I foresee problems with the beta launch. The Ultra update launch came hours late, and PSN hasn’t had the best track record of, you know, WORKING the last couple years. I’ll be astonished if everything goes smoothly Thursday night.
FYI I don’t think you can cancel preorders one you receive a code for a promo item. I know GameStop has a similar policy to prevent reselling of codes for risk free profit. I may be wrong, but something to watch out for in the future.
Preordered 2 weeks ago from amazon.com with US shipping address and German billing address.
Got no code.
Cancelled the preorder today and then preordered again. US billing address this time.
Two minutes later I received my code.
Created a US PSN account and successfully redeemed the code in the store.
As I write this the SF5 beta client is downloading.
When I downloaded the beta there were 2 applications. The first is the client and the other was “Street Fighter V trial 1” or something along those lines. I would like to think future betas will use the same client.
Quick question for the Europe sign-up players, if you’ve been accepted into the beta, do you already have a code or a confirmation email that tells you that you’re in or do you just have to wait until the 23rd and hope for the best?
Thanks for the info.
Was meaning if anyone who signed up for the free European beta service already got an invite.
I know it’s supposed to drop a day later, but I still frantically check my inbox every 5 minutes.
I haven’t gotten one yet. Maybe I just didn’t get chosen at all. We’ll see, though considering my shitty luck I’m possible I’m out of the beta until who-knows-when
Ah, okay. Also signed up for the beta the ‘right’ way last month. Haven’t got a response yet.
IIRC they said they’ll send out these mails on July 23rd.
Hoping and praying I get into it, the whole “How much PP do you have?” and all the other questions had me wondering what kind of player they’re looking for the most to invite.
