Dark Souls 3 Pre-Load on Steam is online

I checked their Twitter. They'll send the keys out in the next few hours!

First they said 24-48 hours before release, then 24, now today.
13 hours to release but I don't really have much trust to these guys, I really hope they deliver.

I would not be surprised to see this one run really late, as they are quoting the 12th constantly on their twitter feed, so I wont be shocked to see they come about midnight tonight
 
Bummer about some of you guys still waiting on your keys. Now I'm pretty glad I jumped on Gamesplanet when they had this on sale. Got my key a few days ago.
 
I guess that was the last time I preordered from CDKeys, weird that they can't tell when they will distribute the keys.
Something tells me it will be 4 hours before the unlock, like 8 pm CEST.

I imagine it's because they don't know when they'll get the keys themselves.
 
CDKeys will be waiting a physical shipment of games I would imagine as that's where they get their keys from, so assuming that shipement comes today they need time to open the boxes and scan all the keys in to their database, if this shipment was in earlier you'd have your code already.

Sounds like it, because the support only gave out vague statements.

Most probably, well lets play the waiting game then.
 
Does Gamesplanet have voucers like GMG? Or is the price they show on front page the definitive one?

There was a method to get another 5% off few pages back:

According to this? Maybe?

As for deals, currently Gamesplanet is probably best

CD Keys, still confirming today


@cdkeyscom Please for the love of all that is fuck, tell me i can get my Dark souls 3 key before midnight so i can pre-load.

‏@cdkeyscom
@King_HamLife We are planning to release all keys by today.
 
When I bought my Dark Souls 2 code from G2A two years ago I didn't get my key until pretty much the day after, so I've been mentally prepared that this might happen. Ah well. More time to catch up on uni work before DS3 consumes my life I guess.
 
Ordered mine from Base.com and the order status is still pending

way too vague, next few hours can mean a lot

they are not doing any more refunds. Not sure I'll use GMG again with so many other alternatives. It's not unreasonable to expect a download key in good enough time to do a pre-load. This is all digital currency after all, and they've had my money for a month. The delay makes them feel even more of a dodgy outfit than CD Projekt made them out to be last year.
 
Eh, in total I payed 45 € for DS 3 + season pass on CDkeys. I can't really be mad about not having a key yet, I will not be able to play it at midnight anyway.
 
Available: April 11
This game will unlock in approximately 10 hours

How does that work out? That's around 6pm est. We usually get things around midnight EST or midnight pacific. Why is it so early for DS3?
 
CD Keys, just confirmed this afternoon for delivery

@watur1234 We're expecting the keys to be fully delivered later this afternoon GMT.

Not sure why so many people (mainly at their forums) seem upset with GMG... it says right there on top of the store page that keys will be provided on the day of release. Glad to hear they're about to send them out though.

I chose to cancel my preorder and go with Gamesplanet, as the whole "authorized distributor" thing feels a bit shady. I'd be very interested in seeing the license's country of origin, if someone who gets the game from GMG could open Steam with developer console enabled.
 
From funstock digital support:

"Hi there!

Thanks for emailing in! Our pre-load is actually being prepared right now, and the keys will be in your account in the next few hours.

Not much longer, thank you for sticking with us!"

Give it NOW!, I needs the precious.....
 
If I get my key from CDkeys and enter it before the game unlocks, would that give me the pre-order soundtrack on steam? If so, hurry up CDkeys and gimme my key!

Doubtful. They'll be retail keys, so won't benefit from the pre-order (unless stated on the CDKeys site).
