So far those of us who are looking forward to participating in the online PC beta from January 28th to February 25th, start collecting those penny jars scattered throughout the house and pre-order soon.

It would be nice if we could get this stickied for a day or two so everyone sees it because as you all know we have a pretty active board

---

Says the beta is only available for online customers which doesn't apply if picking up in store. Not sure if shipping to your house excludes it or if they have an online download. Guess I'll just buy it and see what happens

Bought it. Paid $10 for overnight. When you complete purchase it says allow 1 day for transit and 1 day for processing. On what planet is that overnight?

I paid for mine at Gamestop I can wait till it comes out

I could be wrong, but nowhere do i see the beta is ONLY available to pre-order customers.  Could just be pre-order customers get priority, which is the case with most games.

sure it does, this is what it says "Available for online customers only while supplies last. Not available for in-store or in-store pickup orders." It clearly states that it says its not available for in store pre-orders or pick-ups but is limited to online pre-orders only.

They talk about it more on bashandslash.com as well, just go to the site you can find it on the homepage

I pre-ordered mine from Newegg.

---

Well. I guess I'll wait till March. Not in a rush..

---

But what does DICE say about the beta?

Hopefully I will get to preorder it... any status updates on BF1943?

No PC beta date has been announced. Don't believe everything that you read.

Yep wait for the word from Dice. I mean this might be just a lie to get some preorders going.

It's Gamestop, I am more than willing to believe that.
