Say What Now????

????.....Okay i preodered so i have to go pick it up from the store i got it at............how do they know i preordered it?

You should get a little preorder kit with some special keys to enter. If you didn't get them go back to the store and demand your preorder stuff.

I did but do i enter the one i used for the beta things

the keep a log of all the preorder recipts in a small box. you tell them your name and maybe even show some ID and they find your ticket and then you pay the remaining balance if it isnt paid in full yet, after that, you get your game and go back home!

Hehe. Log in with your beta account, it's still there, then just add your retail key to it and you'll be all set with the preorder stuff. The beta key was the preorder key.

i preordered from best buy so do i go to my closest one

Go to the one you pre-ordered from. If you pre-ordered online it will be shipped to you in the mail I believe.

i did pre order online so they send it to me????........and i havent got it yet

Did you get a little card or an email with a key code on it that let you play in the beta weekends? That is the preorder code. If you have already played in the beta weekends (sounds like you said you did) then you already entered your code, just use the same account you used for beta.

but are they gunna send the package to me or no also i thought u couldnt use the beta code for the real full game i thought u had to use the one sent to u in the package i am talking about above

Okay if you preordered online, they'll send an email with your code. Then ship your package TO YOU.

I got my email a week after I ordered. So depending on where you ordered it may take a while.

No you use the same account from beta. The beta code was the preorder code. If you login with your beta account you will see that you have early access and whatever item.

they must be pretty damn slow cause i preorder at least 2 months ago

Well you already have the beta key right?

yes i have this

i cant use the beta key as the key for the game release it says it has already been registered since it has so it is impossible to use again

The game didnt go gold til recently

Now if you do not know what going gold means, I will simply give up

so...what does "going gold" mean exactly?

Yes it was already used by you. You don't need to enter it again. Log into your old beta account and use it, and you're all set. You wont get any other preorder stuff.

It means they declared it as final code and was ready for pressing copies of. Hence it is golden.
