Surely, the promised email before the 4th to pre regs to order online is the best way?

That's what I was trying to work out, not sure how they will work that one out.

DF mentioned it slipping by a few days, that mag would have gone to print at least a couple of weeks ago so could very well be wrong.

Spot on

Agreed, that magazine is created in advance so events have changed after the content is frozen.

It could possibly be that pre-registered get an email with a link to the new web ordering page but that page is not publically announced for another week say, so we have 7 days to order in advance.

So the message here if that happens is to NOT publish the link on this BB so anybody can use it. That link is mine, all mine, ha ha ha!!! (yes I am going mad waiting since the 1st December!)

1 > Pre regs' will be installed before General release customers

2 > Pre regs' are getting a special deal that other customer will not be getting

My guess is they will be personalised links, no use to anyone else.

That shouldb't be a problem as they should have a list of account numbers that pre-registered, so they should be able to prevent anyone ordering via that web link who isn't on the pre reg list.

I bet you someone does post a "link" after they've ordered

It will be useless though unless you are on the account list

Just received my email: but they got my name wrong - i'm not Dean!
Not very impressed with the deal - looks like we're going to have to pay the £40 installation fee when others haven't?
