World in Conflict preorder code problems

r44b · 1 Sep 2007 at 13:20

Has anyone preordered World in conflict from that big highstreet PC/console game retailer (4 letters all of which are big and purple)?

I sent them an email about when and how id recieve my preorder code as it didnt come in my order conformation. This was 3 days ago and i still havnt had a reply back.

Just wondered if anyone else has managed to get a code out of them and if so how they did it.

Ive also heard rumors that they are selling preorder boxes for £2 in store only which if true is pretty low since ive already payed £30 and should get it within that price.

I pre-ordered as well and have received no code. They may send it closer to release date, post back if you hear anything as been able to save my stats from the demo would be useful.

It took em about a week or two for them to send me mine. It comes via the post with your free DVD

I pre-ordered during the beta from the same place and like many ppl received nothing and no answer to my emails either. I mailed the community manager over at the VUGames forum and a cppl of days later he mailed me a key although id already got impatient and gone into town and picked up a pre-order box so now ive got two

Worth a shot. It was a while ago and the thread this guy started asking ppl to mail him has gone during the forum restructure but you never know..

In the massgate forum they now seem to be palming it off as a publisher problem and telling ppl to contact the retailer.

With all the ppl having problems its pretty poor really. The best bet seems to be to go and pick up a pre-order box from your local store.
