Since we are always late in recieving games in Belgium I asked my daughter to order the game in UK so at least I would be in game when it starts but guess what ... she ordered the CE in april at play.com and yesterday after some phone calls she recieved their answer :

> Collector's Edition (PC). Please note that the codes being dispatched
> today are for the Standard Edition Early Access and not for the

GoA had previously announced a short 'grace period' for those in the headstart (I think about 7 days) to allow for delays in boxes being shipped out.

Info I was sent suggests that the headstart codes are good till 24th to allow for any delays in receiving game.

Just wondering if anyone has seen this posted on the main site?

The vast majority of you who have pre-ordered a Collector's Edition will finally have this beautiful box in your hands for the 18th September, however we have recently been made aware that, due to delays in the manufacturing process, it may not be possible to guarantee that all CE pre-orders will be shipped in time. A small number of you may therefore experience a delay of a few days. Because of this, we have extended the grace period in which all CE pre-order customers can play without entering your CE retail key from 7 to 14 days. This is in addition to the 7 free days offered to all Open Beta testers.

It might answer some of those questions being asked.

LOL

someone is being awefully quiet there.

Are you kidding? I was banned in the mean time and you have gotten a private message from me.

Read the original post a couple of times, maybe your delusion that EA was going to delay the launch of Warhammer because you and/or your mate couldn't/wouldn't get the CE on time will fade then.

:m00:

Hm, my guess is that Play under-sold their CE allocation, probably as a precaution against overselling Pre-orders, and so they have some leftover...

Much more likely (given the target audience) since yesterday was the day when payments were processed, people neglected to have enough cash and they were denied. At which point I believe play automatically puts it back on the shelf.

My guess is that some people cancelled after the Open Beta.

Manisch, Did I ever say that EA was going to delay the launch because we wouldn't get the CE?
I can't recall I did.
The info we received came from FRS who told us the launch would be delayed, and that a Press release was incoming
But if that's what you understood from it, that's not my fault.
So before you start answering on psots where you haven't understood the text, surf here a bit.

Why do you think we would trust that FRS employee still? you really shouldn't listen store clerks EVER since 99% of time they just bullshitting you to pay more/they screwed up and need extra time.

And you/they also said they going to postpone the launch,allow me to quote you from first post
He claimed that EA is POSTPONING the release date again. Seen the fact that there is no stock at their partner in Holland makes that stronger.

Use some common sense,people always seem to lose it while on internet.

I said the following:
"He claimed that EA is POSTPONING the release date again. Seen the fact that there is no stock at their partner in Holland makes that stronger. "
I didn't say that he they were postponing the release, I said that the FRS employee claimed that.
Learn to read, boys.

Actually my answers were all quite accurate and on the spot. Don't forget to feed Guleesh with his daily portion of milk, he seems to need it more than ever.

Has Anyone noticed that SE Head start Keys dont expire will the 24th Sept?

"Head Start Standard Edition period (15/09/2008 to 24/09/2008 included)"

Does that mean I can register the key which comes with the box on the 24th effectivly giving me Five days free?

Anyone notice this?

EDIT: I'm not going into this any further. Manisch isn't worth the attention he's trying to get

So, as a final update,

I received a mail from FRS that there was a communication error, and that CE's will be shipped tonight and should arrive at the customer's home tomorrow, or friday at the very last.
So, all's well that ends well.

And Manisch, please don't answer to me anymore. Go troll somewhere else

The one trolling are you, I told you from beginning that the clerk in the shop and the people believing him have a wild fantasy. You started to wind me up then with some bullshit comments and called me a prick and an idiot and what not.

I'll make sure I help you out with a velvet gloves post next time you have a problem.

Hello.....
As stated....it was what THEY said.
So what you wanna do with it is your choice.
I just had it put up as a "something that could happen" thing.

I believed in some of it and was proofen right, partly.
there actually WAS a press release stating some orders
were delayed. So shut up with your negative son of a bitch input
(and here comes the ban for me) you overgrown asshole. Get run
over by a train and die a few hours later in hospital because you
did not even manage to jump right, as most retards can't.
I hope the rest of your life is just as unappreciated as it is in here.
Die and rot in hell!

Kiss my ass!

There

I'm leaving the post so folks can see what will easily get you an insta ban.

Manisch - you know full well that you are close on a ban yourself, so behave.

Vinter - glad to see you have the sense to drop it.

Everyone... behave! :twak:
