When I got my pre-order code, I noticed that it looked like an SE community site (née SE Members) code, 6-3-6-3, when actual account codes (product and item registration codes) are the 4-4-4-4-4. Some people even successfully registered them on the SE community site against instructions to just wait, and it got recognized as an ARR PC owner (again: not account registration, that's different).

In my morning not-fully-awakefulness I'm happy that all is well and the U.S. gamers are patiently, courteously waiting for the 20th, even on the beta forums, and it's not just because they're all still asleep and unaware of this news. Please allow me this moment.
