well gamestops product page now says "Online Customers: A beta activation code and download instructions will be emailed beginning January 27th, 2010.", whereas before it said the code/download info would be mailed out on the 26th...love how no one can get their crap straight these days...it would have been nice to get the information and download link today because im sure some people will need a fair bit of time to download the hefty file im sure...that and im sure the servers are gonna get murdered when the link go's live

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:

Aw :(

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.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
