  • MonorojoMonorojo Member UncommonPosts: 411

    Well I was just going to make a topic about WAR still being in the TOP 5 on amazon.com

     

    http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/videogames/229575/ref=pd_zg_hrsr_vg_2_2

     

    I know it doesn't mean much, but atleast it's not #27 right?

     

    Yes this is a really old topic, but bumping this up seemed better than creating a new one.

    Obviously it can't stay there for long. There's a finite number of CE boxes available (55,000), and they're sold out by now in many places. Obviously a good sign of how incredibly popular the game is that it's been in such high demand, though.

    There's that and the price.  Look at the price for the 3 ahead of it (39.99 and less) vs. $79.99 for the WAR Collectors edition.

    I would not worry at all about the game's position on sales lists now. Pre-orders almost always go like this:

    1. Pre-order program is announced
    2. Within 2-4 weeks, almost every hardcore fan has pre-ordered
    3. Sales slump until the release date is very close and marketing hype increases
    4. Pre-order sales spike again as more casual fans decide to pre-order the regular box
    5. The game is released, sales go through the roof for a while
    6. Sales slump again as only latecomers join up
    7. Repeat when an expansion comes

    WAR is going to sell just fine, and assuming it does not launch concurrent to WotLK, will claim the top spot, in my opinion.
