I seriously can't wait for this game. I got the official Xbox One headset pre-ordered for this game alone! I will be playing this game so much.

Zampella: TitanFall to support digital Pre-loading
- Thread starter Special C
- Start date
Just as an FYI for anyone who bought those and may be out of the loop here's some important dates:
You have 1 year from the day you redeem the code to use the converted value of the MSP on your account, then the redeemed credit disappears.
The LAST day you will be able to redeem these codes is November 24, 2014. After this date your unredeemed MSP codes will not work.
So, to drag this credit out as long as possible, redeem codes only as needed until Nov 24 this year (let's say do it on Nov 23 in case their wording is tricky), at which point redeem all unused codes and use THAT converted credit by 1 year later, Nov 24, 2015.
Still don't know how it's legal to get away with this sort of shit.
I am actually shocked that I like the One controller more than the 360 controller...

Nothing! I said nothing!
Most of the difference is VAT though. Hopefully we can play it on US release day.

I bought the game on GMG, I hope I get an Origin Key early enough to pre-load.
Not that I think there's a chance in hell the servers are going to work on launch day.

heh, I thought it was funny that the rating says M, and the text says "Must be 13+ to play online"

They usually give out the key a day or two ahead of the pre-load or right when it starts. Something like that.
I don't mind. I didn't have hundreds of dollars in points. Titanfall will all but clean me out. I am, however still using Bing Rewards, which is pretty awesome. Whatever they do with those sorta points is find by me.
That is maturity level

Sorry angreal. I saw the other Post in the new thread before I saw your reply!

i'm still holding out hope that MS does some kind of preorder incentive for digital buyers, which is why you can't pay yet.
i want to buy this digitally but i don't want to leave any kind of cash on the table (though including tax, the $10 promo from the MS Store really only comes out to about a $6 promo... and i think a functional 10% discount doesn't outweigh the convenience of digital.

Weird, but at least it seems like they're working on offering pre-loads in the future.

How can you post that in error? Surely its not rocket science, they could just not turn the servers on until the day its out or something?
Microsoft don't really do anything to help themselves.

Oh like you've never generated a bunch of original information about a high profile game release and accidentally uploaded it to Xbox.com even though its wholly factually inaccurate.

Yep, that's the odd part. Hopefully the XB1 and PS4 get this feature soon.

Seems they aren't doing it to keep retail happy based on the wording in their statement.
I don't know about the charging part but I can't preload yet either. I suspect preloading starts a couple of days before release...
Bah! So looks like MS planned to have this available by now, but likely didn't get it worked out for the March Update, and so will not be delivering w/ preloading.
Hopefully this means we will see it soon...
Or MS just wrote that preload information ages ago and its still a ways off.

Yeah, the FAQ says they won't take your money till you can Pre-load. Kinda annoying, but what can ya do.
IGN reporting Titanfall cannot be preloaded on Xbox One Microsoft put up page in error.

Digital preload allows me to play @ 12:01am without ever leaving my house. Retailers can't match that. I suppose that is one reason why they would care.
I am sad that the retailers are holding us back from quality digital ecosystems like those on PC.
Yea, this will be official next week.

Microsoft wants people to go all digital and can't get preloads working for their new system's biggest game? Bad business for sure. A drive to Walmart or Gamestop at midnight is definitely quicker than a 15GB download that might not even start at midnight.

I do think retailers are to blame for the pricing stuff but preloading is completely idiotic to me. At this point I wouldn't put it past incompetent ass MS. They can't even get simple shit like pricing for their own promos right.
Has it been stated if people will have to fully download/install Titanfall before they can play it?
Wondering since it's an online game.

Wondering if I can just leave the beta on my computer because I don't feel like loading up 12gb again

Luckily for them, the market of people who buy games at midnight is a miniscule percentage of the total market.

Nothing! I said nothing!
So it seems this is not coming soon then either because of retailers. I don't mind about preloading with my internet connection but I want pre-order bonuses.
Is there ever going to be a fair balance struck between retail and digital?

Any way for a European to play on PC on the 11th? Possibly activate the game through Origin using a US VPN?

I'd be willing to bet they'd sell a hell of a lot of digital copies if they advertised "Don't wait in line, stay in and be playing at midnight!!" on the dash for the next couple weeks.
