Age of Conan Phone Call from Gamestop and trinket in PC Gamer

I received a phone call from my Gamestop saying that AoC would be in today and I could pick it up this afternoon. Call reiterated that you couldnt play until Tuesday (unless like me your an early access guy), but hey at least it is in. With the full DVD should relieve the issue of the DX10 and 64bit tech issues people were discussing earlier. As a sidenote the recent PC Gamer with AoC on the cover has a code for an in-game item.

I received tracking information today. My collector's edition will be delivered to my office ... today. So that takes care of that whole not having my extra bag space until next week.

I am going to have to call bestbuy when they open to see if they will have them instock.
Because I went that route i have to go early to get a CE.

Amazon still has mine with a Delivery estimate: May 22, 2008

Luckily the 10days will cover the lapse.

Man I'm pretty shocked.. well, completely floored actually - I got the confirmation email today, and it says it's already been shipped and should be here today. In Vancouver, Canada. I was easily expecting a 3-4 week delay like anything I've ordered from the US.

What's the deal with the exclusive magazine item.. it's not the free drinking cape is it?

From what I've dug up, it's this:

Got my copy of PC gamer today and inside was a key that I used on my live account. It gives an in-game item (totem) that can be used once every 24 hours to teleport you back to your home city.

Well, I'm a sucker so I think I might grab it I've got a serious addiction to new shiny things.

Is there not something similar already in the game?

I will get this to just to have it.

I'm a item whore anyways. I'll be making a trip to the store hoping to find a copy.

I dropped by Best Buy at lunch, but they didn't have them out. I didn't have my preorder receipt with me so I couldn't have picked it up anyway. Has anyone else had any luck at BB?

What is on the cover of this PC Gamer issue? The issue I saw at BB didn't mention anything about AoC, but they are probably still a month behind.

Collector's edition... Delivered.. Sitting in my office right now.

*edit - and it's HUGE!

Bah, our copies came via UPS but they did the ol "dial and dash" so we'll probably have to go collect them ourselves once they make it back to the depot. Jerks.

Here is the press release. You want the July issue, not the June issues which has Warhammer online on it and was the one on sale at my local Borders.

I don't think UPS bothers ringing anymore.
