    Online passes?!

    Hey guys, I'm looking to buy Guild Wars 2 online, and I was wondering if there was anywhere I could get an online pass at a reasonable price? The official website charges £50, which is £15 more than the boxed version (How this makes sense I will never understand). Anyone know a site, or am I just going to have to be patient and wait for a boxed copy to arrive?

    Online pass? You mean purchase the game?

    If you do, then the GW2 site is going to have the static retail price for the most part. If you can find a cheaper boxed price in a store somewhere (or online), then go for it. I don't know UK sites so I can't really suggest anything there : /

    Just change to whatever country you need and select the Digital Download option

    UK stores offer the game considerably cheaper than the download version from GW2 (£32 - £38 from stores, vs. £50 from buy.guildwars2.com directly). This is pretty consistent and apparently different from the US; I suspect that this is because of the additional exposure and promotion that ArenaNet gets from European retailers.

    I'm more surprised that amazon.com, unlike amazon.co.uk and amazon.de, does not offer the game at a discount (it may be because they're offering both a download and a boxed version).

    You choose between versions, currently box is $50 shipped, digital is $60.
