    Try Gamestop.com or EB.com. I think either of those has it. There might be others, but I haven't looked much myself, and those are the two I hear mentioned most often. Apparently, there's a bonus CD from EB, too.

    Just what I've heard.

    Please note that if you pre-order GW from anywhere but Arena.net itself, you won't be able to play Guild Wars the first weekend of every month before it's release.

    Guild Wars World Preview Event Announced


    Pre-order product to be available in stores in September; beta period starts in October


    Bellevue, WASH., August 9, 2004 - ArenaNet™, creators of the highly anticipated online role-playing game Guild Wars™, and NCsoft® the world’s leading developer and publisher of online computer games, today announced that they will host a World Preview Event October 29-31, officially kicking off the game’s beta period. During the World Preview Event game players from around the world will be invited to play Guild Wars and enjoy exciting cooperative quests, challenging competitive play and robust guild support.

    Guild Wars will be available for pre-order in September. Subsequent monthly beta events will allow gamers who purchased the pre-order product to return to play the Guild Wars beta during the first weekend of each month.

    “Beta events are a unique way for players to get a taste of Guild Wars and participate in the crucial beta process,” Jeff Strain, Guild Wars producer and ArenaNet co-founder said. “We welcome feedback from the millions of players invited to join the events and plan to incorporate their input as we polish, tune and balance the game.”

    The October World Preview Event is the second time players have been invited to play Guild Wars. The May 2004 “E3 for Everyone” event drew more than 200,000 players from more than a dozen countries who experienced Guild Wars first hand.

    Guild Wars, a competitive online role-playing game that rewards player skill, is the first title from ArenaNet, which was founded by key members of the creative teams behind the hit games Warcraft®, StarCraft® and Diablo®, and the creators of Battle.net®. In large, head-to-head guild battles, cooperative group combat and single-player missions, players explore a fantasy world while pursuing professions and acquiring skills to develop their own personalized characters. Missions are not scripted adventures, but are open battlegrounds where victory is determined by skill and teamwork.

    More information about the October World Preview Event and subsequent monthly beta events will be provided at http://www.guildwars.com.

    Please disregard Deadaye13's erroneous information.

I've talked with our ArenaNet marketing manager, and he has talked with the NCsoft corporate director of sales, and they both say that if you have proof of your pre-sale purchase, you should be able to acquire the pre-sale product when it becomes available at your local retailer.We believe you will simply show your receipt and head out the door with the pre-sale product. It's definitely a nice item, by the way, and I think since the cost of the pre-sale is totally rolled into the final purchase price -- making the pre-sale item essentially free -- it's something that all Guild Wars fans will want to own. --------------------------------All who have preordered the game, and all who do preorder the game, will be able to participate in the beta events. This is what we recommend: Say you already ordered the game through one of the larger retailers such as EB or Gamestop. (I have been told that both of those stores, and several others, are involved in our pre-sale oppportunity.) If you have already preordered the game, all you should need to do is go into the store any time after the pre-sale product appears and show your receipt. Upon proof of presale purchase, you should be given a copy of the pre-sale product. The product is tied to all pre-orders for Guild Wars, including those already on file. The pre-sale product (and I've seen it and it looks really nice) will contain all that you will need to participate in the monthly beta events. You should start seeing it in mid-September.

    image so, those 1st weekends of each month will be ONLY for American players I guess, since International ones EVEN if they pre-order the game online from the GAMESTOP webpage, they cant simply GO to the store..

    image I tought it would be like any pre-ordered game.. you pay, and as soon as it is avaiable it's sent to you by international mail.. I though some kind of serial would be included, which would give you the possibility to be on those 1st wekends events by introducing it in your NCSoft account.. How does it works after all?
