Anyone got their Gamestop Online CE Beta codes yet? I was just wondering if they have sent them out? I called them and they told me they were sending them out on Thursday and Friday?

Best to keep on them about it.
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1.) Those who make things happen
2.) Those who watch things happen
3.) And those who wonder "What the %#*& just happened?!"
if it's anything like play.com (for the UK), then i'd expect them out soon.. i had this email from play.com.
on the 18th June.
It has come to our attention that some websites are reporting that play.com have sent out the beta access codes. Unfortunately this is incorrect, however we are due to send out our beta access codes soon and we estimate that they should be with you within 7-10 days. The Warhammer Online beta has yet to start and we will be sending the codes shortly so that they will be there in time for access to the beta when it opens.
Yeah, keep on them about it; daily would be best. Doesn't matter if you irritate anyone, you bought the game for a premium price, compared to the normal edition, and you should get all of the things promised. This happened to me with EA games when I bought mine online. Took almost 2 months to get everything sorted out, I had to threaten refund and that I would purchase elsewhere before they finally got rolling and sent me my codes a few hours later.
Just keep calling. As long as you have an electronic or hardcopy of the receipt, you'll be fine.

Lol by some website's i guess they mean the Official WAR page for europe hahahaha I find it quite funny.
Got mine the day I paid for the preorder.. but then again I don't order games online, I actually went to the store and they handed me something that had all my codes on it. This is one of the reasons I don't pre-order games online, I'd rather have the codes in hand than wait for them to hopefully get emailed to me in time.
I got my codes immediately and I pre ordered online. Of course I used amazon ... I wouldn't give those thieves gamestop my money for a pre order even if my life depended on it. I'll continue to get my console games there but I won't trust them with pre orders especially for the PC.

I called them again and they said they did send out a batch of Beta Codes yesterday but only a limited number. So I was not in that batch.
I suppose they changed their policy, when I preorderd mine they sent the codes on the email receipt.

I don't know why people are worried about beta codes for a beta that is months away. Every retailer handles the codes differently. Calling them every day will not get you a code any faster it will just waste alot of your time. If you don't have the code a couple weeks before the beta then you want to think about comtacting the retailer.
So glad i got my CE from HMV .. no bullshit ,no waiting , just lovely codes in the box.
Go gamer gave out a CE key a while ago, si it the beta key..
Because with Gamestop they are notorious at messing up...their retail stores (a few of them not all) gave out ALOT of the beta codes for basically free and didn't even make them pre order the CE (total mess up there hell the CE wasn't even announced yet when this happened Gamestop jumped the gun and has never once appologized)...there's only 60k CE's adn 60K codes...if you don't get your codes it means you you dont' get your crap. Personally if I was the OP i'd cancel and get mine from Amazon (or from EAstore, or one of the other various retailers) you get your codes immediately in your My Media / Download's section.

Just and update on this. I went down to the local Gamestop and talked to them and they said they would try and help me out and got my email address. Next day I had my codes very odd. They didn't get my order number or anything. Maybe they linked it by my email? But at least i got the codes.
I always find it easier to buy in-store (which i did 30 minutes ago!) because you have item in hand.
2 of the codes, the live game head start and in-game item, didn't work giving an error 'Code not valid' . I assume those will be 'valid' once OB closes and the game ramps up for retail release, though I thought it odd that I couldn't apply them. Anyone else seen this?
