WOW: Collectors Edition

[CrimsonGhost]

Anyone know of anywhere either online or preferably in Dublin which will be selling the World of Warcraft collectors edition?

Not really. Get a ten day trial to give to a friend. The game on DVD instead of god awful CD (well as well as). I game pet for everyone of your characters. Making of DVD. And loads of other stuff. I reckon it is well worth the money. Plus I haven't bought a game since HL2 so I'm definitely due a big spend.

DapperGent

Was only messin'. Wouldn't mind a DVD version myself actually.

Hi,

just back from the city. Got my copy from the Game store in Grafton street.
They have plenty left by the way ;-)

The guy told me that the collectors editon is not available in europe (at least in Ireland).

Don know if this is correct but they have only one version with two different covers....

There is definitely a european collectors edition. Haven't been able to order it online though, but I know it is available in other european countries. It's mentioned on the european wow site even.

Game in Grafton Street told me that they have 14 copies for those that did not pre-order.

14 copies of the collectors edition? Guy here in work got a call from game saying they had his pre-order copy, but not CE. They weren't getting any CE. Can you definitely confirm this? I'll leg it down at lunch time if that is the case.

Sorry I was not clear.

They have 14 copies of WOW for those that did not pre-order. I do not know if they are Standard or Collectors edition. However I suspect they have no Collectors editions.

They're all standard, & several of those were sold when i got mine this morning. HMV seemed to have a good few copies this morning tho, all standard.

[CrimsonGhost]

Yeah, was in HMV you can pick it up for 45 quid, less 10% if you've their loyalty card which you can pick up straight away. So 40.50. Good deal I reckon.

39.99 for the Standard Edition in Software City in the Dun Laoghaire shopping centre.

I was mostly just shocked they had it in stock!

DapperGent

You buying and rerolling Greg?

Game in Galway has loads of copies still.

I was able to order the CE from a finnish site playerone.fi. I ordered it months ago tho, with the preorder pack.

The mini-diablos, pandas, and zerglings are cute!

Yesterday in Brill (Undead territory) there was a guy with an army of pandas. He got it from the CE, but wouldn't tell anyone how he ended up with so many of them (16!).

It was so cute! I'll check when I get home whether I took a screenshot or not (I was sure I did..). I want a panda

Any luck with that screenshot?

koneko

Ah totally forgot, will have to check when I get home. Otherwise I'm just going to have to camp out in Brill for the next week and hope he comes back

I thought the pandas looked a little weasal or stoat-like.

Its on Eglinton Street in the centre of the city, next to the post office. Head down town from Eyre Square and you'll see a big red shop on the corner, at the top of the pedestrian street, named Moons. Veer right there and go straight on. Game is on the left side of that street, next to said post office.

I got nothing else to say, maybe I should visit doctor :eek:

So... the only way is to buy the collectors edition on e-buy . In most shops sellers didnt even know about that ver of game... shame

btw... :rolleyes: ... sorry for offtopick but guys, what kind of broadband do U have to play WoW? I mean Im going to rend some house in Blanch or accom.sharing and have a broadband there but I'm afraid of lag while playing online games ... that's why I wont take any wireless broadband like Rippley ect...

Any suggestion for broadband providers?

What do you get different in the ce compared to the norm? Just packaging like hl2 gold or content?

koneko

A free ingame pet (zergling, panda or mini diablo iirc), strategy guide, book, maps. Hard to say as I've never actually seen one (damn you Ireland).

Woden

rumour has it the manual is in hardback as well (the bastards)

smithy1981

The Collectors edition comes with an art book, paperback manual with sigs from the blizz team, game on both cd and dvd, a scroll map of the world, a behind the scenes dvd, wow music cd and an ingame pet.

......yes but will all those things make you happy ? truely truely happy !
I say yes !

Who needs an ingame pet I have my Mechanical Squirrel !! who chases me around trees all day long, Ill admit he isn't that good at fetching things but then I get to pick them up !! its great fun really, the times weve had...

You have to watch out though they tell you do very bad things...
