Title: TBC Collectors Edition
Post by: TeaLeaf on December 26, 2006, 04:38:49 PM
Anyone know of anywhere that has any of these available for pre-order in the UK?  I forgot to order one when they came out (but already have TBC normal edition on order).

I think if you are trying now to get one, you are way too late to pre-order TBC CE.....
 
Pre-Orders of TBC CE where a while back, and they were instantly sold out...even put on e-bay for over 1200 euro's.
 
So my guess is, you have little to no chance of getting one....

TL: for a more well known company, try HMV Online. I had the same issue as you, only about a month and a half ago. Amazon, play, Game, Gamestation etc were all saying they'd sold out of preorders for TBC CE. Then I found them still listed on HMV Online (this is a good month, if not more, after everyone else had sold out of 'em), so I ordered one. Got a bit paranoid about a week ago (just before finishing work for Christmas, so musta been about the 18th/19th), and rang 'em up to see if it was just that their system couldn't register 'Sold Out' on a preorder or something. They told me I was only the 30th person *in the country* to preorder one from them online...

bah !
There is an item in your basket that can't be shipped outside the UK Mainland, these are genarally consoles and large bits of hardware. Please edit your order to remove the item in question as we can only ship light weighted items (eg. Games and DVD's) to Malta!

News from Blizzard
Quote from: BlizzardWe have discovered an unforeseen production issue that will require a few extra steps for European World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Collector’s Edition owners to access their exclusive Netherwhelp in-game pet. We will update the website with further details on this issue as soon as possible.
     
In the meantime, we ask that you retain your proof of purchase and the complete contents of your Collector’s Edition box set, including the content description sheet, after making your purchase.
     
This issue concerns only the in-game activation of the Netherwhelp pet. All the physical contents of your Collector’s Edition are of the quality we strive for in Blizzard special editions, and the ability to upgrade your World of Warcraft account to play The Burning Crusade from 00:01, January 16 is unaffected in any way.
     
Please do not contact our billing support team as they do not have any details on this issue, and the extra calls would adversely affect their service to players. More details will come on the website before the launch of The Burning Crusade.
     
We sincerely appreciate the continued support from the European community, and apologise for the delay in activation of this feature.

We do apologise, we have done our very best to get as many as these collectors editions out of the door as possible today. We did get stock but not enough to cover everyone and for this we do apologise. At the time of selling them we were not aware of just how many were being made, it wasnt until we had sold hundreds of them Vivendi told us! So we promptly pulled them off the site. We did still however, get about 20% of our orders out which is very impressive considering the whole country only got 1000 units, making this item one of the most desirable collectors editions ever.

Sadly, we wont be able to send you the collectors edition, since they will not be rebuilding it. We can issue you a refund OR we do have stock of WOW Burning Crusade Standard edition now and can ship this today, if you can reply to this email and let us know if you want a refund or for us to send you the Standard Edition that would be most helpful. If you want the standard edition we will of course refund you for the difference aswell. Eg. If you paid £44.99 for the collectors then we would refund you £20.02 + send the standard version (which is priced at £24.97) today - etc.

Also if you could put World of Warcraft Burning Crusade in the subject title in the email it will speed things along. Many thanks.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. If it have any questions please email us and we will respond within 24 hours.

Keeping you informed,
All the best,
Steve
