Yeah no shops carry PC Gamer here and I don't blame them because it's £6...... Only bought copies for the PS keys, would never pay £6 for a mag.... £3 is my limit.

Thanks a lot Harrod!

Because of you I do not have to camp the PS2 facebook wall anymore. The key you got me worked and I even got 199 Station Cash out of it! Let the Beta commence!

I actually do not have a clue, lol. But I'm not complaining! It's like €2 in station cash, so I ain't a PS2 billionaire yet!

I got a spare PC Gamer key too. Not asking for money, so the quickest legitimate PM gets it.

Shepherdx · 2012-06-13, 03:45 PM

Is that key still out there? If you won't accept money, what about adoration and compliments?

My! What a lovey hairstyle you've chosen today! It compliments you face's perfectly formed lines wondrously! Oh how I wish I were as good looking as you are!

How about I name my first born child after you? Little redmorninglory would be grow into adulthood yearning to match the unbounded generosity of his namesake.

The beta key has now been redeemed guys. Check back here regularly as I MIGHT post more, if I can get my hands on them.

NePaS · 2012-06-14, 06:50 AM

Can not find a copy ANYWHERE...
Tesco=nope
Asda=nope
WHSmith=nope

Is someone having having a laugh?

Leeds is terrible!

Greenthy · 2012-06-14, 07:02 AM

How about the international version ?
Does it come with one as wel ?

Having a key > hoping they keep their word for PS1 players

Fab · 2012-06-14, 07:08 AM

redmorninglory, you seem to be my last hope!
I am no veteran, and i can't find PCGamer in my country. I don't tweet or facebook...
I think I was among the first ones to apply for a beta key when SOE opened the inscriptions but I have little hope to enter the closed Beta..
From what i understood, closed beta will last only 2 to 3 weeks (E3 intel, correct me if I am wrong), so the waiting should be short..

You can buy the UK PC Gamer digitally. You won't get the key immediately, but if you email them with proof of purchase, they will send you one.

So if u buy pcgamer digital issue #241, and you email them with proof of the purchase, they will send a beta key?

One of them has to get in!

... You realize that by doing that - when all PS1 accounts are supposed to be guaranteed to get in - you're going to wind up crowding out other people with your junk accounts (it's not like you'll be playing more than one, is it?) unless the devs spot them and either block them for being duplicates, or account for them being unused later.

Waste of keys, too, as the PS2 staff have said all PS1 players will get in and get priority over everyone but PC Gamer key owners, from what I recall (which is to say, IIRC they have the same priority, for some reason).

I have a twitter key on my account, and now these new PC Gamer magazine keys are coming out, and correct me if I'm wrong, but they're going to get into the beta before I do, despite that I registered my key first? (Not that I want to sound entitled for actually managing to get one of the publicly posted twitter keys, when PS1 players have been subscribing for years (assuming they don't just have an account from when it was temporarily free))

The last time I had a subscription to PCGamer must've been 10 years ago. Why don't I anymore? I play more console games than PC games, and reviews are available on the Interweb.

Of course, to be honest, it would be nice to have some kind of invite system (not using facebook) if closed beta lasted any substantial amount of time.
