I have a fucking key to my dad's '73 Nova SuperSport. That don't mean I'm driving the sumbitch around the block.

As someone who has had an active sub over the past 7-8 years I would expect to be given a key before someone who goes out and buys some magazine as I'm sure quite a few people on this forum would be.

It has been said many times that the current ps subscribers would be looked after, well so far we are still waiting for our keys which should have been handed out first imo.

Gonna have some US friend get me the code.

What I dislike about this is that I bet I will get a beta key at the same time/soon after/little before I get the magazine key and then have two keys and be pissed off I wasted money on the magazine

Last time I looked at a copy of PC Gamer it cost SIXTEEN DOLLARS and I immediately put it back.

I'll be picking up this one, though...

Raymac · 2012-02-15, 02:38 PM

Well this made my day.

NivexQ · 2012-02-15, 02:38 PM

What about the digital version?

Edit :: Never mind, I have reading problems when I get excited... lol

YAYYY

Agree with Mirror and others tbh,

but on the bright side, Beta keys can be input as of... now? can't be too much longer until Beta is active.

*sigh* you know, sometimes I really hate you colonial bastards

That issue is out on the 28th right? We've got just under 2 weeks to hear if PS1 vets will get beta invites as well

I see your high quality vodka, and raise you three bottles of my freshly made tears because we can't get it ourselves.

Great news... I'll pick up a copy.

I have to ask though....

What does PRIORITY ACCESS mean? Does it mean you get in as soon as beta starts? or open beta? Is it an actual Beta key or just something that's moves you up the the top of the selection list?

Reading Comprehension 101 will be your friend for life if you, my friend, but let it:

Today is February 15th. Allegedly this issue hits 28 February. I'm sure that you can do simple math and see how many days remain between those dates. Therefore it stands to reason that they just may actually send you an email if you possessed even the most meagre grasp of reading comprehension and updated your Station account (specifically, email addy) and signed up for beta on the PS2 website. If you didn't do that (I presume, for the record, that you did) well then heinous fuckery most foul shall fall upon your asshole when some kiddie with a magazine gets in before you.

Have a nice day.

I agree with you mirror. but it is what it is. I have spent over 1000$ the past 7-8 years on planetside alone.

Im ok with it. as long as the game is good lol

Great news really good and very excited by it

Now what about subbed PS1 players in Europe could we get a statement as I am starting to feel unloved?

Also, this.

I find it hard to believe that PS vets would be shafted, so my guess is that those who signed up for the beta on the PS2 site and have a station account will get emails with the keys just as soon as the random horde of people who subscribe/read PC Gamer.
