Pre-ordered through Gamestop. Has anyone else who did the same gotten their code?
It may just be they’re looking at 50/50 split between experienced players and newbie players to see how both will perform in this game. Maybe to keep some kind of winrate stats
That’s another reason why I also preordered on US Amazon. Just to be sure.
Do we need PS plus to play it online? I heard some games dont require it.
Yes you do.
Beta is on PS Store for those who preordered directly. DL’ing now.
Wish the beta came with a some crazy ps theme, it’s just the plain old SFV logo, sitting there teasing me.
Preordering via PSN grants you a theme.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m downloading it now too. I hope I can manage with the PS4 game pad when the Beta starts.
Yeah, preordered from Amazon last night and I got the code immediately. Amazon doesn’t charge your credit card/debit-visa until the game comes out, so I’m going to cancel the preorder last minute and get it digitally on PSN. So I have a “free beta”
For all who pre-order thru Best Buy.
After talking to their home office twice, they dont’ have a clue about the Beta. They were trying to convince me there isn’t even one going on.
So I’m getting money back from them.
I used Paypal thru PSN, downloaded the client and got a really cool SFV theme free for my purchase.
Screw Best Buy!
Gamestop isn’t much better. They seem clueless as well.
Anyone got a spare code for a poor EU guy? Would hate to miss out
Everyone, just quickly cancel your preorder, get the money back, and preorder through Amazon. Since they don’t charge, just play your free beta. Then once it gets near official release date, cancel the Amazon preorder after all the beta periods are done and just order from your preferred store.
Hell, you can even preorder now from Amazon since they don’t charge until next year (when game comes out.) So just get the code from Amazon and cancel the Best Buy/Game Stop ones if you want and at your own pace.
Yes. I got mine by walking into the store I preordered at months ago. They printed my beta code on a receipt. I went home and the code worked fine. They said that the emails containing the beta code may not be sent out to everyone until the 23rd. If you preordered the game online, you have to use the email code but if you preordered a physical copy of the game, they can print your code out for you.
It worked for me and I am waiting with bated breath for Street Fighter V!
Does anyone know if the beta period will start at midnight or morning? Would be good to know for tomorrow.
That said, no matter when it starts there’s a reasonable chance that things will immediately fail and push the start time back, so be ready for that.
I planned on doing that from the start. I know a place that normally breaks street date on games. No way I’m waiting for Amazon.
I knew this would not go smoothly. I wonder when and where it happened in line of command that someone fucked up with the codes. Gamestop, amazon, ebgames, goddamn. I got my code today but it took me like a week of asking through amazon customer service and eb games managers.
We have known about this for a while, but I am still pretty bummed that Birdie won’t arrive until Saturday. He’s the only good character so far. I suppose I will just play Ryu until then and PARRY EVERYTHING that moves.
i’m in the u.s.a on holiday so if i get one i’ll give you mine.
