    Everyone should, or at least put a down-payment at their local store, cuz the game will sell out the instant it hits the shelves.

    Eggman, I order BG2 so long ago they didn't have the collector Edition out yet. I just went and re-order the upgrade, but I'm a little unclear - Do you get 1 or 2 bonus CDs and what is on them exactly? The interpay site info was vage.

    [​IMG] You shouldn't worry. Collector's edition or any other "specials" are a scam (trust me, I know from experience).
    It's not worth the extra money you pay for...
    And you can be sure I'll have all the "extra" stuff here on the site sooner or later, so again, no worries.
    And especially not worth it if you live somewhere that USA or UK has to ship overseas to... you'll pay AT LEAST twice as much for the game, postage and very possibly tax and customs too...

    The only real benefit of any collector's edition is that you get it very soon after (or possibly before) it actually ships nationwide. But then again, this only applies if you live in USA, UK or any other major country that has their own special editions.

    [​IMG] 58 dollars for shipping alone, that is indeed more than the cost of the game itself... *shudder*
    I hope the extras will be downloadable: those tunes must be mine!

    [​IMG] Of course, if you do'nt order it,
    you won't have the soundtrack (Not that I care, but some may),
    and you won't get that map wich is included,
    and that one might be interesting,
    but of course, $10,- more just for a map..??!!
    Naaaaah, I'll just wait for the "normal edition", of course I have to wait till october at least (Don't you ever move to Europe people!!!! ;)

    You know if you pre-order from one of the chains (like EB or Gamestop, not sure who else), you will get a bonus disc with 1 new character and about 10 "powerful items".

    I got the Collectors Edition, just because I like to get a lot of materials with my games :D Maps, manuals, artwork, music, bring it on!

    I can't wait!

    [​IMG] Eggman, How in hell did you get BG2 yesterday? I pre-ordered from Interplay directly in the middle of July. According to their site orders have not shipped yet. Who do you know? Where did you order from? I love the info so I can order and get things early as well. Thanks.

    I just got an e-mail this morning from the distributors who are sending out Baldur's Gate 2 for Interplay (as I ordered my copy from Interplay.com). Now here is where I pull all my hair out:

    "The order you placed is currently out of stock and your credit card has NOT BEEN BILLED. You will be notified via e-mail when we receive more copies, where in your credit card will then be charged when the product is shipped." Or along those lines anyhow.

    I knew it. I KNEW IT! Pre-order online to beat the stores around my house. Now I'll be buying it before my pre-order arrives because there is no way I'm going to sit around waiting for it. Just BS. Pre-ordering CGI scripts should be bloody well based on stock and they shouldn't accept your order unless they have a product to ship to you.

    [​IMG] First off I don't understand how Interplay can ship to other sellers (ebworld) and not to the people that ordered directly from them. Interplay still has not shipped my copy and when I Emailed them about it today they said "the game will be released on the 26th and your order will be shipped then." But on ebworld website it said that the game would ship tomorrow. And some poeple already have the game.
    Sylvus you just said you got it in your earlier post. Where did you get it? Did you order two copies (one from Interplay)??
