I said 'may not' because I'm not sure. The April edition was a cover feature (the cover of the magazine was PS2 art), and the UK one has non-PS2 related cover art.

Like I said, it 'may not'. He said 'cover feature' instead of PC Gamer codes. Why differentiate?

I did it last week. I emailed that address in the OP (after i bought the e-magazine) and they replied with a code that worked.

I used my order number, and took a screenshot of my zinio account with the purchase on the page and included it as an attachment just to be safe.

What's with that?

Using Chrome I had the same problem. I switched to Firefox and signed in on the official site rather than the email and it worked.

Well the issue about that is they'd have a duty to provide a functional beta at all times vecause people have paid them directly.

By giving the keys away for free and also distributing them via PC Gamer magazine, they teansfer any risk of beta unavailability as the payment was made for the mag itself rather than just for beta.

You never know - SOE might have gotten a deal out of giving PC Gamer an exclusive which has generated some cash.

I got this and had to change my default browser language to US Englush to get it to work (IE settings, language button, add..., English-US, and then remove any other entries + restart browser).

Found that out in abother thread...bizaar but it works!

Meh. I'd bet that £4.99 that the non-vets won't get much beta time before full open-beta.

TY Arch! I got my beta key! This topic needs to be stickied.

Or you can go sub to PS1 for a month for $15 and get vet status.

great first post! I have a friend that was asking if the key was included in digital copies.

ArchAngelAlien · 2012-06-29, 09:06 AM

Hope it helped.

I would buy a PC Gamer UK since I couldn't buy a US one when I left for Europe. Unfortunately, the cover does not feature PS2 and I'm a vet. The old colony US April edition is still superior to the union jack one.

Can I still do this?
