Update from EA about UK pre-order

[BrokenMachine]

OK guys found this on the EA UK forums from an EA admin

Play.com is the retailer that will be handing out the download codes.

Play.com will email the codes out to those that have pre-ordered.

The demo should be available later today.

This is both PS3 and 360

So hopefully this is true, you can check it out at the link below

Fingers crossed :)

Sounds like it's gonna be for real this time after all..

I wish you guys luck, so at least a few of us on these forums get the demo today...

Re: Update from EA about UK pre-order

Just checked my email and nothing from Play.com so looks like I might have to wait after all. Has anyone else had an email from Play?

On the upside I have just got an email from SEGA for a place in the Football Manager Live Beta so I guess I'll have to play that until the BC demo is released.

Re: Update from EA about UK pre-order

I might see if I can get a refund from the EA Store, then pre-order from Gamestop, and maybe they'll still send me a code, even though it's the 29th...

Urge to kill.... RISING...

Who're the incompetent ones here, Play.com or EA? Thanks to whomever, the 'one week early' is now 3 days...

Why didn't they choose GAME or Amazon?

Do you mean Gamestop?

Re: Update from EA about UK pre-order

No... this is the UK not the US, gamestop don't exist over here

the only choice for us was play.com and they have managed to make an arse of it...

Re: Update from EA about UK pre-order

Looks like both are to blame. Play shouldn't have agreed to send out the demo keys if they weren't going to be ready to do so. They didn't even know about any codes until it was pointed out to them the day before. But either way you would think EA would have sent the codes out before today in order to be ready for it.

Sheesh, at least EA is consistent... at messing up everything, then trying to fix it the last minute.

Re: Update from EA about UK pre-order

Oh, you have to be kidding?!

Since when did the 29th mean the 2nd? LAME. This just tops my day off.

This is typical EA. Awful. Not amazed with play.com right now either. Guess ill see you guys on the 2nd then....

Re: Update from EA about UK pre-order

Well as has been suggested i don't think it was Completely EA's fault, However it is slightly laughable that two large companies Like EA and play.com could have such a break down in communications to the extent that this situation could arise in the beginning... but they are doing something about it so it's not all bad.
