Same here, the link works now.

I just bought it, but alas no receipt or charge on my credit card. Must still be working out the kinks!

Its been known for awhile you can purchase weapons with station cash.

I believe when they said all items will be cosmetic they were referring to cash only items that cannot be unlocked by other means.

I want to buy it i really want. But i cant till EU is properly sorted out. I dont want to buy it to account that could be already flagged as EU one, and unable to play with it after transfer (no pro7 account for me).
So i just sit quietly and envy you all that can buy it.

Why you think that? :s

Not interested at all. I will take a second look in december.

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet,

Smed just Tweeted this:
"Why do we have a December 31st 2012 date up there? Is that the launch date? - No. It's not. It's launching when beta is over. We don't know when that will be. But we have to put a date up there for the lawyers to be happy. We've always said we were launching this year. If we make the game we're proud to release and beta is great then yes? When will that be exactly? When the game kicks ass."

$40 for $40 worth of station cash plus some other Planetside 2 goodies? I'm sold. Let the "Shut up and take my money!" begin.

Very tired, so bear with my rambling..

Though the models currently look better in game than these screenshots, my initial concerns with the models were mostly to do with vanu - some body part sizes. Above is one example where the characters thighs and bum looks strangely small.

I have some personal feedback on the vanu armour too. Its very minimalistic (plus I probably haven't seen customisations) but I like the more plate armour style, like the heavy assault has or as seen in screens of the PS1 Vanu armour. Less Star Trek and more crysis/mass effect style I suppose.

I also think that it would be nice to see that interesting alien green sheen (like a beetles back or the bird image below) on purple vanu armour, rather than just green or purple armour. This seemed to be present in PS1.

Just my two cents...as they say.
