Humor is the best medicine....

Well, it's at least comforting I'm not alone in this :)

Hopefully, they'll do something about extending the grace period for those who've already spent their money on pre-orders... At least send us a temporary code till our mail orders arrive...

I've read conflicting reports that amazon will email the cd codes. Maybe that might happen... or another option is to buy from cd code site. I found one mentioned and buried somewhere in this thread: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1826058&p=46 But my spider sense is telling me might be dodgey....

@zeddikas, i love that video!!

Oh man... Zedd, I got to say, you're awesome :)

I lol'd so hard! Thanks for the laugh ;)

That was toooo funny. I woke up my room mate I was laughing so hard.

Thank you Zeddikas for that video! I laughed out loud and scared my cat! Now he's downstairs and thinks he needs to eat again... must have been traumatic for him. LOL

LMAO!

OMG that was soooo funny... Thank you for sharing that...

:blink: They better give us a grace period for hard copy preorder or I may just head up to Austin and go postal with a collectors edition Lightsaber on their arses :whistle: haha

Your welcome guys. I couldn't stop laughing myself.
Let's see how this pans out. There has been so much response,so many angry people, they might change their minds.

Omg that was hilarious Zeddikas thanks so much I had tears running down:)

Being in NZ I too am a bit pissed. No way is Amazon gonna open 10's of thousands of game packs and email all our codes to us.

Using a VPN is also no good as your credit card address needs to match the address you give the game peeps.

Guess we get early access then stop playing on the 20th until the game arrives :(

Even if Aussies and Kiwis get the game on the 20th I am not sure how payment is going to work as origin clearly reject our details.

Anyone got good ideas let us all kn ow..thanks :woohoo:

Wookie, Ryyven, I think I've found the best option so far...

My housemate uses this package consolidation site, http://www.shipito.com/ to get them to forward on packages from the US (US hates sending to the rest of the world, where's australia lol). My housemate had no problems in the past. Shouldn't be too hard to change the amazon shipping address to the shipto one. They should receive by the 22nd and I can get my code emailed to me (haven't yet confirmed but it should be ok) and then my CE sent out later on.

Waiting for 2 days is much better than waiting till sometime after 25th, or risk using some dodgey gold seller site. Thoughts??

Good idea

Im still gonna hang fire for a day or so and see what transpires..still hoping on a grace period or a statement from amazon.

Does anyone besides me think that movie should be made "best in history", for all of the versions that have been made so far? :lol:

To funny, thanks for that vid.

Ya know what...after the 20th of December most of all this anger is going to go away and folks will be playing the game, having fun, laughing at how many times I've crashed my ship into something durning space combat and over all enjoying the game and each others company.

I know lots of folks are going to say "but I was told I was going to get early access", if you don't get in till the 20th or the 22nd, that is okay as the game will be here, your guild mates will be here and the galaxy will go on. Just think, a year from now I wonder if anyone will even be able to give specifics on all this complaining.

Thanks to Fauxy for reminding me to check my email. The instructions from BioWare was there with the button to download. I'll do that tonite.

As they said they will start early access on the 13th, I do not expect to get the invite for the 13th and actually hope I don't as I have to work next week, with the exception of the 16th which I have off. I figure a 3 day weekend will be enough.

I think the thing that set people off the most was Stephen Reid's implication that we (the players) misunderstood something when it was clearly shown that he had posted an faq about it.

Well I don't think its as simple as that. A vast number of players are in the red zones and can't get access to the game after launch. For eg, in australia there is no way to get game access unless you import from sites like amazon. No digital option, no way you'll get it before xmas. December if you're lucky, and even with the pricey priority shipping.

This is so frustrating. Such a simple problem, they know I've preordered, they can have my cc details, I'll pay 3mth/6mths/whatever!! Why can't we play at launch like the yanks and euros??? Is it really that hard?

No what this is about, is getting people to cancel where ever they have preordered and order from origin, so EA gets more $$$

Yes, I do get your point Van, you're right, it's not a life changing problem, I should just build a bridge and all that etc. Its just very frustrating to be put to the side, yet again, for the priority zones. Red zones got left out of most of the beta, I registered from day 1, I would of even PAID to play beta. I've been waiting for ages and planned and set aside time this xmas period to get my gaming on, only to be shafted yet again!! It just absolutely sucks. I'm not the only one, there's massive threads all over the place.

So please, do not trivialize my nerdrage. Unless you live in the red zones, you do not know how powerless AND SUCKY it feels right now.

** sorry for ranting **

Well sorry that folks get so worked up over this and no I don't live in a red zone.

I'm probably just to old to get all worked up over pixels and access to a mmo. (that's just me thou) I do like mmo's and I get just as excited as the next person on release and so forth.

I just don't take them to heart as others do and I won't let it get me upset. I save the rage for stuff like the fact my company is going to have layoffs in the next month (yeah....merry christmas) and many good people are going to be out of work while a bunch of over paid executives get to keep their jobs.

Again sorry you guys are not getting on as early and no need to apologzie for being upset and venting. If I could ship you a game I would but not sure how that would work.

Darn. I did burn the last of my pto starting the 16th so I'd be ready. BioWare, you pulled a fast one! *shakes fist at the sky*

:blush: I'd feel ashamed of using the time for a video game if six other co-workers hadn't done the same thing for Skyrim, CoD/MW, and other games throughout the year.

Why be ashamed?

"It's your PTO. Use it when you need it." (in a J.G. Wentworth voice)

uh... because my remaining PTO was an entire week and used right before Christmas :D Thats right, there is about a 10-day window during which you should not see me sign off :D

But, hey, the bosses really stressed that we HAD to use what was left or we would lose it, and it just happened to be what was open on the calendar, hahaha.
