Stupid f***s want to charge you 5.95 for the beta CD (hello, ever heard of DOWNLOADING you smucks..i bought my DSL for a reason).
But ok..i can see it's a few gigs and they dont want the bandwith..fine.
Then they want to charge me $31!!!!! for shipping..
Erm...ok. I get most my shit shipped here for 10-20$ and that is stuff i buy.
This is a beta..i'm helping YOU develop and fix your game. You shuld be friggin paying me.

They shipped the 3 Planetside CD's to me for free. So I don't think it's Sony this time around :/

It's sony, they just happen to know the Star Wars Fanboi's will pay it. Oh and another thing Avi are you still in Europe? Sony wouldn't send PS CD's to anyone outside the US for the most part, Canadians were having a fit over it.

They did send the PS cd to canada. Yeah paying for CD sucked, being forced to use UPS sucked for SWG. As someone said not sure the extent of sony involvement in that decision...remember this is a joint venture for both Sony and Lucasart. Past Sony beta, EQ and Planetside were free so might be Lucasart who wanted to charge...Sony might want money...but Lucas is probably even worse when it comes to his little SW universe.

I can't stand the damned game, been in beta since the last major wipe. IMO the game is no where near ready for release.

i got accepted over a month ago and they do let you download if you dont want to wait on discs. vut even though ou download it you still have to pay the $5.95 AND shipping. thats f*****g rediculous!
