dam, i was thinking of doing that too. kinda a shaft when you paid just as much for the mag, but dont have anything to show for it.

RedKnights · 2012-06-15, 12:27 AM

They must have had some sort of quota, that's a shame for you

I'm sure you can find one or two at a Kroger, Publix, or what have you.

Wasn't it said that you needed to only provide a proof of purchase to the PS2 devs to get a key?

Atheosim · 2012-06-15, 01:11 AM

Just pay $20 to play planetside.

I live in the US so I can't buy one.
I would play planetside, but but you can no longer create a new subscription for it.

That's not true.

Go there, get your Planetside subscription. Go to the Planetside main website to acquire the game client. They made it hard as hell to figure all that out, but there you are.

You do have buy the full game if you don't own it already so yeah 20 dollars. But its possibly guaranteed beta access if you do it now maybe. Seen people pay way more than that for beta keys of popular titles.

I had that same problem, wanted to buy planetside and couldn't figure out how to. Go to soe.com, log in, then go to "shop" at the top bar (not "Game Pass Info") and you can buy it from there.

Game is active enough to get some good gameplay, I made this video from recent footage.

Who did you email? Did you purchase the UK or US edition?

If it's the UK edition, that goes directly against what is said here:

You will receive a beta code with every version of the magazine. Those getting the mag digitally should receive the code later this week - probably Wednesday. If you don't get one, the Giftageddon e-mail is your best bet. Everyone will get a code (unless you're the person who has currently sent the same proof of purchase four times from different e-mail addresses.)

We're going to take feedback on board and make the gift instructions much clearer in future issues - this has been a popular giveaway, and I'm writing a lot of explanatory e-mails at the moment! Please bear with us.

Cheers - and see you in PS2!

Chris

I suggest you try again, pointing them to the above post.

Make sure you're emailing: [email protected]

If it's the US version you bought, then it's probably too late. That edition is months old.

Thought you were a l33t vet? Why would you want to farm PC Gamer mags?

Might have buddies that want to try it or something.... also, being a vet doesn't guarantee you'll get in the beta with the first wave, having two keys doubles your chances. Or rather, having one key and being a vet does... I suppose.
