@ChugKendallI I ended up purchasing it from Best Buy. I wanted the SteelBook case. From my understanding Beta access is open to everyone. BestBuy.com does have on its website the following: "Early access to game launch". NOTE: That was only in the digital version. So, we should receive the access code, but I am guessing. Also, Best Buy now has the disc version of the game available.
@KOT-RottenDeslok Yes, the beta is open to all, but the word was that preordering it got you into the beta a week early (extra play time). I tried to enter the code I received on EA's site, and through Micro$oft, and looked all over Gamestop's website, but nothing worked. Called two different Gamestops, and their associates don't have a clue, either. It's really making me irritated.
@ChugKendall I'm only guessing but I would assume the code isn't needed until the early access beta actually starts and if the closed alpha hasn't started yet it may be a while yet, battlefield V had it's beta 1 month before launch and then the games launch was put back a month. So they may be doing it 1 or 2 months before release again.
I would watch out for any new info at the upcoming ea play event or on their website afterwards.
Steam has a betas code section on a game when you right click the game in library and consoles would probably use their shops redeem codes sections but I assume they won't work until it's actually available to download and play the early access beta, then it'll probably be downloadable in the shop section.
So i wouldn't worry too much about it until you get to the early beta date.
