Meatball + Delphi Respond

[Mahdi]

Meatball and Delphi have been busy posting at the official forum, here are a couple of their replies:

Those who pre-order from EB (both at EBWorld.com and the mall store), Babbage's (both at gamestop.com and the mall store), or Bestbuy (store only, not online) will receive a sheet of paper with the code when you pick up the game. Then you'll go home, install the game, make sure you have a registered Westwood Online account, go to the URL on the sheet, input the code on the sheet, then your units will be unlocked. That's all there is to it.

I should add that this is the process for these particular retailers based primarily out of North America. If you live in other parts of the world, you'll need to find out if your chosen retailer (online or in-store) is participating in this pre-order promotion and how they're going to get the unlocking codes to you.

You can of course pre-order from Amazon, but they are not participating in the 'exclusive units' promotion.

I would like to remind everybody that the price of the actual game is about the same whether you pre-order now or wait for the game to hit stores. The only difference would be the shipping costs (and the fact that that store buyers won't have immediate access to the 3 exclusive online units).

I heard Delphi has been running smack all over this board about much he beats up on me in multiplayer Emperor. It is true that Delphi currently has the upperhand, but did he ever mention how I rolled over his feeble Harkonnen base with my platoon of Ordos Kobras at LANWAR? I think Delphi quit out early to avoid the humiliation.

C'mon, I need some support out there, guys. Who will help me take down the dictator known as Delphi?!? Who will side with the mighty Meatball?!?

I was only reporting the news players wanted to hear! =)

Thats a lot of info about the special pre-order units, I hope that helps you out when deciding where to pre-order from.
