Could you please add the part about $10 off pre-orders to your title/post? It isn't clear and makes it too easy to accidentally repost it. Thanks.

Is there any garuntee you get it the day it comes out?

Debating I have it ordered through Amazon with release day arrival. Hmmm.

I don't think Newegg does release day delivery. Maybe someone else knows for sure but I don't recall them ever offering it.

Good suggestion. Maybe if it was more than a $10 savings.

bigmace 02-28-2013 08:30 AM

I wish Amazon would price match this. Would much rather use them, yeah I would have to pay tax but shipping would be a lot faster with my prime account.

I guess I could order from both companies but really wouldnt save any money after gas and materials to ship back to amazon.

Kelzebubba 02-28-2013 08:44 AM

Unless there was a major revamp to Final Fantasy XIV, it isn't worth the electricity consumed in playing it, let alone the monthly subscription. Day one player before the epic failure at launch.

JL6speed 02-28-2013 09:09 AM

In for one. Canceled my Amazon preorder as they charge tax + no discount. Newegg ended up being $69.99 free shipping :) I don't mind the delay time in receiving my order as usually new rollout nights are quite buggy.

I've pre-ordered a lot of newegg games and MOST OFTEN they ship UPS Ground ON release day. They ship from NJ, TN, or CA. Most often it seems they ship from TN to me on the east coast which is a 2 day zone for me. So if the game comes out on Tuesday I will get it Thursday.

On rare instances (seems to be less popular titles) they ship the game via UPS Mail Innovations which means it will be shipped UPS part of the way and USPS the rest of the way which takes FOREVER. They seem to always ship games via Mail Innovations if you order it via EggSaver free shipping AFTER release.

On extremely rare instances they ship the game before the release and I have it on release day or the day after.

The bottom line is that if you expect it on release day then Newegg is not for you.

kart007k 02-28-2013 09:19 AM

Got Startcraft. never played it before. Also gonna get the first one to play through before i get this.

dczyz 02-28-2013 09:20 AM

Thanks, nice deal. Interesting - shoprunner wasn't a shipping option on this.

sheltem 02-28-2013 09:44 AM

In for one. I am not big into competitive RTS play, but the SP campaign is always a blast and this will give me an excuse to check out some of the new custom maps on Battle.net.

JL6speed 02-28-2013 09:55 AM

U guys that complain about not getting the game on release date, just keep in mind when Blizzard rolls out a new expansion, the 1st few days are usually filled with implementation bugs, server instabilities, or other gameplay hindering issues. It's not like you are missing out much getting the game few days later.

Krazen1211 02-28-2013 10:08 AM

In. I'll wait the week.

Haha I would agree. I actually paid for the collectors edition of the original FFXIV, now that wasn't a good decision, guess I was expecting too much of a 'revamped' FFXI if you will.

Never got the chance to test it the relaunch beta, but i heard they just tried to make it more like WoW. I do wonder why they are launching this and FFXI expansion on the same day though.

motaku96 02-28-2013 10:12 AM

Oooh, Company of Heroes 2, Splinter Cell Blacklist, and Rainbow Six Patriot. Didn't even know Rainbow Six had a release date already. Hmm...XCOM fps. Not sure if want.

there was a major revamp to Final Fantasy XIV, thats why the title is called a realm reborn.

Question is the release date for FFXIII really that soon in march? I heard sometime in December of this year.

That was a little disappointing. I notified Amazon of the price difference. Who knows, maybe we'll get lucky.

cjlindman 02-28-2013 12:43 PM

i've been reading good things about the new ffxiv. this is tempting.

hounddog66 02-28-2013 12:45 PM

Sniper Ghost Warrior 2 (PC) preorder was actually cheaper on Amazon than Newegg with the $10 promo code.

i guess i'm lucky, i get all my items shipped from NJ the very next day... nice find OP!

bigmace 02-28-2013 12:53 PM

I don't mind waiting to much to HOTS as I wont have time to play it for a few days anyways.

