Yes, the Steam key. Thought that's what you were talking about. Refund was not an issue at all, although it takes 3 - 5 business days to see the money.
I've ordered a lot of games from GMG, and they have typically been reliable getting keys out within 24 hours of the release. One however wasn't sent until 12 hours prior (still not really an issue), but another wasn't even sent ten hours after TW3 went live. But TW3 was kind of an outlier issue. The only reason I bothered trying Gamesplanet (who I had never heard of until yesterday) was because they were supposed to be comparable to GMG and they had keys available, plus they are supposed to be an authorized reseller for publishers. I'd rather save $10 - $15 from a site like this than $20 - $25 from the "grey market" sites.

Your best bet is probably to spend the $30 on best buy GCU (You could even share the account with 2 friends if you're willing to share a bb account) and get it for $48+tax per game + cost of 2 years of GC ($30). Would save you $ in the long run
Some more examples

What's the difference between regular version and the Day One version?
Wanted to get this on Amazon Prime cause it's cheap but noticed that PS4 day one versions are sold out...

Yeah, yeah. I'm super tired, not sure how I even thought you might be talking about PS4 codes lol.
Will probably get a refund if I haven't heard a peep from them some hours before the game unlocks.

I assume you're in NA. The NA Day One edition has a slipcase with diff artwork and I believe the actual box art is the same as the slipcase instead of the thumbs up one that is everywhere. You also get the OST on disc in a paper sleeve and a small starter guide by prima that is like a game manual of last gen essentially.
The apocalypse edition is the same as the day one edition albeit for PAL territories and it has a beautiful (I got mine already) metal case with embossed art.

Usually the day of release, so worst case scenario is you get your key on Tuesday.

Is this the case for every retailer? Would I get the apocalypse edition if I've ordered from amazon?

Would the folks who played the imported version recommend this game to someone (me) who could'nt even defeat Martyr Logarious in Bloodborne? Even with co op help Ive yet to beat that sonofabitch. Thanks.

Doesn't seem to be worth the extra ~20$ to get it at GameStop. Thanks!

I'm pretty excited about this game. Never played any of the Dark Souls games. I've played Demon's Souls and Bloodborne, though. I rented Demon's Souls from Blockbuster (remember when Blockbuster existed?) and it was incredibly stressful and I got salty so I returned it with my tail between my legs. Loved Bloodborne a lot, though. Kind of wish I wasn't a tremendous scrub when Demon's Souls came out so I could've enjoyed it and wouldn't be apprehensive about playing Dark Souls at launch. Happy to be picking this one up on launch day.

Gamestop had a nice bonfire key chain in their day one special. I should've ordered that one :-/

I'm ready for the PS4 game launch!
Unlike Bloodborne, I am going in completely blind. So though spoilers don't really upset me any, this will likely be my only comment here till Wednesday afternoon.
Can't wait to go through another dark souls experience. Even better that everything will be fresh, new, and 100% unknown. Looking back, wish I did that for Bloodborne.

This made me chuckle.
I kept calling "blood echoes" "souls" in Bloodborne, but I guess it goes both ways.

I'd say very effective since I always use a greatsword build
Otherwise just try to invest only a few into whatever you would have otherwise. You can still try the weapons even if you're short on the stats but you'll only be able to two hand them, which I tend to find you do nothing but two-hand with the large weapons unless the single handed setup has a particular attack you can get some use out of like a lunge.GlenChivas

Reads as 1.03 on my Pre-load.
Added Online functionality in a previous update and then just general performance and bug tweaks.
Gotta learn how to cheese, man. It's the safest way to get the goodies.

So how many people are going to spend an extra long time in the first areas where it looks like you can reach stuff that you normally shouldn't be able to before moving on? Or rather, searching out the areas that look like they have that kind of potential.
Even though each time you would recover your echoes the screen would have a huge font stating as such, I still never once thought of them as anything other than souls.

1.03. The main change is that a certain weapon was nerfed since 1.02.

1.03
Basically bugfixes and 1.03 added it's first mechanics balancing, nothing major but they nerfed already a weapon.

Danke, is there still a day one patch on the way for the performance issues in the later areas?

I asked for a refund for something once and they said no. I gave them hell for it and they still just said no. :/
Do you live in Europe by any chance? I know they have very strict refund laws that have to be obeyed no matter what. I live in NA.
