alanschu Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 You get the benefit of giving someone else your money and receiving nothing immediate in return The only two games I have ever "pre-ordered" was Doom 3 and Half-Life 2. And in both cases it was a few days before actual release, and the guy at the store said that it might not be possible to get it given the number of pre-orders already. And in both cases the pre-order was just a $10 deposit. I'm not really a big believer in giving other people money to invest when I could be doing it myself.
Fenghuang Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Dude WTF. I'm cancelling my preorder for the LE and importing the UK version. I thought they'd just revised the goodies list, I didn't know that the versions were different. ****ing lame. RIP
Bokishi Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Nah preorder is just the absolute gurantee you'll get one. Current 3DMark
Judge Hades Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Why can the US get the LG and CE editions. I want my Chaotic Evil damnit.
SteveThaiBinh Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 I think I'll pre-order the Collector's Edition. Lawful good, of course. Pre-ordering will get it here in reasonable time, I hope, though I don't suppose it would be hard to find it in a shop. It has to go to a friend in the UK, then get parcelled up and sent out to Saudi Arabia, probably not in the original box and without the figurine, although I'll insist on the cloth map. The less goes with it, the less customs can potentially object to. Some games make it out to the shops here - I've seen Oblivion, Civilization IV and Sacred of all things, but many big games don't appear. I don't think I'll chance it.

Arkan Posted August 31, 2006 Posted August 31, 2006 Sarfy how could you "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
Sargallath Abraxium Posted September 1, 2006 Author Posted September 1, 2006 ...well, the way I's figures it, since Nova Scotia ain't exactly the first place that gits new games, I might as well make sure I gits it... " ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... 1 A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
Dark_Raven Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 Nah preorder is just the absolute gurantee you'll get one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Considering that CE usually get sold out in the stores, the best way to ensure you get one is to order it online. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
BicycleOfDeath Posted September 2, 2006 Posted September 2, 2006 You know, the more and more I think about it, the more I want to put off NWN2. Granted I've faith that it'll be a great game but I'm so burned out on NWN. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
Sargallath Abraxium Posted September 2, 2006 Author Posted September 2, 2006 ...'parently this be the one fer North America...doesna look too bad, but I's really wants a CE box... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... 1 A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile.

Dark_Raven Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 yes, yes! That sure is a pretty box. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Jumjalum Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 That's a nice box, I'd rather that than the LG one I'll be getting. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
Kasoroth Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Though I usually wait for some reviews, I'll probably get NWN2 as soon as it comes out. I might even pre-order it, though I probably won't get around to that and just hope they have some copies left at my local Gamestop when I stop in to buy it. -Kasoroth
Atreides Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I won't preorder it but I'll get it soon after it hits the shelves. Spreading beauty with my katana.
Jorian Drake Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 i always throw out boxes, you cant do with them anything anyway.
Lucius Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Jesus DENMARK! It appears that I have not yet found a sig to replace the one about me not being banned... interesting.
Oerwinde Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 It doesn't look like any of the Canadian online stores are carrying the LE. Would I be able to order it from my local EB or am I going to have to order it from a US site? The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Judge Hades Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I like the US LE box better but I want both the LG and CE content. :D
Atreides Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 You know you want to buy all 3 of them! Spreading beauty with my katana.
Judge Hades Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Well, I will probably only buy the one that is available at my local Gamers.
Maedhros Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Just pre-ordered the Chaotic Evil one. What we get in Norway: One dark figurine CD with Bonus in-game artwork + in-game music Evil like customized launch interface Cloth-map of the world Leaflet depicting several evil characters /stories from the game Art-book NWN 1 1+ add on 2 on a specific exclusive qualitative media (gold, silver, crystal)
metadigital Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I dn't want a CE figurine (cave troll? ). OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
Dark_Raven Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 Buy both versions. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