ROKET 02-28-2013 01:12 PM

Um so I tried using Shoprunner to get 2 day shipping...apparently that isnt available so by now Ive preordered 3 times and canceled twice...are they gonna kill me? lol. Shiiiit.

Id agree with you if the beta wasnt so damn good. I love the multiplayer even more now and the new and improved features are great. I want to give Blizz a good slap around but thats gonna be in the form of not buying the Diablo 3 expansion.

Ferrous1 02-28-2013 01:31 PM

Nobody seems to have touched on it yet, will this product activate on Steam?

FFXIV A Realm Reborn is only starting Beta testing at the end of February. It is definitely not coming out in March, they must have dates confused. It is supposed to come out in like December.

Blizzard games have never (and won't any time soon) be activated or sold on steam.

They have their own account/game management software (on a cloud). You activate your game on blizzard's website view a created account.

Yup, you are correct, Newegg might have mistaken the release date with another one of SE's games, and other MMO. The new expansion to FFXI is to be released 3/26.

syclick 02-28-2013 02:10 PM

If FFXIV were B2P, I'd bite.

bosoxdanc 02-28-2013 02:55 PM

Tempted to get FF XIV. I applied for the beta, so I hope I can get in and give it a decent test.

Sodalink 02-28-2013 02:59 PM

In a way I loved FFXI and been wanting to try the new one. Is it still free to pay until the expansion comes up?

Also do you have to buy the first game to play free and play the expansion?

nightLotus 02-28-2013 03:05 PM

Tempted to get HOTS, but heard rumors that it may drop in price after it comes out... any thoughts?

Thanks!

It doesn't require the original. Just RR. If you have an account from the original FFXIV, you won't need to repurchase i believe, just subscribe.

Also, it is no longer "free" only because the servers are down and won't be up until the relaunch for FFXIV.

FFXI still has a monthly subscription.

I didn't play the release, but I played XIV v1.0 through the closed and open Betas, and now I'm playing ARR in closed Beta. So far, the battle system seems very different from what I remember of 1.0. It's a lot more playable, although they definitely still need to iron some things out. The quest flow also seems a lot better, and it's more fun than what I remember of grinding guild leves in 1.0. There's only been one test session in phase 1 Beta so far, but I'm enjoying it a lot, and there should be plenty of time for them to tweak things thru the 4 Beta phases before release.

The original version of XIV is offline. I think they shut down the servers in December to get ready for the relaunch. You can sign up for the A Realm Reborn Beta if you want to check it out before release. [square-enix.com] It's in phase 1(of 4) closed Beta right now, but I think they're sending out invites before each phase, and the last one is an open Beta.

You might be waiting for a while for the price to drop. I don't think the price of Wings of Liberty fluctuated more than $10 until half a year or more after release. If you want to play the campaign/multiplayer now/soonish, you probably shouldn't wait for a price drop. Plus, $10 off at release is a pretty good deal.

Edit: Here's the price history for Wings of Liberty. [urlhasbeenblocked]
(2nd edit: Looks like slickdeals doesn't like the link, so you can google "starcraft II wings of liberty price history" [lmgtfy.com] and it should be the second hit.)

Just wanted to let you know that you will have a little less than 1 month of open beta access and you will also get another free month because you supported the original game.

That's a lot of free game time, almost 2 months, since you supported them long ago and should be plenty to see if you really want to resubscribe. =)

I hope this help!

I am in the same boat ( want 3 copies). Ordered 1 using the code and tried to get the second copy, but it said there is a problem with the code :(

aznstickb0i 03-01-2013 01:25 AM

Anyone know if i could order HOTS from newegg, buy from gamestop day of release, and return the one i get from newegg to gamestop? Is there a difference in packaging like shrink wrap?

gh188 03-01-2013 01:40 AM

HoTS will but the included DVDs will only install on Windows. You'd have to download the installer from Blizzard.

Since you'd have to pay for the return without lying about the reason, no, I don't think that would be an effective strategy. And frankly, my integrity is worth more than a couple dollars and release day delivery; you may feels yours is worth significantly less.
