Pre-orders via TGN tokens?

from Elemental Forums

I doubt there are many, and maybe I'm the only one, but I have 7 tokens in the bank and I'd like to know how to spend them to pre-order. I know Impulse doesn't work with them, but I can't seem to find what I vaguely remember as the TGN "store" any more.

Just got the info...

Elemental will be available via TotalGaming.net for a price of 6 tokens.  You can't preorder it via TGN at this moment, but that is coming in the future.

Can someone help me refresh my sketchy memory about the last price of a tokent 10-pack?

Somehow I have this sloppy notion that a $50 game should cost 5 tokens, not 6.

Tokens cost ~$7 per. So at $42 for the game vs $45, you're still getting a tiny bit of a discount.

Thanks, Kryo. I should have known my usual loose grip on numbers was working. Where should I watch for word that the pre-order via tokens is available?

There is a link on the TGN site for games you can order that are on Impulse only and I'm pretty sure I saw the Elemental pre-order in the list.

Can anyone share a URL? I only got 3 hits for "impulse" at totalgaming.stardock.com, and none of them led to a way to pre-order Elemental.

OK, this thread from Frogboy did it. My TGN tokens are burning through my virtual pocket. I want to contribute to the pre-order stats. Please help me.

Tokens should be used at totalgaming.net.  URL here: http://totalgaming.stardock.com/store/

Elemental is not listed yet but should be soon.

New totalgaming.net games will only be listed in http://tgnforums.stardock.com/328145.

Elemental will never be listed at that store page, and is already listed and buyable from the forum post I mentioned.

Thanks for correcting me if I was wrong . . but I don't see a place in that store to enter tokens.

  • Elemental (Pre-Order) by Stardock. Price: 6 Tokens. Est. Release Date: February 2010. [PRE-ORDER]

Doh!  First link is Impulse adn second is totalgaming.  Not super intuitive but good enough.

Can we pre-order with an other way? I think about transfer. Because I just can't pre order with my card .. it expires in january 2009 (and I don't have my new one). So impulse would charge a card that is out of order. A simple transfer would be easier.

Or will I have to wait for my new card?

Thanks, Kryo. I'm down to 1 token, and AFAIK I should be able to mix it with some cash for the first Elemental expansion pack.

i'm in the same boat.  i have 4 tokens left so i am hoping to be able to use them on the expansions too.
