play.com pre-order pack

[chipper]

anyone got theirs yet or have heard from play when they gonna get it?

[Bahumat]

Nope, nor have I got my Pre Order code

[ileks]

No nothing here. Iirc some people were saying around May. Not to fussed either way, I doubt open beta will start before September.

[Stalkz]

Got 2 copies on Pre-Order since it went up, havent had anything back on either of them...

guess its just the waiting game

[chrislocalboy]

Nope nothing here either, but like someone said I'm sure I've also heard May mentioned.

I would be nice of them to send out a mail to everyone who has ordered it just letting us know..... seeing as the Americans get theirs straight away!

[Dervish]

I was also thinking of posting pretty much this exact same thing. I think the May link comes from the Play.com website where it says:

which means I think we won't be seeing it for a while. I for one would certainly be happier if I had the pre-order box in my hands right now but maybe the only people in EU who have received them where those people who paid the £5 or so for JUST the pre-order pack (think of amazon.de). At this point of course Play.com haven't taken any money from us whereas amazon.de have. Presumably though Play.com still won't have billed us for the CE when they do send the pre-order in May or whenever. But if they need to get the pre-order box to us in time for open beta then they will have to send it without having billed us for the CE so who knows what they're going to do?

Any input here IainC?

[Kremlik]

Nothing here, yet i'm not expecting it until theres a firm beta accouncement for Mythic

warhammer is on pre-order at play.com.release date 29/09/2008.
It will cost £59.99.

so i will not be gettting this game at that price,call it 60 plus subs to rich for me im affraid.

[chipper]

tbh if it turns out im enjoying AoC chance mine will end up on ebay and ill just get a normal edition will have to see if AoC holds ma interest

60 quid is alot and tbh unless you a hardcore fan theres not much point in getting it cos you prob wont appreciate all the goodies only generic reason to buy it is headstart

Vista Collector's Edition - 50% more than the US version and only available through our 1 trusted reseller (so we can keep the cost high). Go on you know you want it, its got a microsoft logo mousemat and everything!

Im not a big microsoft fan but why knock them? Last I looked they didnt regionalise their software so they could profiteer from Europeans.

And yes since Game cancelled my order for a £40 CE I will be getting a bog standard cheapo edition on release assuming AoC is no good

[manxsilverhand]

Lets face it only really orderd CE for the early acess and the beta

[Kremlik]

the way i see it 'access to beta' is a wasted thing, you'll get what like a few weeks of open beta then character wipes.. the real gem of the deal is the early access less damn ppl trying to camp the same mob to prgress in the questing, yet... why quest at all? RVR AT THE WAY!

And silverhand if you don't want the model GIV! as really tbh thats all i want

3 day headstart isnt much alone imo, the knowledge from beeing on in the beta is worth far more, it could make that 3 day headstart be more like a weeks headstart over the people who havent been in the beta and just get the regular version.
