okay so my plan: Play the open demo. If I don't like it -> wait until discount to buy. If I like it -> get EA access for 1 month, preorder game, play 10 hour demo, evaluate if I still like it. If I dont like it anymore -> cancel preorder, Wait until discount to buy. If I still like it -> cancel EA access after 10 hours is up. Glee in anticipation of Feb 22. Just curious, if you end up not liking it, why would you even buy on discount?

entering my GameStop code just sits there and spins endlessly instead of giving me my PS4 code. Anyone else experiencing that issue? I've heard of that issue, which I understood was being looked into, though I'm not convinced the demo download is yet available.

I am considering putting in a pre-order for the Legion of Dawn Edition through Origin on PC so that I can play the Demo that will come available on January 25th. But January 25th is a Friday and I work, and they will shut it down on Sunday...so that really only leaves me the Saturday to try it out. From everything I've seen, heard and learned thus far, I am sure I will like the game. There hasn't been a Bioware game since KOTOR that I haven't thoroughly enjoyed.
In recent memory the only game I have purchased and liked at first...for the first week or so, then grown to loathe is Bioshock. I don't really enjoy First Person Shooters, but the thing about Bioshock that killed it for me was that I just got to a point where I was surrounded by enemies, with NO ammo for any weapons, no health and no way out. So after a while I just gave up on the game completely and eventually sold it to a store as Used. That was the first and only time and title with which that has happened. I have never done that with any Bioware games, and I don't see that happening with ANTHEM. Not int he slightest.
Should I pre-order Anthem so that I can play the Demo? If so, when should I do it so that I gain access with enough time to download and then play?

The open demo 7 says later gives you a similar path, just not a banner and Ranger armor/weapon pack. I'd expect the demo will be available to download a few days ahead, so unless you have the bandwidth of a potato, you should be fine.

Our home internet is Unlimited...I'm just concerned about timing. I mean I'd like very much to maximize my playing time and have a fair and equal shot at seeing/playing as much of the demo content as possible before it's taken offline. I mean it would really suck if someone only had three or four hours to play before Sunday....when many other people (some who even took Friday off work and play hookie) downloaded and played since the earliest possible time on Friday.
Anyways, I just thought that I could probably download it early Friday morning or even Friday as soon as I got home from work...That would save some time. I'm sure however it works out, I'll have plenty of time to enjoy playing and see enough of it to be able to make a solid decision.

I'm sure however it works out, I'll have plenty of time to enjoy playing and see enough of it to be able to make a solid decision. Just my opinion, if you think having time with it on Saturday is enough to help give you an idea of how the game will feel for you, it's worth doing. During the Closed Alpha, there were only set hours on set dates, roughly 3-hour windows per session (this was publicly posted, so that's not breaking NDA ). I was able to spend the full 3 hours in one session, but only an hour in a second session because of a family holiday dinner. That was a bummer and other people, naturally, might not have had obligations and got to play more than me. That didn't really matter to me, though. I got good playtime in and was able to form some initial impressions for myself. As far as when the demo might be available to download... again, I don't know 100%, however, I've seen most other games with demos have them available for pre-download at least the day before. I believe the Fallout 76 beta worked that way. So, in theory, you would be able to download on Thursday, so whenever you got home on Friday, you could jump right in.

JUST made my pre-order the Legion of Dawn Edition through Origin on PC. Figured why not? Do it now, or do it later- either way it doesn't really make a difference. Expensive up here in The Great White North....cost me 113.00 after taxes. Plus I've got the Art book and the LOD Edition Strategy guide on pre-order from Amazon.ca- that's another hundred bucks. I haven't spent this much on a game (collectively between the game and other books) since Dragon Age Inquisition. With that purchase, I bought the Art book, CE Strategy Guide and both volumes of The World of Thedas...But for DA:I it was totally worth it. I'm hoping this will be too.

What have I not done? Pre-ordered Anthem.
Why not?
Because the Origin store is charging the wrong sales tax.
Trivial? Sure. But after being told by tech support that they were working it, nah, that was a lie, I'm pissed.
Now when I go into a chat session, they tell me it's resolved and when I ask to file a formal complaint, they cut of the chat session.
EA is in violation of their Terms of Sale (which they have filed under "Legal"). Part 3 specifically. Not sure how they can hold me to a legally binding agreement, when they themselves are in violation.
Yeah, yeah … we're supposed to play nice … but really, why play nice when they lie to me with respect to fixing/addressing the problem?
Yeah, I'm pissed. A month of being jerked around and the whole time, they were lying.

EA case: 45379395 Hi, Grinch. While I certainly sympathize with your case/post/current predicament....I am confused as to why you say "Origin is charging the wrong tax" Where is it that you reside that would cause a discrepancy in the tax? Where I live, our wonderful government charges Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 13% on the dollar, so at the price of 99.99 CDN, the final bill for me after tax was 112.99 which is accurate.
If you don't mind, could you clarify a bit.

