This has been resolved so it should be working now.

Yup, all good now

I've signed up. Hopefully I can get in. I mean crap, I've been playing this game religiously since I was a kid so it'd be disappointing not to be selected.

Now we get to watch people try and figure out which version they think they will need by then.

Hint for any next gen hopefuls: if/when the internet Gods smile upon you and bless you with the gift of a next gen console that the bots were unable to grab, you're still likely at least a few weeks away from that delivery. If you haven't got one on order yet then get the previous gen version of the beta.

In some way - it would be more exciting to play it first at realese - but then again, you dosent really wanna miss the beta...

As much as I complain about the game at times, I still enjoy it. But it can certainly be better.

Yea for real - after I decided I was going to buy a Series X - it was about 3 weeks before I was able to snag one on Amazon using the HotStock app for Iphone.

Yeah it's not impossible to like 21 - I do too, and mainly - I like it plenty enough for me to be excited for what they gonna bring to 22.

Gonna be fun listen to what the crew has to say about their work they have been doing the 'latest year'.

If you live in a major city I’d recommend checking in on the Best Buy site daily. I had some luck with same day pickup first thing in the morning.
Out of curiosity, because I couldn't answer this, does anyone know if there would be any downside to getting a Series S if the only games my brother plays are NHL and Madden?

But the next generation consoles gotta be a whole nother experience then the "ps4-360" version - it gotta squeeze out more of the game huh?

Like having a better pc - games flow better?

Wish I could have signed up for both Xbox Series and Xbox One versions. I kind of wanted to try them both since I got a Series X. Pretty much they won't be cross-gen so I'll end up needing both.

Why not go back on the link and register again? That's what I did, though I did it got ps5 and series x, and would be good with getting either. I'm not sure if it would impact you if you signed up twice.

The real question is will he want 4k this generation, if not then the S is fine and will use the next gen versions of games.

The graphics won't look as crisp, and I'm not sure if it can do 4k well enough but other than that I don't think there will be any differences. Maybe on menu screens but otherwise it ought to be the same game.

Still no success signing up for the beta - I might have to live with the idea of not being able to play this beta.

Oh well - I think I can handle it..

I have signed in this morning succesfully, I wish it comes in around the 23rd of the month or so or earlier.
