Anyone else just bite the bullet and pay £50 from arenanet for the 3 day headstart?

Do they not sell the one with the pre-order incentives anymore? Got mine there a while back for £35.

That's what I just read on the product description page, had mine pre-ordered for ages at £35, just cancelled.

Lots of us have, it's nice to directly support the devs, they have done enough to sell me on the game over the beta weekend events so I feel comfortable enough to just chuck a one off payment of £15 their way to get in 3 days early.

Not like we have any subscriptions to worry about anyway.

Good points. Happy i did then.

I paid the £50 despite not really making use of the headstart (it's my wedding) but I think ANet deserve it in their pocket for the job they (seem) to have done with the game. I don't begrudge them that.

So we still have 2 days and 6 hours to make a decision on whether to buy right?

bought headstart and a g600. Won't be spending money down the pub as I'll be in playing GW2 so it equals out.

1 of the G600's left in stock, jesus they're flying off the shelves

I am really annoyed that I dont get internet till the 25th September due to moving house, to make matters worse is that I paid for the early access and they have decided to bring it out when I go to creamfields - Not bothered though because of what I have played in the beta's they do deserve the money going straight to them. They have done a wonderful job.

I am going to try a usb stick that gives me internet but not sure how this is going to react and how much data it is going to take.

I will be fully updated before I use this but see how long it lasts. Has any1 done this before and what where they using as in data usage.

I see your G600 and raise you: 3570K, Z77-D3H, 8gb Corsair Sport, Matterhorn Pure and a Kingston V200 120gb SSD! Bye bye AM2+, hello i5! .... Just don't tell the fiancée!

Anyone know why I can't order from the Guild wars website? I want to have it ready to go Monday evening, rather than wait for the postal delivery.

Yes...shelves

m4rk84 · 23 Aug 2012 at 14:05

I think all the G600's were bought by people in this thread

I ordered one an hour or so ago, I'm happy with my G9X however I must admit that perhaps the extra keys will come in handy. Always not bothered with these MMO mice however it's Logitech so I'm happy to give it a shot.

I've tried ordering the normal edition from arenanet, but it won't accept either of my credit cards, nor my paypal account :confused:

You getting an error? Just ordered it digitally from their official site and downloading the client as we speak.
