From my twitter, and Sledgehammer answers...

@sledgehammer70 My friend is on a serious budget,but is curious about Defiance.Can it be rented since MMOs need activation codes?

Mathew Everett‏@sledgehammer7018 Mar
@Clay_Pruitt the game will require a unique login.

...yup and you only get a unique log in by providing a unique code that comes with the game.

Thanks Blastiel. You appear to be a calm presence amongst all the screaming :-)

I'll hold on until the UE arrives...but it's going to kill me!

(That's if Amazon don't end up cancelling it in two weeks time. Now that would wind me up!)

Thats why i canceled altogether,i fear another Two worlds II.For those who missed it or were not affected,they moved the date a week before release and then preceded to keep canceling everytime it got close to the new date.Then they eventually told us the cargo ship carrying the load had sank so it would be an even bigger delay.Some people gave up and the rest of us imported so the stores,seeing there orders disappear,told them to **** off.It may not get that bad but this is how it started,at least we can still get the standard game here.

I booked a week off work for this game, and im not letting the -Redacted- at Namco Bandai screw it up.

Ive ordered regular ed to tide me over until UE arrives..i'll just make an alt account for a month.

I cannot..WILL not wait 10 days to play >

amazon are stealing thieving gits and Namco Bandi is the PIMP

please stop posting this type of nonsense. I work for Amazon. I saw the memo about the delay this afternoon. It is not Amazon's fault that the publisher has pushed back the release date. We have no control over their decision. If you are unhappy you can cancel your order by going to your order history. you have not been charged for it.

Shoudl have put this bit as it's quite important, they will accept it opened

Me:Would you accept a standard edition back if it's been opened? In which case I can get this version too and then send it back when my ultimate edition is delivered
John Paul:Based on this circumstance, I will be glad to make an exception and accept the return of the Standard Edition if you would need to purchase it.
I will make sure to leave a note on your so that we will credit your return of the Standard Edition if you would purchase and return it opened.
Me:So how would that work, cause I don't want to end up spending £100 on the same game. Do I need to go online and order a Standard edition now, and what proof would I have of this agreement to accept it back?
John Paul:Yes, you would need to order the standard edition and I will send you an email as a proof that we will accept your return for a full refund even though the game is already opened

I am actually trying to do the same just sent them an email and all.

A lot of games with an online pass have a separate sheet with a code on it, if that's the case then simply swap the codes over with the UE edition when it arrives. The online pass code on XBOX usually gives access to a download which activates the online side of the game.

A lot of people seem to have it though that there will be no online pass for the game, and you can just put it in your drive and play like in the good old days before EA got the idea to stitch up the consumer a bit more. Back in the days when if you have a family with a couple of xbox accounts you could all use the same disk, and all the internet was fields....

B4l00n, try going through the chat option in your orders rather than email. I sent an email at 2pm and still haven't had a reply

Fair enough to you. but if you think about it Amazon is the only UK seller of UE for xbox and from my point of view they have responsibility to their customers.... I would like to cancel it but I cant get UE anywhere else believe me I would if I could... Besides it is pre-order right? so how come it is 'released' after release date? stupid if u ask me....
Lets pray dev's can at least answer to our prayers and sort things out with their publisher cos right now it doesn't look like a good start of a something that can have a great potential...
