PrimoVato

I got myself a subscription last week to have better chances. I never got the possibility to play it when it launched (I was not at my parents during the week for school and the 56k connection they had was too bad) so I'm using it to learn how PS works.

Anyone pick up the PC Gamer and input the key?

I'm heading out tonight after hours and trying to find a copy at the local establishments.. Not sure if I'll find any but anyone in need let me know and I'll see if I can swing ya a copy. (up to a reasonable amount and # of copies (disclaimer) :D

What does a hard copy of PC Gamer cost these days?

Not sure how that works. Thought all previous subscribers got keys?

Not "got" keys but "got a better chance" to get a key.. For PS1 account..

The PC Gamer key (hard copy only) is the same and puts you in a higher running to get into the beta early on (as I understand it) We'll have to re-read Tas's explanation above but I don't' think even the PC Gamer is a guarantee.

Hmmm that business sounds shady.

Its a either / or scenario. Either you are or are not tagged as the "Priority" list. Having multiple keys assigned to an account does not add or move you up the priority list.

If you registered your station account to PS2 Beta, and that Station Account has PS1 (Active or Inactive) then you were automatically flagged as Priority and no key will be sent to you.

If you went to FF 2011 then they emailed you a key. If you bought a PC Gamer Mag then you now have a key. In both instances, the key only puts you on the Priority list, it does not admit you to Beta.

So in closing, if you have a Station Account that had PS1 on the games list marked either active or inactive then you are on the Priority list.

Entering a second key and assigning that key to your Station Account that has a PS1 game on its list will do you absolutely no good. You will be wasting that key that could have been used by someone who didn't play PS1 or has lost the Station Account that had PS1 on it.

Food for thought.

Right as I had thought it but maybe didn't explain well..

I'm getting the PC Gamer for the other Station Account that has my boy's EQ2 account/etc. Since we didn't purchase or sub on that account for PS2 I'm applying the key if I can find the mag to that account so I have 2 accounts, now flagged, to double up the chances I'll get either one into beta. If that makes sense.. Plus I want to read the articles and not just look at the pictures :D

Riiiiiiiight.
