Amazon Preorders

i did D2D deluxe edition, already got my OBT client dowlnoaded:p

now tro wait till t3h test start ^^
hmmm you saying fighters are doing aneuvers?
set statin defensive arrays on training, and start shooting them! its J-M Jarre Lasershow time!

I went ahead and did a $109 preorder on the shiny collectors edition which comes with all kind of stuff from gamestop. Now I can't afford an download edition as well. Well, I could, but students need too.. Besides, I get a shiny comm badge I can flash at people, so it's worth the extra little wait.

Gahhhhh! Just my luck. The EB games near me shouuuuld have the games for preorder and the key code by the end of the week... That's just silly! LOL

I have pre-orded the Star Trek Online Speciale eidtion from GAME.co.uk and I also Pre-orderd Napolion Totla War the speciale edition as well as Mass Effec 2 for the Xbox 360 and I may get it for the Pc later.

Looks like they finally opened the official download page to us OB participants: http://www.startrekonline.com/download

just wondering has anyone else preorder the game at gamestop and did u get the key yet?

I ordered from Gamestop, and no key yet...

Still waiting on my Gamestop key too....though I ended up getting the Atari pack too, so at least the pressure is off for tomorrow. I emailed Gamestop and they said: Dear Valued Customer,

Steam download is up.

I just talk to my buddy bro who works at gamestop and he said he wasn't sure bout other gamestops but the ones in California beta keys got delayed and may come in tomorrow or Friday

so which download client would be the best to download from, as an Amazon pre-order? or do I go straight to the Fileplanet client?

5 hours later... 18% whooohooo! ...

how fast is your connection and which client are you using? just asking because I have to wait another 6 hrs before I can start downloading

I would suggest which ever place gives you the fastest connection. The torrent is fast if your lucky but so could the fileplanet download.

the d2d download was dlig with steady 900kbs

The only client I can use seems to be fileplanet. Download is between 7.0 and 38 kbs which gives me about a span of 72 to 700 hrs till I finish. This open beta is a load of *****, all because Amazon doesn't offer a download site. At the moment I am so "upset" that I am wondering what the hell I am paying 50 Euros for.

i think its up, I can make characters.

We have access to the character creator? Wooo!

Yep, its totally up.

Indeed it is, I'm in the tutorial learning all about WSAD right now. We should all do an meet and greet when we're all online.

Well my connection is 8 meg cable, i am pretty sure. It's just the speed the downloader is working at. I used the STO downloader direct from the STO site. Sadly enough, I'm now 12 & a half hours later at 74%. Yay!.... ugh...
