PreOrder... but without Free DLC???

[Ragga]

I preordered from BestBuy (had gift cards), but can not find anything that shows that I will receive the free Greek States. Does anyone know if I will... or if all else fails, will I be able to purchase the DLC on day one???

[BigHairyMelon]

Only way to know is if you contact your retailer. If the culture pack doesn't come with it you'll be able to purchase it day one but it will not be free.

thanks...

Surely since you pre-ordered your copy would come with a serial code for the culture pack or something. Best check with the retailer.

If it does not I would cancel that pre-order ASAP and place another one with either Gamespot or Steam.

There was a working link on this page http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Factions, but it seems to have stopped working currently. On the page, you would get directed to, all of the retailers offering the greek citystates were listed.

Forget all that...

Here's the link - http://wiki.totalwar.com/w/Rome2_preorders. Look at the buttom of the page.

Hey Jack, I can see you (), what about Russia and Poland? It's almost the 3rd of September. Also, if you are looking for another PR stunt, you can gift the game to me as a birthday present (the 29th ).

I am almost 100% sure that all retail box copies would come with all the free dlcs. there is a reason why it is retail. the only ones that doesn't are some 3rd party sites from some 3rd world countries that only sells cd keys. even then the website still tell you straight up if it comes with the dlcs or not(the good ones anyway) it is bestbuy, you bought retail box right? I doubt you got anything to worry about.

Pontus and, in October, the Seleucids, certainly. But, just preordering blindly will not get you the Greek Citystate Culture Pack as that requires a retailer, which has an agreement with CA. Free DLCs are downloaded through Steam by default, but the GCCP requires a special code to made available.

BestBuy doesn't have an agreement with CA, currently, and is therefore not capable of granting you a GCCP code.

Possible, but it's a bit difficult to differentiate between day 1 purchase and pre-orders for hard copies. They could package it in a set number copies which means some day 1 buyers will get it or give the coupons to the retailers to hand out.

[craziii]

well than I stand corrected. OP should just cancel and make sure it comes with the greek dlc.

[Ragga]

This is what confuses me the most... Ca posted this on Facebook and therefore I ordered without care or concern: https://www.facebook.com/TotalWar/posts/464402683634937

[zorphon]

Yea I'm a bit confused as well. Some online retailers are selling copies of both (?) with it cheaper to not have the Culture Pack. I got mine on GreenManGaming because I had a bunch of credit on there so I basically got it for free, but closer to launch they just give me a Steam code and I know that comes with the Culture Pack, but I'm not sure about other retailers, especially physical. Odd

[AngryTitusPullo]

I may have read that retailers who give away the Greek Pack will email you the code when the game is released so the Greek Pack code is not included in the box. So if the retailers did not mention anywhere they are offering the Greek Pack then you can safely assume that they will not be included.

CA has stated that only participating retailers are offering the free DLC. That means not all. Digitail or box.

This thread made me very worried for a bit, had to double-check my pre-order.

Best Buy assured me that It comes with all retailers and that I would get the DLC Greek Culture Pack.

Really? I have yet to get conformation. Would you be so kind to copy and paste the email or did you call them. Thanks!!!
