Got Ultimate edition...

[Mordaeus]

So I got the ultimate edition from GS - ... we wont get our copies till tomarrow, so no key or anything other than the Pre-order key ..... so do we get excluded from preloading and playing at the stated launch times..... ?

[Hopswigh]

That would be correct sir.

Pretty much all physical copies have this issue.

Well we'll have the cool Art book / Music CD and HellBug to play with while it loads and updates! and a Bag to stick stuff in... ^_~

Those poor people with digital downloads have to sit and twiddle their thumbs ^_^

Yes. If you spent the $150 on the UE, you're a second class citizen that doesn't get to pre-load. I don't really see why not, since they could easily have allowed box owners to pre-load, without allowing them to actually play until the CD key was registered.

GameStop sent me an e-mail today that my UE has been shipped. I purchased the physical copy.

[Mordaeus]

Ya it's shipped, but won't get it till tomorrow, can't preload it to play at the specified launch times.... goes to show how much they care about those of us, that support them by getting the UE .... * Sad panda *

Not really. I just sit and watch the video unboxing. =P

When has anyone ever been able to pre-load a physical/boxed copy purchase, even a pre-order?

Every single time I pre-order a retail copy from somewhere like amazon, the game always arrives on the 'day of' release, never earlier.

I don't get why people are expecting their game to arrive any time other than the day the game releases?

hmmm well Swtor, AOC, RIFT , and a few others that I have played, which i got the collector boxed editions and was able to preload each and every one of them.... why must I be penalized to play at 12pm my time just because I decided to get the UE ..
