I'm one of those people

Still hoping to get in before the weekend. Regardless of when you order it, you should still get at least 2 days early access...otherwise, it's a bit of a rip off charging you.

I'd be very surprised if you didn't - I'm expecting Day 1 to all get in at noon, and the rest of July at least over the course of the first day.

I preordered mine right away but forgot to redeem the code until the 25th

GAME in Limerick have confirmed the 15th as well, again with the caveat the game won't actually be up until the 20th (unless you get into headstart earlier).

Nice one i ordered mine off Play.com i am a bit worried that they will not delivery and i wont get code till well after 25th . mind you i don't want to cancel my order as i have put my pre order code into the system and am not sure will it affect it ?

Preorder code isn't tied to your order at all in any way

Why you'd order off Play.com is a mystery though! There is zero chance you'll get that for release day, unless they do ship them out earlier again, if the new "release date" (sorta) is the 15th.

If you cancel your order and get it elsewhere, your preorder code is not affected in any way, Play can't revoke it and it isn't tied to the copy they'd send you anyway.

[ZeitgeistGlee]

As koneko said your preorder and game codes are separate so you can cancel any preorder without actually losing your preorder code. At this point, if you're worried about delivery and have just ordered a regular edition I'd go to GAME/Gamestop/whoever and just put in an order there to ensure you're able to pop in and get it on the 15th, or at least, before launch.

Play.com have been dodgy for a long while on delivery tbh.

Game are still taking pre-orders for Standard Editions, but if you already have a preorder code, you can just preorder/buy the game anywhere really.

Indeed, I only suggest a preorder (with GAME considering Gamestop told me the last time I was in there the €5 for preorder was a separate charge they won't give you back) so that in the event he buys from an already heavily booked store he's sure he's able to pick up a copy when he wants.

They didn't really charge you though, unless you went with a crappy retailer who didn't make it a deposit.

Still, I'd expect to see everyone in by the 15th or 16th personally, based on how well the beta weekend went. This is shaping up for an absurdly smooth launch.

Nice FAQ here...which i pretty much just read in it's entirety

http://liberi-fatali.net/the-old-rep...guide-and-faq/

[red_ice]

Just want to clarify this... If i order the game from the website tonight, I will be able to start downloading the game and be able to play it in the 15th(or 13th) when it goes live?

Will it update from my beta test? Or is it a completely new install? I really dont want be be messing around with this, I just want to get going when it goes live and not have to sit around for a day waiting on it to download!

[Raphael]

If it was after the 25th, you should be fine

[koneko]

When did you beta test? If you did on the 25th of Nov or after you're sorted, no need to do anything

If you order the game tonight and get a preorder code and redeem it, you will get some early access but definitely not for the 13th. Remains to be seen how much headstart access late-preorders get. If you do get access on the 15th, you'll be lucky, but it depends on how they're organising it.

It was meant to be 5 day headstart maximum, and the 5 full day access being dependent on redeeming your preorder quite early. They changed it to 7 days now, so who knows.

[ZeitgeistGlee]

If you preorder tonight you probably won't get in on the first day of headstart but you should still get at least one of it. That would mean the 19th. The game itself is still launching on the 20th, they're just allowing retailers to sell boxed copies a few days early to make sure people are able to get their codes before launch now that there is no grace period.

Regarding your beta client, if you downloaded it for either last weekend or the weekend before lasts, you should be fine and it'll update itself. If you have one from before that probably best to uninstall and get a newer version (though the website is down atm).
