the LE comes with extra unlocks right from the start. So most ppl will go for LE as the price for LE and normal will be the same.

EA Spore has started taking pre-order? I check there but can't find the link to pre-order.

oic. so it is not really EASG has started the pre-order. So the price shall be around RM160-RM180 after conversion.

I think if pre-order from EASG, it might be the digital version, i.e. need to download the game dvd from the web. If pre-order from gamers.com, might not get the access to beta test since they may only get the games on release date.

Anyway, my streamyx line sucks for connections to anywhere in the world except malaysia/spore/aussie. So unless there is beta server in these 3 locations, it is pointless for me to get the beta.

but i think the LE won't be that Limited. I think they will churn out as many LE as possible for the first batch of buyers. It is just a marketing gimmick to lure ppl into buying it early rather than wait and see how is the game then only buy.

yup... saw it after i posted but my streamyx line doesn't have good ping to all OZ servers, only certain servers.

Good to hear that the prices are reasonable. But i would also get from Gamers.com or EASG direct rather than a forumer unless it is cheaper by quite a margin or he is in JB where I can collect on the day it is out.

oic... din take notice that he is in JB. Like that can consider. I think maybe he get his stock from EASG.

I m more optimistic - if there were dedicated servers in Spore for BF2 and BF2142, I dun see a reason why there will be none for BF:BC2.

The question now is to pre-order from EASG or not? SGD56.90=>>RM139.40 against Gamers.com RM129+postage, but gamers.com come with physical package.

I got a confirmation yesterday (via email enquiry) saying that the beta key is included with the pre-order of Limited Edition. I just paid for mine 15 mins ago.

should be physical copy. They didn't state it is digital version.

The audio articles are saying hardware base sound card like Creative X-Fi is not needed. Instead, getting a quad-core CPU is more suitable to experience the sound.

what is the connection between the 2?

obviously all of us are talking about beta code.

But not sure whether his will come with beta key or not. So instead of getting from him (i m in JB too), i rather wait for a day for TSB to poslaju to me. 1 day won't make much difference for me.

28th should be US time. So for us who are in the other side of the earth here, it means 29th, Friday.

Added on January 26, 2010, 1:50 pmyup, i dun think there is a beta for BF2, only demo. But BF2142 has beta.

you from jb too? hard to find JB ppl here playing BF.

me too. Do you know any way to retrieve the password?

why would some one pay that extra RM40+ since TSB's copies will have beta keys too.

i think we can only start downloading the beta on Friday "morning". If TSB not emailing us the beta code tomorrow, we won't be able to play too.

i also manage to get 1 at last minute too. Wanted to get another one for my brother but it has finished... it was so fast......

guess i need to pass my tsb beta key to him instead.

wow.. good news. that mean we will get the scanned version soon in our email, i suppose.

previously they sent out the scanned version of booster pack for Battlefield 2 via email. Postage of the card cost RM3 or RM5, i can't remember. Since this beta key is free, i assume they will scan and email out.

cross finger it will reach us before tomorrow.

zzz.... need to take care another little one now... just 2 months old. But my younger brother just gratuated, now can join us. He is good in CS, hope he can perform in BF too.

Just remember to cover me when I AFK for changing my baby's diapers.... lol...
