Pre-ordering is from a store and pre-purchasing is online, I take it? Is there any different between the two? Both get the special benefits, right?

What about Collector's Edition, any differences? Information I've found on forums is giving me a lot of mixed information and NCSoft doesn't give any real information about pre-ordering. Thanks

I'm pretty sure preodering is online to because I ordered on gamestop.com and was allowed access to the beta. The difference between preordering and buying in store on release day is you get to play the actual game two days earlier because u already downloaded it to play beta. You get extra items that are otherwise unavailable like various rings depending on which company you ordered your game from gamestop gives you the ring of fire. If your going to get it I highly suggest you preorder it so you can download the client which you can laready do now without preorder I think, you just wont have beta key. But by preordering you gain early access and some good items that otherwise would not be obtainable (as far as we know, at least not obtainable early game :P)

As far as i know collectors edition just comes with a small sculpture of an Asmodian Daeva.

if you pre-purchase i believe thats paying in full and only on the NCsoft Store, this gets you 7 days more free time along with the 30 that comes with CE or the regular copy.
