Their site just says "Early Game Access" and I just rang up too and the guy didn't mention the Open Beta. However the guy didn't seem to know an aweful lot about it, looking it up on the PC it was obvious he was struggling to get the info. He also said something about getting the codes tomorrow and being able to get into the game 3 weeks early, which obviously cant happen.

Think i'm going to wait till tomorrow to order, if you dont mind posting if you infact got an OB code. I'd prefer to have a box and so am likely to buy from Play.com anyway, and i'm in CB so get OB automatically, but I want another code to give to a housemate to try and get him into it.

Mind me asking, assuming D2D means direct2drive - Did you recieve any codes or anything at all from then yet?
I´ve ordered the pre-order from there aswell, but i havent recieved anything, except confimation that i have bought a preordered game..
Altho i did email a tech guy, and hes answer was that i would get an email with something, on the EU beta release day.
Seems wierd, if people allready have those so called "codes"...

Just wondering tbh. This whole "desperatly trying to go to play WAR", is getting on my nerves allready :) might aswell relax.

The people who already have codes are probably those like me who got the collectors edition, the early release, open beta and extra item codes were mailed out for that a long time ago.

I hope you guys do get your codes today (28th), but i wouldn't hold your breath.
There were numerous promises made by Play.com as to the availability of CE codes, none of which turned out to be true.

The bottom line here is nobody at Play.com has any idea about anything.

They've been there since they moved the websire to the new servers a while ago.

Well my one concern is the last time I pre-ordered a CE of something from Play. I pre-ordered the CE of City of Villians, and it didn't arrive until a fortnight after the release date. Constant calls to Play's customer service yielded nothing but excuses.

I'm just hoping they don't screw this one up. If I lose my head-start progress and have to wait for two weeks again before I can actually start playing again, I will be most.....displeased.

I have 2 boxes with codes, One from play.com as i have a CE pre ordered and one that cost me £10 from HMV. the best gift sent to my house before OB starts gets the extra codes ;)

Anywho good luck, Never heard anything like that about play. everything i have ordered from them has always arrived on time and many times before expected .

Called Play.com, they didn't have a clue about Open beta, just early access.

Gonna wait for the announcement, if there is one that is.
