PC Version - Where??

I've been looking at my local stores (EB Games, Best Buy, Future Shop) and have roughly 15 stores total in the area. It seems that each store is getting like 3 copies of the game every couple days(roughly every 5th day)!!

Also the digital downloads is STILL not available yet. What's up with that?

Emphasis (priority) was obviously given to PS3 users since it's RAINING PS3 copies of this game... being that I always planned to have both PS3 and PC version of the game why would there not be some type of "hidden" area within my account where I would be able to purchase the digital version of the game (only able to link it to my PS3 copy) since I already play on a server I wouldn't be adding to server capacities?

2 weeks after a game release to open digital and even physical copies of the game to PC users is completely unacceptable.

Digital purchase have been disable for a week plus now due to their server issues. There will be a maintenance again tomorrow to expand the servers once again. If they do the job properly this time the digital sales may resume by the week end.

I went to 4 stores yesterday for the PC game that showed they had (2) in stock and they couldn't find them at any of those stores Argh!

The PS3-PC Ratio is easily explainable as 1.0 - 2.0 (Free PC if own 1.0).

Just try to buy it online anywhere in NA region (eBay) and then ask seller to only email you the activation code as there is nothing else you'd really need from the box anyway ...

i actually have an unused standard retail code, bought collectors edition after i bought standard and only activated the collectors code. I'm not willing to give it away on here though, trying to get a friend in real life interested in trying it out!

I only notice ps3 copies around my area because everyone wants it on pc, when offered the ps3 version they laugh and walk away. Happens everyday in GameStop here. Maybe it's different in other areas but where I live console games don't do mmos, just call of duty and Madden .....I live in the south by the way *rolls eyes*

Man I hope so. Thanks for the answer.

I need to bump this again for my PC brethren.

I need to say this: you guys are majorly dropping the ball for PC users. I double checked again today - this time in ALL STORE locations in Alberta, Canada... still not a single copy in any of the stores. However in every store and worldwide PS3 version of the game is dropping like candy.

I would be remiss if I didn't say it for any voiceless PC players: you guys are really REALLY REALLY dropping the ball here for us. I would go into more detail and in an angrier tone but I don't want to get banned.

Was that the intention here? To ostracize PC players? I don't get the marketing on this since I'm pretty sure PC vs PS3 formats are pretty similar nowadays if not PS3 being "harder" to produce. Speaking about physical copies of the game - it's obvious that they deliberately made a decision here to shove 1 player base out of it. PC players.

Care to give an official response, SE?

I feel exactly the same way. I wanted to wait a couple days after launch to avoid any bugs right off the bat, and since then have not been able to find the game or order the digital download. Very frustrating.

Same..apparently, we're to hope they get their shit sorted after the next downtime and will allow digital dl's again..I'm not holding my breath on that one though...:(

I actually bought the game from the SE online store(physical copy) only to get a followup email detailing how the game is now on back order until it becomes available again...This is the kind of shitty game service that makes me want to drop this game. NOWHERE on the site does it say that the physical copies are unavailable and yet, SE will still take my money and make me wait. So now, I have 2 copies(one digital and one physical) and can't play either. I hope you're enjoying my hard earned cash SE....

I preordered my pc copy from amazon. Usually pc games demand much higher graphics than I am willing to pay for. This game falls into the acceptable playing level for pc graphics.

That and I have more time to play on the pc because I'm on at night when the family wants control of the tv.
If the graphics had been too high on the requirements probably would have passed it by.
Gives me hope that perhaps other games will calm down on graphics and look for buyers on normal pc settings, maybe?
This is the final hurrah for ps3, is it any wonder why they would be pushing the ps3 version? Especially with ps4 coming out in 67 days....

It's not that they're allowing more sales of the Ps3 version in comparison to the PC one, it's the fact that the copies available for the PC are sold out, because everyone wants them, and the initial Ps3 copies are still in stock, because nobody wants those. There isn't anything more to it than that, they're just letting retailers sell the stock they have without bloating the servers with additional ones until they have the serer issues solved.
