Where to Pre-Order CE for 22?

I'm a bit late taking the plunge into the CE edition of the game. I had planned on pre-ordering it for quite some time but after my OB experience I was on the fence. With a lack of any good mmo out there to hold my time (aside from the World of Tanks beta...yeah, I know...) I decided to go ahead and pre-order the game.
Where can I pre-order the game to have it here by the 22nd? I looked into BestBuy and Amazon but I'm not sure if they will ship me the box or if they will send me an key for me to download the client, all 20+ gigs of it *cries*.
Anyway, where did you pre-order from? How do you get the client when you pre-order, box or email key?
Thanks in advance.

Amazon CE here - supposed to arrive on 22nd. Historical experience has been very good with them. Typically receive things around noon.
Gamestop is still selling it and you can get it delivered on 9/22

Anyone have any experience pre-ordering through BestBuy's website?
I have tried to pre-order from the location here and they didn't know what the hell I was even talking about.
Best buy = Worst buy in my book. They are the worst place to buy anything from. Run far and fast from Best Buy.

I agree with this sentiment with online orders.
If you can do Amazon it's how I would go for a box on Weds.

Or if you have a Gamestop near you, you can just walk in and get one when it's released.
i preorder from amazon it will be here about 24.
Although i dont care what time is going to arrive cause my new rig come after 30 and my old cant even run it at low.:(
I preorder it because at my local store the standar edition is 50€ while from amazon it will cost me only 60€ for the collectors edition incuding tranfer charges.Prety nice buy i think
Will they have it for the 22nd or the release date, which I think it 29th or 30th?
They should have Collector's Editions on the 22nd. That is the first release date since the CE comes with priority access. The second release day you are referring to is the regular edition's.
It might depend on your gamestop and how many boxes they ordered.
I agree on delivery from Best Buy - I have a CE on order from them now, but its an in store pickup on the 22nd. And I even anticipate they will spend an hour trying to figure out where the damn thing is once I get there.
I also have once on order from Amazon, I know it will be there on the 22nd though. This will be my 8th pre-order from Amazon, and the 7 before have always been on the doorstep by noon when they say it will be there.

Indeed. I second the Amazon method. I've now pre-ordered 6 games from them with release day shipping and all have shown up as expected. Someone on this forum just posted saying that it seems Amazon has put release day shipping back up for CEs. Def check that out!
Cheers and good luck!
Yeah, but their moms can't drive them there until during the afternoon after shes off work.
Looks like amazon re added release date shipping so they might be the best bet. I ordered mine from best buy because amazon told us through email that we couldnt get release date shipping, but that was back before they re-added it. Damn I paid an additional 10$ for no reason.
Btw u cant get it from gamestop their all sold out of ce preorders.
