According to a post on the BFBC2 forums by a member who had a reply from Play customer services, Play.com have yet to be given keys from the manufacturer and therefore can't give them to current pre-orders. Looks like there is a delay somewhere.

Are you not gonna buy on Xbox 360? Gonna miss you saying 'I hate this f***ing game' every 5-10 minutes :( :p

Nope, I've gotten way too used to my mouse and keyboard, not to mention the ( much ) improved graphics.

So you will have to acquire the PC version to hear my songs of praise :laugh:

Let me think about it, do I spend ?550 to hear your songs of praise, hmm.

I hope I am not going to be the only one who does actually get it on Xbox 360, gonna be a one man squad otherwise!

Just so you know.... We just started preorders on Battlefield: Bad company 2 (PC only, sorry. Console servers won't be available for ordering). Don't wanna post spam here, but thought It was relevant to the discussion :)

PC dedicated servers have file access locked aside from 3 config files: the main server ini (Not alot of settings there), the mapcycle file (Only one map in the beta though) and the slot reservation config.

Right now, for the beta, the slot amount is limited to 32, although we just found a way to crank it up. We'll do some tests on this in the following days.

Oh and the PC version is gorgeous ;) albeit quite buggy. You are still in for a treat XD

If you want my company's website, I am not gonna post it here (Pretty sure it's against the rules). Send me a PM and I'll tell you.

A question about the whole pre-order and Beta Key thing. A friend of mine pre-ordered at Amazon and got his Beta Key the next day, yesterday I pre-ordered too at Amazon but 2 copies, one for myself and one for another friend. Will I receive two e-mails with Beta Keys?

EDIT: PC version btw.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By sphbecker · Posted

      All versions is correct. The bug appears on any version of Windows with KB5094126 installed. It's a little insane to expect the author to explain that systems that can't possibly have that patch installed, will not experience the bug. If you have any gripe about the title, it would be that it doesn't mention the update at all, but I wouldn't agree with that either. A title is not expected to be a full summery of the article.

    • Report: iPhone Air isn't dead, and a second-generation model is planned for 2027

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
