Want access to the early-start preview weekend? Then you’ll want to buy from GameStop or Best Buy<\/a>, depending on whether you want an in-game pet or special costume pieces.<\/p>\n Wal-Mart preorders are for those who prefer real-life swag, with a lenticular cover, and iron on patch, and a zone map packed into its exclusive limited edition package, while Amazon is the place for those who value avatar looks above all, with three exclusive costume pieces on offer.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n None of this sounds game-play-breaking, but it’s still annoying.
