City Of Heroes: Pre-Order Pandemonium!

Here's the scoop:

Morning everyone!

Did a little research with our Marketing team this morning and have good news for those of you who were asking about alternative presale outlets. We also have matching pre-sales plans set up with Electronics Boutique, Best Buy, and Fry's. GameStop seems to be the earliest to appear on the web, but if one of the others is your preferred retailer, just wait a bit longer and you'll be able to make the purchase from there.

For those of you asking about the way pre-orders/pre-sales work with the retailers, here are the links to the info pages for EB and GameStop:

And...

My understanding is that they will all have bonus CD's - but each participating retailer will have exclusivity in some ways that I can't get into specifics of exactly - because, honestly, there are still a couple possiblities under consideration in that particular area.

I can say that no one pre-sale CD is better or more advantageous than another. You don't gain any advantage by buying from Best Buy or EB (unless they offer cheaper shipping to your part of the world) - nor do you lose anything.

If you're not comfortable purchasing at this point, then by all means - sit tight a little longer. We'll let you know the final content details on the bonus CD's as soon as they are final.
