Hi:
Any suggestions on where best to buy the standard edition Guild Wars II "disc-in-box" retail version in NZ when GW2 goes live on the 28th Aug.?
Hmm, don't see many posts on Guild Wars, wonder if it's popular on Geek Zone.
Thanks..

Try pbtech? I think it's $79 on their site. (It's ~$75NZ if you buy it for $60USD off the official site, but also factor in having to download it)

I always buy online from MightyApe they seem to always be able to provide the game on your doorstep day of play.

It's 50 & 55NZ online for standard/deluxe digital @ CDKeys Wharehouse, you could get that, 3-day headstart and pay the difference it would cost you in store in bandwidth fee's if that's the reason you need boxed?

Thx Guys:

Yep, I need the box (CD) to avoid wireless mobile bandwidth data fees.

Appreciate the comments..

PS: If you are on (for example) Vodafone wireless mobile data 3G, they want like $79 for the first 3GB, so it might be a bit on the expensive side downloading 25-27GB over this system.

Hmmm depending on where you are a nice geekzoner might let you leech it, that or public wifi, a nice internet cafe owner etc

Thanks again for the advice.. might go for the simple box set and then at least if I have to ever re-install, much of the data will be there on disc.. cheers.
