Anyone bothered to contact play.con yet?

In other words Play forgot and are just getting there arses into gear today which they should have done 2 working days ago.
Any ideas where this has been mentioned? I want the game on steam as it makes things so much easier, but if a 4pack's coming out, that's what I'll do, beta or not. Pre-order currently with play...

Cheers!
I think I'm going to cancel my play.con order as soon as I get my code. They said the 26th and have lied.

I wasn't intending to cancel at first, but after the preorder delivery stories i have heard for release days, i had 2nd thoughts.
Now, if they can't deliver codes on the day they've said, via e-mail, I don't hold much hope for receiving my copy of the game on the day of release.
That's just where i am at the moment.
If they would have emailed all of us who preordered with them just saying that there has been a delay of the keys, then fine, these things happen. Principle really.

play.con usually take 5 days to get to me house nowadays back in circa 2000 it was one day :/
Game and other dvd distributors are miles quicker, I'm going to cancel mine from play because they have lied about the beta keys and take forever for deliveries.

More OFFICIAL news on the BETA!
Quote:
When's the Beta
First, let's start by making the official time and date of the Beta the start of this Blog in what will be and EPIC moment in DICE's PC History! The PC Beta begins this Thursday, January 28th at approximately 6pm CET, 12pm EST, and 9am PST time!!!!!!!
Where to Get It
The Client will be downloadable from server partner websites and Steam starting at the above listed time at a file size of 1.5GB. Here's a hyper-link reminder http://bit.ly/4GJk2a on which retailers will provide PC Beta access through pre-ordering.
Why we're Having a Beta
The Beta is happening for many reasons, like testing the infrastructure, hosting stability, and gameplay tuning (FOV, Weapon Balance, etc...) that no amount of internal testing could provide better than real world exposure. This is means there will also be times of choppiness, lag, disconnects, CTDs or other issues a Beta version of any MP game would have. We'll have feedback methods similar to the PS3 Beta as well to ensure your input is gathered and heard.
Advanced warning: there will be things updated in the final game, like a Server browser with more functions, optimizations, performance tweaks, and learning's from the Beta.
This truly is a Beta, so remember that all feedback is appreciated and wanted!
Hosting the Beta
Renting of Beta servers will not be possible, but we'll work closely with all our RSPs* to ensure there is always enough capacity for each individual regions.
Where to Download the Beta
We'll distribute with many partners as possible to ensure the fastest DLs no matter your location around the world. Current know locations and methods will be EADM, Steam, Torrents (only get this from legit sources, i.e. an RSP*), and all our RSP's.
Getting Started In the Beta
STEP 1: Make sure you have at least 5GB free on your HDD and then download and Install BFBC2!
STEP 2: Once installation is completed (install size will be around 1.5GB) start the client and click the login button. You will then be prompted to sign in with your EA Account. If you don't have an EA Account you'll be able to create one in the same screen. (You may also create your EA Account in advance HERE)
STEP 3: Enter the unique PC Beta Code during the log in process to authenticate your participation in the Beta.
Step 4: Create your Soldier name (this will lock that name to your EA account for retail if you want to keep it).
Note: You will not be able to play or access any multiplayer menus without being authenticated. After the Beta Key is registered it will be tied to your EA Account and no longer valid for new registrations. Our game will use SecuROM for the Beta and Final games .exe, for more info on how SecuROM works in BFBC2 please read this Blog to learn about it in more detail.

Need to get in there quick then!
Play are useless in my view for games. I will never use them again.
The last game I ordered didnt turn up on day of release. It came 3 days after release. This meant I didnt have the game over the weekend which is when I play most of my games. In the end I downloaded off steam and sent the game back to play for a refund. I'm not taking that risk again. Id rather pay a bit more and have the convenience of it being on my pc just waiting to be unlocked.
They use to be good when they first started but now they are crap.

Just give her a quick one and then say you've left the oven on and come home again.
