A Canadian Cat Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Let me start by saying I am very happy to see your announcement and I plan to order ASAP. So here is my request. Make it possible to pre-order download only. Please. I have no desire to have anything mailed nor do I need CDs but I do want to play the game as soon as it is ready to go. When the CW module was released only those who pre-ordered could download right away. Which is fair enough - they paid money for the privilege. The thing is *I* want to pay money for the privilege but I do not want anything mailed to me. So, BFC while there is still time please make it possible to pre-order download only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger33 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Pre-order and regular downloads always become available at the same time (I think). The only difference is that pre-orders get an early email. Then some clueless soul always goes and posts about it on the forum, despite the suggestion in the email not to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share Posted June 22, 2012 Nope, with the CW module the pre-order people got access to the download before the rest of us. Initially the word was it would be days before they opened it up to everyone. It was painful. In the end it did not take days but... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Bump. BFC any chance that this can be tweaked before CMFI hits the download servers? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sequoia Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I second the idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure no one ever said it would be days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Humm I was certain I read a week between the pre-order users got theirs and when it would be opened up to the rest of us. But I could not find such a post. The lag time was up to 36 hours - as posted by Moon: http://www.battlefront.com/community/showpost.php?p=1345407&postcount=22 I must have been channeling Krik and heard Spock's (I mean Moon's) 36 hours as a week:D I am just asking is to pay money to come to the party on time, like those that want disks can. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Pre-orders are for the purpose of letting BFC know how many discs and manuals they should order for the first patch, and also makes it easier to plan their packing and shipment. They don't need to know this for downloaded versions, obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Pre-orders are for the purpose of letting BFC know how many discs and manuals they should order for the first patch<sip> Oh I totally get that. All I want is to give them money so I can download it when it is released. Not, after a delay. I will not mess up their count of who wants a disk because I am hoping they will add an option to pre-order but download only:) Just a request. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And reminiscent of the scene at the beginning of Terminator 2 when it appeared that the Cyborg/Schwarznegger was actually going to execute Sarah Connor in that, uh, room.... But he didn't. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper28 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 So I guess a download only pre order is not happening? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
