  Yes... you still have to buy the game.  Eventually, the pre-order keys will become null and void.

  Sorry... I assumed he just had the pre-order disk with the beta key in it... not the actual final game itself.
  
  
  
  When I pre-ordered the game I was given a disk.  It had the beta client and a beta key in it.  Eventually, I expect that key to expire and I will have to register my retail key (which will come in the retail box) in my Sony account to continue playing.  
  
  
  
  Thats the way EQ2, DDO, and COH/COV did it.  I expect Vanguard will do the same.  The pre-order keys are usually good for the first week or so.... longer if there are problems with shipping the actual end product.
  
  
  
  Then again... that is not always the case.  I have seen it where the beta key stops working the day of release.... you don't lose your pre-release characters.... you just cant access them until you register a retail key.

  NP maybe you were right, I just assumed the opposite.

  BTW I see your xfire that you've been playing you dont happen to still have your 10 day trial key, do you?
