Hi, does anyone sell City Of Villains PreSale Disk?

I just want the bleeping power slide, nothing else.
Considering other pre orders became vet rewards why can we still not get power slide? |

I'm not objecting to making it available again but if I had to guess why it hasn't been released I'd say because it was specifically intended to only be a part of the collector's edition and they don't want to change it.
I sincerely hope they change their minds tho. |

Unless you know specifically where the CoV pre-order box came from, snagging the helmets you want will be a crapshoot.

IF YOU APPLY ONE PRE-ORDER CODE, YOU ARE UNABLE TO APPLY ANY OTHER PRE-ORDER CODES. YOU CAN ONLY GET ONE PRE-ORDER HELMET PER ACCOUNT. You can get all four helmets in the veteran/paragon rewards program.

I'd like the exclusive things advertised as exclusive which I purchased to remain that way, thanks. |
When they released the digital hero kit in response to player requests it stopped being exclusive.

*NO* item that was released as part of a specific edition has been "released" for free. ONLY items that were released as part of preorders - which you did not pay more for - were. (The four preorder sprints and the helmets.)
The devs have (properly) stated that they *will not* release things people paid (sometimes extra) for (the collectors edition items, essentially) for free. They never said anything about releasing packs that others *would* pay for. And they never guaranteed they wouldn't release the preorder items to everyone else - in fact, when we were getting COV preorders, they told us to expect it later.
Prestige Power Slide was not part of a preorder. It and the Cape of Four Winds were part of the COH CE release (and later the Hero Gear kit.) It will not be given away free.
I have no argument with them releasing, and charging for, the items, much like they did for the GvE items, Mac Pack items, etc. Yes, even though I paid for them when they came out.
What Bill said
Note they have never (to my recollection) offered the hero gear kit online because it included the Statesman (sans Cape) heroclix. Maybe they will offer the cape and the sprint in the market.
One can hope.

My only error was in using the term digital. I forgot the Hero Gear Kit that was sold on the PlayNC online store was a physical item that was mailed to the customer and included a code to unlock the ingame items.

The Hero Gear Kit was simply the CoH DVD edition without the box (collector's edition, but it wasn't called that, it was called City of Heroes DVD Edition, because the original CoH was on CD(s)).

It wasn't anything special. They had a bunch of DVD editions and cannibalized them. They were first sold at meetups and given away as contest prizes, then sold on the NCsoft store (that's where I got mine) until they (almost) sold out. They still have a few, because AFAIK they have been sold at HeroCons at the "out of game market". (Although I don't think they were available at the last one, which wasn't a HeroCon but a big meetup.)

Correct, they were sold at both Hero-Cons, but not at Meet & Greets.

It was a general reply to the last several posts. Free was more looking at Chaos's post to clarify why it wouldn't be. But the "exclusive" bit does play into it - it's a part of a specifically purchased SKU.
