Just came from GameStop and preordered SFV and my code was printed on my receipt.

 

[LOLOMGWTFBBQ]

Is the game active already?

23rd.

Once you have the SFV BETA client downloaded, you will be able to access all BETA tests when they are activated. The first BETA will go live on 7/23 at 6pm PST, and will last until 7/28 at 6pm PST. Future BETA tests will be announced at a later date.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Preordered on Amazon in May, still no code.

 

[Kaako]

Amazon pre-orders that have not received their beta codes after 20+ minutes. LIVE-CHAT that shit now! They are very helpful when it comes to these matters.

 

[Fermbiz]

I got the code earlier today. Downloaded it and tried to remote play from work. nothing shows up except for a unable to connect to server message

Also, I placed my preoder months ago

Not out yet

Beta 1 is online only and it dosent start until Thursday, July 23. We just got to pre-load it really today.

 

[Weeaboosuke]

Pre ordered months ago and got diddly squat initially. Once I canceled that one and pre ordered again I got my code almost instantly.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Gamestop hasn't sent shit. Gonna go with Amazon.

By the way, you think we can game the system by just going to character select, going to training mode, and then turning off our internet so we can just sit and practice?

Just tried. Basically it's a black screen the whole time, with a pop up saying it couldn't connect to servers. Then you get the option to continue trying to connect. Repeat every 7 seconds. I disconnected my cable but then an error code from the PS4 appears. I don't think it's happening

 

[Pliny The Elder]

Pre-Order from Amazon 10 mins ago, 5 mins later got Beta code and then redeemed the code and canceled order from Amazon after.

 

[Beelzebufo]

Just got my code from Amazon. Preordered like 3 hours ago.

 

[Moofers]

I have a $10 promotional discount at Amazon I didn't know I had. If I preorder this and cancel later, will I lose that $10?

Nevermind, I called and found out the code won't be refunded if my preorder gets cancelled.

 

[bistromathics]

What's the deal with ps3 TE sticks? Will they work, or do I need a new TE?

 

[mattp]

Pre-Order from Amazon 10 mins ago, 5 mins later got Beta code and then redeemed the code and canceled order from Amazon after.

dammit what the hell
i preordered on amazon weeks ago and havent gotten my beta code yet

 

[J 0 E]

What about the PSN pre-orders?

 

[Leona Lewis]

dammit what the hell
i preordered on amazon weeks ago and havent gotten my beta code yet

Make a new pre-order and you'll get the code within minutes.

That's what I had to do.

 

[kirblar]

dammit what the hell

Cancel and reorder notmally, do not use one click.

 

[Aesthet1c]

I forget, when does Amazon charge your card when you pre-order something?

 

[SolidSnakex]

What about the PSN pre-orders?

When the beta client becomes available for download, navigate to the PSN store and search for "Street Fighter Beta". Locate the client, download, and install it. The beta client will only be playable during the dates when the beta is live. Check streetfighter.com periodically for updates on beta client download availability and beta live dates.

The licensed ones work. At least they do in Skullgirls and Ultra SF IV. Looks like the Mad Catz unlicensed sticks work too. So don't worry about getting a new stick.

 

[mattp]

when it ships

 

[blame space]

what's all this about wearing pants

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Preordered from Amazon a couple days ago. still no code

 

[Aesthet1c]

when it ships

Sweet! Thank you!

 

[yurinka]

Is just me or Necalli's eyes have the same color than Nash's gem? Maybe they (or whoever 'resurrected' Nash and Necalli) are related.

Shit! I guess it makes sense. They can't cancel you out of the beta if you offline this way.

 

[BiggNife]

Preordered from Amazon a week or two ago, no code yet. Honestly I don't care as long as I get it before Thursday.

 

[Armaly]

Wonder if they are doing phases and Amazon preorders first, then so on and so forth.

Nah, I talked to amazon cs on the phone about it. My original preoder form July got the code generated but it failed to send for some reason. Instructed me to cancel and reorder and got it instantly. Said he'd contact marketing.

 

[Smo21]

if you live chat with amazon.com theyll give you the code right away

will wait for it then, thanks.

 

[GreatLord Tiger]

Just got my code took about 15 minutes from pre-ordering.

 

[SOLDIER]

Guys, don't be dumb.

Go to Amazon.com

Preorder the physical disc.

They will email the code.

And Amazon won't charge you until the game ships, right?

So I can still get the beta from them?

 

[Gipsy Danger]

From the UK and trying to pre-order it from Amazon.com with a US address but it keeps cancelling my order. Maybe because it's a UK billing address? Anyone know a way around it or perhaps a cool guy willing to send me an extra code?

 

[apieceofstrange]

Right. I code my amazon code within seconds.

 

[schnarf]

And Amazon won't charge you until the game ships, right?

The answer to both questions is Yes!

 

[Smo21]

From the UK and trying to pre-order it from Amazon.com with a US address but it keeps cancelling my order. Maybe because it's a UK billing address? Anyone know a way around it or perhaps a cool guy willing to send me an extra code?

Weird. I have a Canadian billing address but a US shipping address and it worked no problem. Maybe it's because its over seas.

 

[Schryver]

Guess I will do the Amazon preorder to get in. Last time I did this for Destiny I forgot to cancel and suddenly I had a copy of Destiny I wasn't sure that I wanted lol. At least I got a mostly fun 20 hours out of that game before selling it.

 

[piccio_ssl]

if you live chat with amazon.com theyll give you the code right away

i'll give this a try

 

[mattp]

amazon cs chat gave me my code, but psn says its invalid?

 

[ScOULaris]

Just canceled my old Amazon pre-order and created a new one. Hopefully that'll trigger the email for me like it did for some others in this thread.

This wont work. Codes are region locked.

UK gaf talk to me!!!

 

[SarcasticD]

Just seen in my email I got my code from Amazon

 

[Resolution]

Just contact customer support like i did. I got it within 10 mins of doing so.

 

[Tizoc]

So what're the chances of dataming this beta to find out who the remaining characters are?

 

[Gipsy Danger]

This wont work. Codes are region locked.

UK gaf talk to me!!!

Yeah but I have a US PSN account. So it should be fine no?

 

[Hasney]

Use the US billing address, they don't check.

 

[Grimgrillz]

Yeah but I have a US PSN account. So it should be fine no?

Not if SFV is region locked and your forced to use your EU connection on NA servers. That'll be a lag festival.

 

[Aesthet1c]

Okay I got my code redeemed. Is the download up yet? I see the beta on my account but can't find anything to download.

 

[mintylurb]

Preordered it from amazong and received the beta code about 10 mins after I placed the order. Hopefully my d/l will finish before the beta ends.

 

[Alchemist]

Amazon customer service just sent me a code over the chat.. The code didn't work on my UK account so it looks like the beta is region locked.
