Well shit....

Looks like they sold out of digital copies already:

"We have sold out of keys for digital distribution in North America. GameStop and Best Buy still have stock available.

We limit sales to ensure we have enough capacity for our customers. We're likely to have capacity available after the initial crunch at the start of the weekend. Players who purchase when we're able to resume digital sales at buy.guildwars2.com will still be able to play for the remainder of the weekend. ~RB2"

I hadn't preordered yet, so I went over to GameStop's site and nabbed a copy. Hope I still get the early access.

Is that just ahead of this weekend? I would imagine they're just trying to manage population for the beta. I expect there will be more digital versions available for launch.

it actually says right in that quote that they will have more THIS WEEKEND. here's the quote again:

"Players who purchase when we're able to resume digital sales at buy.guildwars2.com will still be able to play for the remainder of the weekend."

So I think it's safe to assume that you don't need to start panicking yet.

The third sentence of the post sort of implies that they'll be opening up purchases before the weekend is even over. It seems like they're more worried about their servers getting slammed on Friday.

Ya it's probably just for the beta weekend balancing.
