Just take the survey again (after logging into your account as Matt directs) and it should update your old survey.

No no, the point is that there isn't a difference between the twitter keys (which give priority beta access when entered) and PCgamer keys. They're all just 'Priority Keys'.

And yes, it does make me feel better.

Anyone who thinks that paying 4.95 to get a beta key takes anymore effeort than photoshopping some fanart must have some serious money woes...good thing PS2 is F2P in that case

I was about to post the same thing. A lot of unqualified estimations disguised as fact in that post.

EDIT: Appears I caught the tail end of a merge.

Are keys still being given out? I'd like to get one for a friend who isn't a vet

Don't think your chances would improve really.

They're looking at a range of computers, the newer your stuff the less chance you'd have of getting in, as it's more likely more people will have the same stuff as you. That's how it works out in my head anyway

Edguy ‏@roperstv
@j_smedley Will ProSiebenSat be managing the EU beta test or will that be SOE?

John Smedley‏@j_smedley
@roperstv A combination of the two.

Ohhh no. I have a bad feeling about this. I don't mind if this means that the beta starts a day later or something, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is a month later. Can we get some clarification on this? (ugh, why am I even trying)

negative hamma's statement on it is refrencing when he visited SOE

They told him straight from their mouth in person.. i don't see that suddenly changing priority

Point is

PS1 vets highest priority

PC gamer is next highest priority

Facebook and twitter is next after that.

As they said they will mix it up so it won't be only all PS1 vets get in first etc over others

but there still is a priority breakdown.

Would be criminal of them to tell people way back go out and buy a PC gamer mag for a code and tell people it's next priority behind vets

only to then give away a ton of codes on twitter and facebook that have the exact same priority

Use your brains.

I don't care when i get in.. but still use your brains and not wishful thinking.

Source please. I've yet to see anything on this outside hearsay.

edit: Just searched Hamma's posts. No source given outside that tweet.

he and jenny boo said so during their livestream and IRC chat. it's recorded somewhere on this site

Edit here you go: recorded and broadcasted well after the twitter and facebook keys were started

30 min 40 sec mark is the info

It's not as simple as that. Radar explained that all vets may not get in before anyone else.

Besides, people handpicked for tech test have highest priority.

Yes most people with keys aren't getting in first wave. Already knew that, way too many keys out there. Still not relevant to the pcgamer vs twitter key debate.
