VasFURY Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) Woop woop. Just wanted to be the first to "chirp" this. Call it a "tactical insertion" Edited January 30, 2015 by VasFURY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieme(ITA) Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 This is very childish and uncalled for, I will report this for removal. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasFURY Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Wow, seriously? One cannot be excited and advise others on the board that the game is available for download? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astano Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Double-check your e-mail:   ATTENTION! We are offering these early downloads exclusively to our pre-order customers as a reward for your trust and loyalty. In your best interest, please do not tell anyone else about it, or the download servers may be flooded with a lot of new customers, robbing you of your ability to download the game quickly.  Personally I have no idea how much of an impact on d/l speeds this has, but many around here are quite adamant about it. It's considered a breach of forum protocol by the pre-orderers to let the cat out of the bag as it impacts all of them too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stugdownunder Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I think the pre-orders were coming out a couple of hours early before the release to the general public as a thankyou for your pre-order. As its 1:00am in Perth Western Australia I will gladly await my Saturday morning Blask Sea Fest. Have fun with your game:) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blyskawica Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 it is normal that those who have bought preorder, have first, by cons I hope for others it does not take too long 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuri Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Still wishing there'd be an option for digital only preorder next time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VasFURY Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Astano, thank you for pointing that out to me. My bad. I didnt realise Battlefront operated on a staggered release platform, with pre-orders going out first. When I pre-ordered the game, I just thought it was because it would be cheaper than purchasing it when the game would be released. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astano Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 As if anyone has actually followed that rule in the myriad of releases BFC has done . Lighten up.  To be clear, it doesn't really bother me any. The tradition of someone posting about it and being pilloried in the forums is a time-honored one; it wouldn't be a new release without it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasFURY Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) NP, but I can see how others may be cheesed off by this excitement. Especially in instances where people wanted a digital only release. Oof, but exciting this day is!

ratdeath Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I downloaded Gustav Line at 5,1 MB/sec and the CMBS download is 500-900 KB/sec. Maybe CMBS is more popular or there is another bottleneck between the server and me at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
De Savage Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I would like digital only pre-order too. Deliver is pretty expensive (27 dollar) to Finland, Europe. Â Plz, release it soon! I'll buy digital only as soon as it's there... Edited January 30, 2015 by De Savage 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na Vaske Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I would like digital only pre-order too. Deliver is pretty expensive (27 dollar) to Finland, Europe. Â Only reason I did not Pre-Order.. I would probably receive the physical copy in 2017. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Well, someone is going to post every time. I just crack up that people get mad that someone does. like it really changes anything.

ratdeath Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I do wonder how many "pre-order" it after someone post that it's released for preorders.... well hmm I am guilty of that (so that's one) (Not with CMBS though, that one I preordered long time ago, maybe it was CMRT) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VasFURY Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Does it really take such a long amount of time between pre-order release, and standard release? What is the experience with the past games? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 by tomorrow, it will be out for anyone. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdeath Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I think it's a couple of hours, at most. But the wait.. knowing.. it's there...almost... so close... aaargh! Pre-Order! Click! Download! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slysniper Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 No, in the past it normally has been about a day. It just depends on BF. Whenever they feel like flipping the switch. Only once do I recall it being under 24 hours 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VasFURY Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Ah, ok, so its not like a 2 week wait period or something ridiculous like that. Yeh, a day seems fairly reasonable, considering you save almost 30 bucks of shipping cost plus additional customs charges for a hard copy that you dont really need in this day and age. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
