US Digital Pre-orders Temporarily Sold Out

Comments Off

Posted 27/04/12 by Rushster

If you’re in the US I hope you got in nice and early with your pre-order because the digital pre-order are now temporarily “sold out”. Regina posted this a little while ago to explain the situation.

“We have sold out of keys for digital distribution in North America. GameStop and Best Buy still have stock available.

We limit sales to ensure we have enough capacity for our customers. We’re likely to have capacity available after the initial crunch at the start of the weekend. Players who purchase when we’re able to resume digital sales at buy.guildwars2.com will still be able to play for the remainder of the weekend”

European fans are not affected, you can still grab a pre-order of the digital version now.

Guild Wars 2 Collector Edition Contents. Pricing $149.99.

As many of you wil have noiticed, it’s more expensive to get your hands on a CE of Guild Wars 2 if you are in Europe. So why is that? NCSoft has commented on this because the CE costs $149.99 in the US and €149.99/£129.99 in Europe. With the with the excahnge rate you can see it’s a lot cheaper to buy in the US. So why is this? Well it’s all down to distribution and local taxes according to NCSoft.

“Currency fluctuations, distribution costs, taxes and market conditions in addition to the cost of goods are all contributing factors when setting pricing. These vary dramatically between NA and EU and our pricing is competitive and adjusted accordingly.”

Sadly it looks like EU gamers are being shortchanged again but NCSoft does have a point, it is generally more expensive this side of the pond.

If you have a thing against the afflicted (who doesn’t?), then head over to Kaineng to talk to Initiate Zei Ri and to start with the cleansing process. Also, check out the new costumes, as well as new items to be gained (I’d wait for parts 2-3 before getting items though, to see all the skin choices).
