Does this mean EA are the official SE pre-order+bonuses supplier?

I ask because Play, Gameplay and Game are all offering SE pre-orders but there is no mention of the Open Beta Access, Headstart, etc. on their sites.

afaik ea store is only US version

That makes sense but the EA site doesn't make it clear and the price being in pounds rather than dollars would make you think it was the EU version.

I've checked the EA store and haven't seen anything dates given for the Open Beta & Early Access.

If this was the case then Direct2Drive.co.uk would also have the date mentioned as they are owned by EA.

WAR US main page has the advert of 18th as start aswell on the main page.

Faya

could just be the weak dollar. they are just chosing the currency thats better.

doesn't really make sense but guess even EA needs to make money

Ahhh thanks. I checked the eastore website and it never showed this information :S

 

[Zoldot]

uh that aint the CE vers and it says it is open beta access AND live headstart?

then what is the use of buying CE edition? I bought the CE BECAUSE of the open beta + headstart etc

 

[Frosty]

with CE you get a box and disks and lots of bits and bobs.

With SE you have to download the client and get nothing beside the key codes. If you buy a SE copy in the store or online box version you wont get to play the open beta etc.

omg you are SOOO late for that discussion. Mark Jcaobs didn't sleep for about 72 hours after details of the SE pre-order we released. It's all the whole WAR related internet talked about for a week.

afaik ea store is only US version

If you zoom in on the picture of the box it says goa on it which would indicate european version

Good point.

The US version from Amazon.com shows a different box cover which doesn't say GOA on it.
