"You should care because, so far, you''ve sounded like a retard"

 Has anyone from the UK preordered with www.direct2drive.com and got access to the beta program ?

or is it only available to USA / Canda orders?

i had a bloody good go, but it kept popping up an error message saying that my order was placed on hold for "additional verification" and that i should contact the customer services dept to complete purchase. so i did, still waiting on them.

 

unimpressed. prefer steam.

Just had a look at the UK site (didn't know there was one)

Shouldn't D2D be cheaper that retail...

I also thought the EU was getting its own beta but I'm not really sure

 well on the direct2drive.co.uk website they are advertising we can access beta program by preordering. 

£32.95 is a bit steep for a digital download, especially when the boxed version can be bought for £27 roughly online.

box is probably going to be around 35 quid mark in the shops, its not much of a discount for going online really, which is a bit of a shame. or it would be, if they would pull their fingers out of their asses and let me actually buy the bloody thing.
