- many online cdkey shops (scanned off boxes bought in bulk) have plenty
- major online retailers have boxed copies
If I had to buy one, the local chain of game stores also tells me which one of the actual shops in town have it in stock (basically more than half of them) - so doesn't really seems to me there is any shortage.
(which is also why, imo, this move of suspending first-party sales is useless for the customer experience, since anybody can get it anywhere else and CHEAPER, being nothing more than a marketing stunt to overhype even further and capitalize on the last weeks of hype before blizzard starts invading the media with pandas)
Are they sold out at guildwars2.com? Also be careful of what online distributor you buy from, I remember Activision banning tons of accounts in Call of Duty because those accounts were purchased from a questionable online retailer.
Yes they are sold out on their site, as well as any other digital distributer I looked at. I got a copy though, called gamestop and they had a couple left.
