Canadian Pre Order Question

[Krieglord]

I looked it up on google and could not find a clear list

If I walk into eb games today (where I usually pre order from) what versions will be available to me for pre order?

And based off pre order bonuses what would be the best place in Canada to go?

Thanks

I'm from Canada and I preordered off of EB Games.

What are the benefits of ordering from eb games instead if steam? Is it just to get the boxed version or is there a discount or something?

were there any price deductions Dan or was it the full price?

Full price. In obviously included the Greek States pack as well.

You should probably go ask these questions at your local EB, not a fan forum...

good advice but asking other canadian consumers and what they have done sounds even better.

I've been wondering the same question. I'll probably end up just preordering it from steam, but if you don't want to do that, I'm pretty sure you can order it from a site called greenmangaming, I'm pretty sure u saw another Canadian talking about that.

If no one else answers this thread,just go into eb games and ask, the staff usually know what they're doing. Or you can preorder it from steam like I'm going to do.

Hope I helped a bit and hopefully another Canadian can answer our question.

Why don't you guys just preorder from steam?

Because EB Games sells the boxed version and I wanted a box version. Saves on the installation time.

I think EB is a retailer so you get the CDs, Steam offers the full price so I ordered it from GMG for only 45$ (greek pack included).
I checked the site and purchased stuff from them before. they are legit.

Saves on the installation time and bandwidth.

To be honest, EB games is the go to store in Canada. The only other options are local independent stores or like walmart but I don't really rely on those stores.

As for pricing, the only time I bought a game that was less than the mainstream was at Best Buy, but I saved like $5.


It comes down to the choice of digital vs hard copy.

cheers

In terms of retail stores the only one in Canada which I have seen advertise the inclusion of the Greek factions pro-order bonus is EB Games.

If you don't mind getting the digital version, Steam or Greenmangaming is your best bet. I pre-ordered from Greenmangaming when they were offering pre-orders at 25% off. That ultimately saved me around $24, between the discount and not having to pay the 15% sales taxes which I would have here in Nova Scotia at a store.

true... those annoying taxes and I am in Quebec, the PST is pretty much double the GST.
45$ on a game that would have cost me at least 70$

Oh, that sucks, that's why I live in Ontario, HST for the win lol

Thats also why I like buying from steam, no tax and no shipment costs.

btw does greenmangaming sell boxed or digital because if they sell digital I'll buy from them instead of steam for their 25% off.

[diomedesbc]

I never heard of greenmangaming, I'll have to check it out. Looks like they have 25% as well.

Anyone know a good place to order the collector's edition in Canada. The EB Games website doesn't have it and the US Sega Store doesn't give any indication of shipping to Canada.

[Toho]

it is digital. I got shogun 2 from them for like 8$.
they are legit.
