Wasn't really sure where to put this but oh well. I was just wondering if I pre-order Aion from Play.com do I still receive the special features from pre-ordering?

* Seven (7) Days of Additional Free Game Time: One extra week of free game time
* Aion? Beta Events: Receive a code to access all of the Aion? beta events. Play in an Aion? beta event, and you will have a chance to win* a killer Alienware gaming notebook or other great prizes, including ATI Radeon? HD video cards and subscriptions to Aion?.
* Head Start on the Live Game: Get an early head start to the live game, before the game goes on sale.
* Preselection: Access to Aion? server and character pre-selection!
* Prepurchase-Only In-Game Items:
o Black Cloud Hat (gives boosts to HP, MP, magical resistance, and evasion)
o Lodas' Amulet (gives a +20% experience boost)
o Ancient Ring of Wind

On Play it mentions nothing about these features or are they specific to the NCsoft website store?

yes you will have access to the beta (happening now) preselection and headstart

the in game bonuses depend on whether or not you but the CE or normal (CE being sold out in most places)

Direct2Drive is still selling copies of both US and EU Aion CE, if other places have sold out :)

I was just going to get the normal version from play as it's cheaper ^^ I take it you still get 30 days free play with the pre order but how about the extra week?

Does anyone have the key yet? I ordered from play.com ages ago and still doesn't have the pre-order key.

If you haven't ordered yet and still want to, order today from Aiononline.com just get the Digital copy, the full retail key is applied instantly so you will have no worries come head start.

play.com's website says they will send out preorder keys 5 days before launch - for the eu that makes it sunday 20th - i emailed them about the preselect and headstart starting this weekend and how they were going to email me on a sunday and I was told that I would probably get my preorder key on monday 21st - coupled with their delivery estimate of (i think it was) the 4th October I promptly canceled and ordered digital with ncsoft

my suggestion - get in contact with them asap
