News: PC Gamer April Issue with Beta Key - Page 39

shinything · 2012-02-29, 04:00 PM

FYI the Canadian version of PC Gamer has codes in it as well. Just bought 4 on the newsstand in Toronto at Shoppers Drug Mart and got 4 confirmed codes.

Price $10.99 CAD ea.

So is everyone buying multiples to increase the chance of getting in faster?

Maybe I will pick up 10 more tomorrow and set up more station acts

It seems they want the 3 factions to play radically different from each other. The ability to include equipment from another faction could really throw their playstyles off and be almost impossible to balance effectively.

It might be something we do post-launch.

I'm sure you get bombed with this stuff every day Matt, so I'm sorry if I'm a broken record here...

But is there any more detailed information about beta selection that you can give out? What exactly are 'Priority' beta keys from PC Gamer compared to just signing up for a key? Will EU players be in the beta?

Don't do that man, don't assault them with questions you know they can't answer when they come here to engage in discussions about the things they can. Makes us look bad.

Sadly, I couldn't find where to request a key for my digital copy. A link perhaps?

Couldn't find any at the Barnes and Noble but the shitty ass Walmart had some. Grabbed a pair. Can't wait for this party to get started!

I also found a copy at a local walgreens in my area which had a pile of them in stock in case anyone hasnt gotten an issue. You may have some luck there.

Dreamcast · 2012-03-04, 03:18 AM

I got mine but $9 for the magazine....Damn is expensive lol.

I remember when PC gamer use to give out Demo's back in 2001.....and they cost less....

Maarvy · 2012-03-04, 07:17 AM

So it's just me that feels like a idiot for having a US guild mate go and buy a bunch of mags at considerable effort and expense to aquire beta keys for a beta that has no start date ? .

Matt Higby must be getting a phat christmass card from pc gamer this year , thats all I can say .

Reni · 2012-03-05, 02:28 AM

FINALLY!

I finally got my beta key! *does the happy dance*

Sorry, had to post it. I'm deployed in Afghanistan and I finally was able to contact a friend back home and asked for the favor.

Now the hurry up and wait game to get back stateside and cross my fingers that I don't miss beta. LMAO!

Some people have had luck at local super market and pharmacy stores. I found mine relatively easily by hitting the closest book retailer (Books-A-Million in my case, but Barnes & Noble and/or Borders would also likely carry them as well.)
