Hi all, I live in Canada and I'm going to head over to my local EB Games outlet to pre-purchase Guild Wars 2, considering that you get the 3-Day Headstart when you do so. However, I'm beginning to wonder how this all works, and I was hoping someone who has pre-purchased can clue me in.
If and when I do pre-purchase, how exactly will I get early access? Will I recieve some sort of code to download the game client online and play that way? Or do I actually get the game/box itself 3 days early? In addition, how would midnight release work with this game? Would the people who have been granted early access be able to get their copy on the 25th at midnight, or will the midnight release only be for the normal release on the 28th?
Thanks in advance for the information guys!

eb games is funny. early-access codes are given upon purchase call before you go and confirm they still have them, if they do not. go to the guildwars official webpage and buy it with a visa giftcard. this would save you alot of pain and agony and then you dont have to worry about missing early access. then when your done purchasing and registering your given your CD key for full access and you sit on it until you get an e-mail with the game client download instructions.i actually recommend the official page over the store anyway cuz then you have the option of spending 20 bucks more and getting the digital deluxe which gives you some nice in-game bonuses for you to enjoy.
if your curious as to the point of pre-purchasing @ eb games assuming they have no early access key is. its basically because you dont care about early access but do want the in-game hero's band accessory
I do prefer buying the game in-store over online considering my bad history with buying games online. Anyways I checked the ebgames.ca website and they do have the pre-purchase available, and apparently "in-store" they give you a code. I am assuming the code will lead to some sort of game client download on the 25th at midnight.
That still leaves the question of WHEN exactly do I get my physical copy of the game? Will I be able to go in at midnight to pick it up on the 25th? Or will I have to wait till the 28th to get the physical copy?