Sure. In the US, we don't have an HST. Sales tax for online purchases are charged based on your billing address. There is no national sales tax, some states don't have a sales tax, but most states do. Within a given state, some entities (like cities) are able to charge a sales tax, in addition to the state sales tax. If you live in that city, then you pay both the state and the city sales tax.
I live in Nebraska. I live in a suburb of Omaha, but don't actually live within the city limits. Our zip codes help online companies to determine the proper sales tax to charge us. For example, when I purchase something from Amazon, Lowe's, Home Depot, Joe's New Balance Outlet or Dick's Sporting Goods, they charge me state sales tax, but not city sales tax.
My zip code (billing address) is what defines the appropriate sales tax to be charged. If I go into a store in the city, I pay both state and city sales tax. But if I buy from that store online and have it shipped to me, I only pay state sales tax. If I go to a store outside the city limits and make a purchase, I only pay state sales tax … for example, the John Deere dealer.
Given that my county property taxes are higher than what I would pay if I lived within the city limits, paying only state sales tax for online sales is one of the few perks to living outside the city limits.
The amount is trivial. But EA makes such a big farking deal about all the legal "stuff" … then turn around and be in violation of their own terms of sale. I get it. They are a big company and they can ignore the issue … too small to worry, right? And it's not that I think they are keeping the difference … that would be foolish and open them to charges of fraud.
No, I think they are remitting the full amount to my state, because either their online sales software has a problem … or they don't want to pay the subscription fees for the correct sales taxes to charge, based on locale (i.e. billing address) … those have to be updated continuously, because suburbs get annexed, cities and states change their rates … nothing is static and a subscription service for the software can get a bit pricey for small businesses … large corps like EA are just being cheap.

Hi again, Grinch. Up here in the Great White North, it's different. Some provinces (ie Alberta) only have a 5% GST (Goods and Services tax), they don't have a Provincial Sales Tax (PST). Other provinces have both taxes but they are separated into GST and PST (anywhere from 13 to 17%, I believe) and it's calculated on the Dollar (which right now is sitting at a dismal 74.15 cents to the U.S. Dollar). Still other Provinces (like Ontario) have PST and GST combined into Harmonized Sales Tax (which is supposed to be lower than traditionally separating the two, but I don't see it like that- not when other Provinces don't also have HST or only have to pay a GST like Alberta). But it has dropped out provincial average by 2% as we used to be 15% on the Dollar, 8% PST and 7% GST. Now we pay 13% combined. I know Laws of all kinds are similar in some ways between the US and us Canadians eh (sorry, had to throw that in! ) But there's also a lot that makes us different. But based on your explanation and where you said you reside, I can totally understand why you would be upset. In some respects it's a matter of principle and standing behind what you're selling (speaking of any large Corporation). But, sad as it is....At the end of the day it's about Almighty Greenback (or in the case of Canadian money, Purple, Pink, Green and Blue). The wonderful paper (or in our case a nasty polymer) lubricant that makes suckers, fools and green-headed monsters of us all (tongue-in-cheek).

I'll be playing on an X-99 based PC. I'll be playing on PC cannot do controllers Hehe I have no left thumb so I literally fat finger the A B buttons I haven't used a PC controller since 1995 when the Game Pads came out; I would use them to play NHL 95, but I only ever used tthem to play one of two sports games (Hardball 4, NHL '95)...and one time I remember I wanted to play a gamewitht hem...but they wouldn't work by that time the input ports had changed so they were of no use. So then I just got used to playing games that required KB/M. But the odd time when I hook up my xbox 360 from 2009, I do enjoy the controller. But over all I much prefer to play on PC with KB/M and re-mapped key bindings. Never did like the Default Q,W, A,S on the left side. Always remap to the arrows for movement, F9 for my Quick Save, F10 for Quick Load (Number Pad 0 for Jump) and others.

Has anyone else preordered a physical copy of the game? From what I understand we are supposed to get a code for access to the preorder demo as well but the place I preordered from had no idea what I was talking about.

No, I preordered right after Anthem release date was announced (or somewhere thereabouts - it was VERY early). And I only just got my code emailed to me about 2-3 weeks ago.

Any news on those rumors that Origin Premier members can give invites to friends for the VIP demo? Because I have literally zero friends on Origin and can give invitest out to BSNers. (this was so not supposed to sound like a desperate call for online friends 😂)

Thanks. That's good info to have. I'm slightly alarmed that EB had no idea about the codes. Did you get the email right when you preordered? No, I preordered right after Anthem release date was announced (or somewhere thereabouts - it was VERY early). And I only just got my code emailed to me about 2-3 weeks ago. That's when I preordered too. Hmmmmm. Thanks for all the info!

It's certainly not Mark and Jon's fault. The naming conventions really aren't helping. - Origin Access
- EA Access
- Origin Access Premier
- VIP access to the demo
- Early access trial
And all of those things are different. And not presented in one *cough* easy chart *cough* but posted on different websites. EA Origin Access Basic Membership EA Origin Access Premium Membership
Can someone pitch EA more convoluted ideas for their membership service?
They could add multi tiered system to each level of membership.
You can rank up in tiers by downvoting youtube and twitter feeds of people being negative towards EA. If you want to skip 'the grind' of downvoting you can buy a bot from EA that does it for you or just purchase 'EA membership bucks' and use those to increase your rank for each membership.
Every time you rank up in a membership service you can activate god mode in any EA game for 1 minute that does not count as cheating.
Every ten rank ups in membership grant you 1 hour of 'earlier access' to play any upcoming game and a 0.005% discount on pre-order pricing. 'Earlier Access' TM and pre-order discount tier rank pricing obviously would need to have a maximum reward cap but you could keep paying to rank up beyond that cap if you so chose.
You can also rank up at any time instantly with EA member bucks.
