I can understand why EA is ignoring GAME (due to their bitter feud) but Amazon.co.uk as well, play and HMV must have chucked them a huge backhander for the headstart and ingame items. |

You would think EA would release the beta codes first considering it is their beta..i find that odd. |

anyone from uk can call play.com and ask if they still send early access codes.. since its said on theirs webside that codes will be sent on 28.. and its past that.. and ye im far away from uk :) so calling them is same as preordering from ea shop :X |

Just some more information: EA Online store dates: You can get some discount from the EA store by clicking on the 'Pre-order >' button for Warhammer, selecting the digital download and langauge, and once you are in the 'My Cart' screen just click on the EA logo or anything that will take you out of the cart and a pop up (enable pop-ups) will appear asking you not to leave and offering you 10% discount. I paid £35.99 for each of my copies. Yay. |

However I do not think it would really matter whatever they release them tommorow or today. You can not input it anywhere anyway. |

Why does EA store charge £39.99 & D2D charge £32:99?

Seeing as the American pre-orders seem to be running out I took the jump and ordered from Play (mainly because I want a box, they are usually reliable and the fact that I can't get to a gamestore any time soon). Would have liked the open beta though. I'll keep this updated though if people have any more info.

HI all, I haven't had much luck trying to pre-order the UK (EU) copy at eastore.ea.com or direct2drive.co.uk. My first order on EA got canelled - with no reason. and I could not re-order. I then tried D2D.co.uk only to have some country restriction rubbish. I've been trying to order a copy for the last 3 days now! since my first copy was cancelled. I tried almost everything and current have a D2D support ticket (which I have updated twice) now open for 2 days. Today, I tried a new combination of account/credit card (same PC) and Now have another order from EA. But of course I'm still nervous that it will be cancelled again. My question to other eastore.ea.com buyers in the UK is. Do you have a unlock code yet and have you been able to down load the client on the EAdownload manager? Thanks in advance for your help on this. 8) Hoody 8) Hoodwink |

Glad to see that we're all in the same boat. I ordered a SE copy off of play.com and phoned them just to query about being emailed the codes on the 28th (I ordered after this date and was worried I may miss them). The customer service guy seemed nice enough and had heard of the warhammer online codes (obviously had other people inquiring about them), he merely took my details and said he would send them onto the promotions department and to expect to recieve them soon enough. I trust in play.com's reputation... hoping they get the codes to me on time, but as long as the game arrives @ release i'll be happy, feel no need to rush things. Hope people will update us if they do recieve the codes.

Hi Spaceweed, I live in the UK, tried numerous times to order from D2D.co.uk and eastore with UK accounts and uk credit cards all under my name. It just doesn't make any sense. The eastore.ea.com just kept coming back with a no-chance matey reply. The D2D.co.uk just kept coming back with 'Country restricted' - rubbish. Waiting on support ticket reply, hopefully tomorrow they will be back and reply. Hoody 8) Anyone from the UK ordered from eastore.ea.com and have the unlock code or have downloaded from ea download manager? Thank in advance 8) Got to go now, Night all 8) 2330 here.

I managed to order from the EA store but am now in the process of canceling my order. i say process becuase they need you finger print and blood type to cancel a bloody order.
D2D UK saved my arse tho not only was it cheaper but i got my code 3 mins after ordering.
My advice for everyone avoid the EA store because its shit plain and simple. |

Just wanted to add that I also recommend direct2drive.co.uk (www.direct2drive.co.uk/1/6566/product/Buy-Warhammer-Online:-Age-of-Reckoning-UK-(Pre-Order)-Download), they sent out my OB key the moment I verified my e-mail address. Oh, and if you have any problem receiving your key, make sure you click the "Send Info" button - mate of mine somehow didn't see it and was wondering why we all had keys and he didn't. To the guy having problems, you're not using any kind of anonymous web browsing program are you? Or scripts and whatnot? Try ordering it from a friends/family PC? -iCeh |
