I commented on this, but I’ll add it as an actual post (since there’s been a dearth of same) …
We’ve gone ahead, since we bought a new machine for Margie to support it, with pre-ordering Champions Online. The choices:
- Amazon: Get some costume pieces. Ho-hum.
- Best Buy: Get a damage resistance widget, plus a cosmetic pet. Tempting.
- Wal*Mart: I don’t care if they’re offering Nemmie Staves and sexual favors —I won’t buy from Wal*Mart.
- Gamestop: Lvl 0 flight power. Rather than wait all the way to 5th level. I may be projecting from CoX, but this seemed the best idea of the lot.
So, obviously, we went with the Gamestop deal. As I understand it, we’ll get emailed the beta codes for the test starting next Monday, and the boxen of game will show up at the local Gamestop shop for our pickup and for the bonus codes sometime around the 1st.
So … we’re in!
Woot and Huzzah!
I looked at Darth GM’s LJ and he is in the Closed Beta as of last night.
