P.S. I wanted to make it clear that I get nothing from Amazon for posting the link above. I wanted to share the $3 discount with all interested.

Nice! I know where I'll be buying mine as soon as PayPal gets off its ass and verifies my new bank account. :/

I was going to wait until the price comes down before buying mine.......looks like I won't have to wait long.

Quick note: the 8thAge Gifts are not included in this CD Boxed edition youa re buying for $16.99. You get the code seperately and as far as I know, you do NOT need to buy (preorder) the 8th Age in order to get the Gift Code.

For the Gift Code:

Aye.. but you do need to pre-order to get the soulstone.

Nope you don't..you only have to hope that your store gets them in quick.
Pre order isn't necessary this time.

What's going to happen, is after the release they are going to "turn on" soulstone codes for a specific amount of time. You then use your upgrade code in the box to get your soulstone.
After a while, they will shut that option off, and no more stones will be able to be claims.

Every box has a potential soulstone. It's just your upgrade code. You just have to redeem it within a certain amount of time.

Anyone have any idea how long before they "turn off" the soulstones codes? We always get it late here in Vancouver.

I got the impression the early codes would be good for both the anniversary item and the soulstone. But then the later copies would be good just for the ann. item. It would just depend on how fast they sold the first printing.

...I could be mistaken though.......

I would love a blue soul stone but it's sure not worth $20 to me.

I've got to agree with Flutter. The Blue Soul Stone isn't worth another $20 with the recently release of ML not even a memory.

So what you are saying is, if I buy the 8th Age after the code is "turned off" my box no longer has the "potential"?

Yeah but with the ML you get all thoose other codes to like the char transfer, sixth slot and adnvaced char, Iknow that my third account has never been upgraded so Ima order mine tomorow. Hope it still has the soulstone but I'm in it for the rest of the stuff. Oh and has antyone gotten their soulstone yet? Just curious. Oh and you do get a EXTRA 8th age item as well as the one that every active account recives

personally I think the soulstone is worth it as being able to exchange skills on different charaters takes more than one soulstone and with the orignal I only got one so I am gettting two more. They will be invaluable to me
for instance my tamer sometimes I like to have peacing on him and sometimes I like to have magery on him. Now I can exchange skills :grin:
