I just preorderd my CE addition there aswell

just a normal confirmation order tho no email about beta it sounds like they will send one out via email when around may or "when beta begins" hope i dont get screwed !

Taken from the play.com description of WAR CE:

Ok, last post went wierd when I posted the description in, anyways.....

So things are not happening for a while yet, obviously it gives time for Mythic to work out how many CE's have been pre-ordered and to allocate numbers to the stores, as said in an earlier post we have retailers in the UK who deliberatly take more orders than they know they can fill just to up their allocation.

So when allocation have been done in May onwards we will hopefully get a better picture of what is happening.

I know that europe is getting 55,000 CE boxes how many are being launched in the US?

For the people who do not have your codes yet, and got the confirmation email, they are two separate emails and take some time to get out. As to 55k in EU, there are 60k in the US.

I sent a email asking about the beta codes a couple of hours ago and just now I got a mail from the store that said my Beta codes is on their way via the ordinary mail service. It also said that it was a first come - first serve system. I wonder where in the line I ended up.

The Second Day Vet

So for someone like me who lives in Portugal (or to anyone who don't have a retail or online store available to pre-order in their country)... What would you guys think is best to order from, Sweden or UK?
I think I'm going to pre.order from Play.com (UK) - both swedish and UK currency isn't in Euro (€), so what do you think is best?
Also I'm guessing that the swedish version will only come in english not like the german or french version (even if actually french is my mother tongue) but I'm just guessing as I've seen german videos in german language only.

Cheers!

Edit -PS: oh and by the way, 59.99 £ is about 77 € if I'm correct...

Edit (again, sorry for that) - just saw that Play.com can change currency, so I feel more at ease to order it from there, just one problem it's almost 100 bucks! 93 €! Oh well I sometimes spend as much on booze so... 
[and by the way re-cheers!  - I think I should be a Dwarf and not Chaos... hmm... *me thinking*]

LOL!
You probably don't know this from my earlier posts (there are quite a few of them) but I'm a Chaos freak owning several editions of miniatures, only Chaos of course (well I bought some wood elves for my girlfriend once...  - got to admit that - the shame!), from 40K, Epic to Fantasy. Anyway we're getting off topic.
I thank you for having the time to check on the website for me even if I found it myself.
Cheers !! (it's never enough!)

After contacting gameplay i was told that they haven't recieved any information regarding beta access for CE pre-order yet. He/She did say that if they recieve confirmation then they will send the codes out  but also stated that they (gameplay) might not be part of this arrangement. Which i find to be pretty starnge as gameplay are probably the best site in the UK for ordering games. Far better than play.lol, HMV, and Amazon.

I'm terribly sorry for double posting but then which one would you recoment then?
Play.com seemed pretty fine for me as they clearly state that you'll get into Beta.
As to quote (someone already posted that but here it is):

I think yes.. not a big problem for me coz gmail blocks spam so good that sometimes i feel like they are the ones who send it

Alright Harg, thanks for the insight and to put my mind at ease, really.

Cheers!

This topic reminds me how once me and my guilde (warlock) were qusting in some cave while both listening wow-radio.. topic was awareness and that lock kept bodypulling adds while going backwards

And it's 20 € more for euro currency users like me:
If I'm not mistaken 55.99 is about 73 €, when you click on their currency change it goes to 93 € !
I've used this link to exactly know how much.

what if you order at £ prices? prices on steam are in $ but it still accepted my £s :D

Well it doesn't state on the WAR website, but i have pre-order my collectors edition from game uk. I aint sure if it counts as online or store, since i pre-order online. But yeah you can pre-order the collectors edition there if your uk, for some reason play.com was removed? ;s

I think when they ment order online, i am pretty sure it only counts as EA's online store. Places like game and amazon etc  send out the same versions that stores get (ye i know amazon doesnt have a store but i have ordered from them before). Which is why i can come to this conclusion.

As for Europe customers, if it is going through another company than what teh US players are, then we will have to wait and see (just like Lotro, Daoc and others) we have to wait to almost retail release before we find out what (if any) offers we get.

The thing is though that every other retailer/site are selling the CE for £39.99, play.lol reckon that the beta thing will get them alot of orders so they stick another £20 on the pricetag. I'm sorry but thats disgusting and real low.

@ Harg -Totally agreed of course.

@ CrazyLatvian - Hmm I'll see what I can do about getting it to £. I hope it's possible otherwise...

I too have preorderd mine from play.com and all i got was the standard email saying order confirmed.

Has anyone got official conformation from play.com that we will be getting beta keys and any info on how they will be delievered to us?

Seems lame that the American pre-oders can already get theirs and sign up for the open beta accounts(altho they can't play it yet)

Originally posted by harg

I'm sure with the play.com one that its says something about the beta in May so that will probably be when you get your key.

But play.com upped it's price to £59.99 which is effectively $119.99, complete rip-off.

That'll probably be the standard or they'll drop it with all the others.

To get the pre-order bonuses int he UK you HAVE to buy from HMV or Play.com. NO other retailer will provide you with the pre-order 'special bonuses' (early start, open beta etc)

The official word from play.com is that they are emailing us our codes in MAY.  So don't worry :)

I'm sure before they updated their site with the beta info on CE it was £39.99. Then after the update it was suddenly £59.99, they must think they have an exclusive deal. I hope they don't.

Play.com DO have the UK's exclusive deal with EA Mythic as stated on Warhammer website. Play are the only online seller of WAR CE that gets the ADDITIONAL stuff (the open beta access, the headstart when the game goes live etc) HMV get the brick and mortar store deal which offers the same extras.

As far as I know, all other sellers of the CE just get the normal CE box contents without the beta access and headstart.

THe entire roll out of this CE has been an abysmal mess of confusing and conflicting information. I am so determined to get the CE with extras, that I bought one from Play.com the moment the page was updated with the correct info, AND bought one from Game.co.uk JUST IN CASE <shakes head> I'm sure I can ebay any extras, but I shouldn't have to DO IT THIS WAY GODDAMIT!
