When I went to Gamestop to pre-order my CE, I was given a receipt. It stated pre-order code. I was also told by the employee, this code will get you early access to the game and other pre-order benefits. Then when reading Bioware's email and site where they talk about it, they say up to 5 days early access. Well since I pre-ordered my game on day 1/2, I got access on the 13th, which is 7 days early access I believe. You need to read what they say and not act like an immature child because something isn't completely spelled out to you. There was no secret about early access. The whole point of early access is to slowly introduce players into the servers. Do you know how annoying it is trying to do an early quest with 20-40 other players doing the same quest at the same time? The early access is a way of rewarding those that pre-ordered and registered early. If you were too stupid to register early that's your fault. Do you know how long it took to register and verify the code? Less than 5 minutes. I did it right when I got home from the store. Quit complaining about the fact that you were too lazy to read and now are pissed that you have to wait for the real release date. Oh and btw, I was given game access during the 2nd wave on the 13th because I registered the day I bought the game.
