Yeah a least some of the SE testers have received the kits. *impatienly waiting, full of anger and rage* Your not the only on who has received a faulty cd. Let me guess just like everyone else the 3rd disk file data3.cab is fudged up?

Seems like the west coast will be getting their kits first. Just my luck too when i live on the east coast
If your guess is true, Hiryuu, then if I get one, it might come tomorrow or friday, 'cause I live in the midwest. I really hope I get it. I want it really bad, but not as bad as UltimaWeapon.

I got it United States Postal Service, I signed up on the first day but I do not remeber what time. Sorry guys..
Hang in there ya'll I had my hopes in the dumps constantly, about not getting accepted.
Nvidia Test Kits are being Shipped out of Fremont California, from some fulfillment center, which would explain why I got mine early
well then if I get in I should be getting mine today or tomrrow (im in the midwest). i signed up w/i 30 minutes of the thread starting on this board, so my hopes are up :P

Grrr...
Now something else has begun to worry me. It seems that LOTS of people are saying, "well, I'm pretty sure I got into the Nvidia one, I signed up withing the first " NO!!! [i]That's the one that I was supposed to be most confident about!
u_u;;;

w00t So far it looks like it's not comong out of Minnesota. Yay, Square didn't make the same mistake twice. :D
Worry not Strapps. Nvidia has 1000 kits and probably took at least a day and a half to fill. Remeber it took until 3:30 am of the second day for all of IGN's spots to be filled and they only had about 100 kits.

I applied for the Nvidia beta before I knew I had been accepted by Squenix and I definitely applied on the first day sometime....if I do got an Nvidia one as well...Ill have to give it away to some lucky person on these boards.......

Well Im not even sure if I got in the Nvidia beta, but if I do get one from them, I wont sell it, thats just not right. Ill just have to think of a great way to give it away to someone on these boards!

I dont think its possible to get more then one beta, unless SE screwed up. I thought all beta promotion winners were sent directly to SE where they would send them out from there; and would check for doubles.

If that was the case i dont think any of the promo winners would have gotten their kits by now due to this uber screw up.

That would definitely make since, however Square hasnt been doing that a good a job double checking anything else during the PC beta roll out. Plusm why would the Nvidia betas be coming standard mail if they were just sent from Square? I heard that each promo contest already had the betas in hand and after their respective contests they would habdle shipments indivdually, hince the reasons most promos are coming mail and the SE beta is coming UPS(UGH). Either way I dont care, Im just curious.

I would say its more like the place in clearwater, or what ever it was, sent the beta's out to nvidia, ati, ign and what not on the second. Then the promo's started mailing them out themselves. Its either that or they sent them out a day or two early. If the promo places would have had them before the second and they are sending them out via regular mail we would have had them before now.....
For a moment, just a moment I thought about saying before the Square-enix beta testers got theirs but..... Some still haven't gotten them.:sweat:

what do you mean mistake? I think they were just making sure all the great people [me] got it first. heh...j/k. I didn't get in to the s-e one anyway. And logically, shipping from the center of the country is a much better idea than shipping from either coast, from the center, it will arrive everywhere sooner. That and s-e has a storage place or something out in clear lake with their name on it (or rather a PO box, but they own a building).
Anyway, sorry to go off topic.

I dont think you understood what DarthWufei meant by mistake. Why don't you go to the thread named "the beta shipping problem"
Must help Wake! *Calls 1800-BETAKIT*
lol, glad to see people have been watching it
ah, i see what he meant. i just read that. Anyway, there are other shipping companies here. But yes, my mistake.
