Default Just found out from BestBuy...

...that I won't be able to get the game (that I pre-ordered) until the 28th, when they open up at 10am!!!!!

I said to the associate..."what was the sense for pre-ordering...", he just and I walked away.

So, I know that I will be able to use my beta key, but it also means that I will have to leave my house (losing valuable game time) to go and pick up the retail key.

How do you say that without being insensitive and harsh? Never understood peoples internet personas and how much they differ from real life.

I guess my opinion lies between the "get a life" response and "don't worry" one.

I think you'll be fine. Remember the overall design goal of this game is to avoid the time sink and reward you in other areas.

If you can get a Beta Key you can play on the 27 without the box. just download the client. Then you can play on the 28 when you get the game. But you are right Best Buy has ALOT!!!! to learn about Customer Service!!! The only reason I pre-ordered from them was all the other stores near me were sold out.
