Just noticed CompUSA has a really nice deal going on until the 30th, GW for $49.99 - $9 instantly online. So, $40.99 + $5 shipping. But, you get a free GW poster, XL T-shirt, and mouse pad.

Why is it that "one size fits all" t-shirts are always XL? I wear a medium, and an XL looks like a tent on me. If it were a large, I could at least pretend that it fit, but with the current state of things, I can never actually use these free t-shirts.

For us Europeans Sendit has GW for only £17.99 (https://www.sendit.com/game/item/6000000001722) (plus about £2 for shipping if you live outside the UK).

yep, and it came with a T-shirt as well....but don't tell D.R.A.F.T. this or he'll have a hissy fit and call you a moron (he's selling his 2nd hand copy for $40US....LOL).

Future Shop is selling GW for $49.99 now with free shipping, so that's still less than CompUSA... that is if they weren't sold out already.

I guess these game companies assume all gamers are fat. I wear a medium too...problem is, with the fattening of America, most companies are cutting their medium shirts really wide around the chest and back area so they look ridiculous on a normal sized person.
I mean come on, I'm 6 foot 180 pounds should I really need a personal tailor?

Nope, FS has many copies...even the CE version that's nearly 2x the cost. So need not worry for you who are thinking of buying from FS.

Actually already sold it, troll.

You think you've got it bad? At 5'10" and 145 pounds, I can barely find clothes that fit me (Small / X-Small) at regular clothing stores. There's enough fabric in a free XL game shirt to make two shirts for me. Damn you, McDonalds & Little Debbie!

I already got my free Guild Wars poster from PAX, though this is a really good deal.

GW itself, regular version with no bonuses, will be $39.99 starting sunday at Bestbuy. It was that price for the first 2 weeks of release at circuit city, but they sold out damn quick, even the site(not sure if they ever even got it in-store, I never could find it) and will be on sale through saturday. Should be the same price on their site as in b&m starting at 3am eastern time(midnight pacific, when their online weekly ad and ad prices update)

With a large, if it's black, sometimes I can wear it if I wear baggy clothes or something. With a XL, it's hopeless. I would love free shirts shipped in medium. Personally I think they get some kind of discount on a bulk size nobody uses, or don't want to get sued.

Actually, this is $45.99 shipped. (and /w extra stuff) So, if you live in the US, this seems cheaper to me. Though I might be missing something. (See below, my mistake.)

Thanks for the heads up. Though, you've got tax in person or in a lot of places online. ($42.49 total here) If you don't want a shirt, poster, or mouse pad, it's probably the better deal. I think it's worth $5 for a GW mouse pad, but I'm one of the few who like mousepads with optical mice. :)
Shame about the shirt though.

Yes, what you're missing is that FutureShop is in Canada... $49.99 CND = $39.79 USD.

I'm betting WAY more people wear XL rather than Medium. Almost everyone I know wears an XL or larger.

Yeah, XL only. Thats actually the only reason I didn't order it as I can't where that huge shirt. I am 5'3" and weigh 175 but I still can only wear large shirts. No, I am not fat either, I just work out alot.
I find it amazing that the XL size is starting to become standard and even the shirts on clearance at sites like hottopic are XL. It sucks. On another note, if anyone sees any other deals somewhere else online let me know. I can't wait to get into Guild Wars.
