Are There Anymore Collector Boxes Left (And Open Beta Codes)?

I was just wondering, exactly like the forum title says, if there is anymore collector boxes left to order and if there is anymore open beta codes left to go along with them?

MMOs Played: I can no longer list them all in the 500 character limit.

    Amazon is sold out, I don't know about other places, but I'm sure they're gone everywhere by now.  Give Mythic a few weeks and I'm sure they'll post sold out # 's and from where...maybe!  After they clean up the mess that Gamestop pulled....idiots!

    Well, I looked at the EA Store (I was late getting to the CE order because I didnt even know it happened until today) but I went ahead and pre-ordered from the EA Store, figuring there would be no problem there as Mythic is owned by EA. After finishing, I did not recieve a code so I went ahead and sent them some questions and I will see what I get back. I wouldnt have thought 60,000 copies of this game would sell that quickly. Either way...thanks for the reply.

    Just because someone does something for the first time does not mean that critism needs to be involved. In all honesty, I saw many people who were agitated about the idea of the perks for this CE.

    Amazon doesn't look sold out to me.  Where do you see this?

    Well earlier today when I visited the site, I tried to pre-order another and there was no shopping cart or pre-order buttons on my screen.  So either the page was broken or they got more in.  They are back now...eh weird!

     

    ...and how do u claim criticism in my joke...sheesh

    If that was a joke, then I appologize, but I took it in a manner of critism.

    EA store is sending their codes out sometime in may.  Not sure why the delay probably to make sure all the orders stick.

    As far as I know everyone is still taking Pre Orders.  Best Buy hasn't even started selling their allotment yet.

    I think Mythic is gonna get a smack in the face when all the CE Pre-orders sell out 6 months in advance lol.  Might give them the time to rethink how many servers they are going to put up right in the beginning.

    My friend told me May was when EA was providing the store he ordered through their codes..may be different either way you don't get them right away which is fine as long as they tell you that.  Some stores just say "we'll see if we can get you one" which means "thank you for your money ..now get the hell out o my face".

    if your ordering from a store that does not have keys or where to get them or any idea how they're going to get them..I seriously suggest if you want your codes to buy Online.   Gamestop has screwed the pooch :)

    I think mythic has fully expected their CE to sell out...and the number of servers will be properly based off the capicity of a server & the pre order numbers.   These are meant to be large battles...I'm guessing fewer servers means better populations.   I wouldnt' be surprised if they have more servers ready at launch than the ones that they list to us...why?  So they can slowly open up new servers as the others become full allowing the populations to get decently packed before giving more room.

    Just for curiosity's sake i started checking around online for the CE (i've already ordered mine). Most places are sold out. I wonder if Mythic will release a few more or have some in a drawing.

    Amazon has them available right now.  I wonder if they are making quantities available each day till they sell out.  As big as amazon is they may have say 6000 pre-orders available.  But may only be selling a couple hundred a day so people get a chance to buy them.  I've seen it happen before so that would make sense.  If you are not able to pick a copy up today keep trying every morning.  Be careful with Best Buy.  I have been burned so many times by pre-ordering with them.  They'll let you buy an item online but they'll oversell it.  It's first come first serve.  So if you aren't one of the first to get it they just refund your money.  So don't be certain that you are getting a copy through them.  Also I worked at one of their stores and pre-ordering through the store doesn't guarantee you get a copy day one.  My friend in the software department told me it only guarantees you get the pre-order items and a discount on the game.  I love the store but I figured people should get a little inside knowledge so they are not disappointed like I've been in the past.

    Seem to still be plenty going in the UK.

  • shaggynickshaggynick Member Posts: 10

    I just bought an extra one.  And received the beta codes right away through Amazon.  I figure I'll hold on to it and see if a friend wants to buy it.

  • ZyllosZyllos Member UncommonPosts: 537

    I have yet to still recieve word when my beta codes comes in (just from their website, they say wait 3-10 business days to recieve beta code). I sent them an email to confirm this and I have yet to recieve anything. I pre-ordered yesterday from the EA Store. I will return word once I get one.

    Same with me Zyllos I'm waiting for my beta code from EA... They seem to be the longest.

    Glad I didn't buy a collector's edition for Vanguard.  I see no reason to go on blind faith these days.  I'll wait till after launch and I see a review, and if reviews are good and Mythic wants some extra cash for a box, I might bite.  If no CE boxes are left, well then Mythic didn't want my money bad enough.

  • TraceGaleTraceGale Member Posts: 45

    I want a CE real bad cause this will be my first game to actually start playing from launch day...But im already gonna be dropping 400-600 on a new comp for the game and buying my girlfriend a comp and the game for her and paying for mine and hers ...I really want a CE,i doubt this is the last time they'll sell them though...they'll probably  sell another version within the next two months..Cause now that the fans got something they are gonna want more..

     

    80 dollors..for a in game item,beta key,and  ''unique'' customization ....I dont really wanna go bankrupt...I wonder if i can put one on Lay-o-Way

    World of Warcraft and GuildWars never issued more copies for their Collectors editions

    - one they were gone, people had to settle for regular edition

     

    who knows tho

    - every company is different

    Or it could mean that you didn't read they are making 60k total CE and once gone are gone , of course they probably should just make an exception and print more for people who decided they didnt want order early I guess ?

     

    What it means it they are making an actual "Collector" edition and clearly letting folks know how many will be made total - it's ludicrous to think they should just make more for whoever wants them - that's not how collector editions of anything work - they arent hiding the fact that its a limited run and nothing is stopping you from preordering now or just buying a regular edition - the regular edition is for folks who dont want to guarantee they get all the extras with the CE , the CE isn't meant to be for anyone who wants to stroll in and pick it up
