I was told that I need to wait till the 18th to pick it up. That won't stop you from playing tho, the OB client will let you play in the headstart till you get the box from the store, least that's how I understand it to be working. Kindof a grace period till you get your box copy.
I purchased 2 copies from EBGAMES. I was told they would be ready when they opened on the 16th.
Wrong. They will be getting them on the 17th. And, they are out of the boxes...so no head start for me. So, I got a 3rd copy from D2D. Instant code via email.
I don't think the open beta code works with the head-start unless you got a pre-order code. If you used fileplanet for the beta...it wont work.

Yup, you need the preorder code, I just assumed that since the OP stated that he preordered it that he had the code.
