Ok thanks I have the flu so I guess ~$16.00 isn't bad for a weekends entertainment

So just to reassure myself, he said, "if you're subscribed to PS1 before monday, 8am, you are in the beta monday at 2PM"

Right?

Right?

acording to that tweet by smedley yes, that would be correct.

however he didnt say the download would be avalible before 2 pm, so pending on that, you may or may not get to play for a while (i assume its atleast 10 gigs)

No worries at all about that!
After all this time... It's 3 days away.

You need to use Gamefly's client to access the CD key, but do not use it to install the game. Use SOE's launcher found on their site.

Are you sure this counts as being an active subscriber? Is this just the aftershock expansion and not the full game?

Yes. I got it along with two friends a week and a half ago. It's the full game.

Cool. I already have a PC Gamer priority key, but I have school starting in two weeks and I'm not sure f I will make it in before then... would you suggest I buy the subscription?

That depends on how badly you want in. Do you really want to play Planetside 2 on Monday as opposed to waiting 2-3 weeks? Or is it worth $10 to you in order to play it first?

Ultimately the choice is yours. I got it because I actually wanted to check out PS1 before the PS2 beta started. Wasn't even expecting to get in because it was after the free time was given out. If you got $10 to spend, why the hell not?

Hmm, I was already a reserve in PS1 and I have a twitter giveaway key. Not sure if I should jump in on this.

Confirmed I just followed your steps and it worked.

it's the full game with 30 days etc for 10 bucks.

Serotriptomine · 2012-08-04, 02:25 AM

Active subs - monday, anytime sub = Monday->2weeks. Priority keys = 2-4weeks. etc

So it's up to you.

HEY GUYS, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A KEY, GO PICK IT UP FROM SOE AND PAY BOUT 25 BUCKS, YOU'RE IN BETA~~~~~~

Nice Smed. Nice. You said cutoff was pre-30 free days. Now its monday? the fuck...

HEI GUIZ IHM A SPEZZIAL ELITE NERD GAMER WHICH THINKS NO ONE BUT ME SHOULD BE ALLOWED IN BETA HEHEHE

problem?

It's summer and it's beautiful. Don't pay for an old, shitty game to play their new, buggy, broken game. Go hiking and swimming and start jogging if you don't and before you know it you'll be in the beta and you'll be glad you didn't spend any money to be in it, because it will not live up to your expectations.

Thought the exact same thing and already had a PC Gamer key, decided to go for it and spend the $15. Finishing the last few weeks of summer with Planetside 2 sounds good to me.

Now see, you mistake me for being mad. Quite honestly, I saw this coming a mile away. Nice projection you got going there though.

This is *exactly* like Smedley to pull something like this. I figure, I'll just make note of his previous words with his current words for comparison for later on.
