Getting too damn expensive! :uzi:
I just pre-ordered PS at EBWorld with overnight delivery. So I should have it on the 20th. :beer:

Have they announced the monthly fee yet? When will PS be on the shelf at stores?
its gonna be the same a EQ.. 12.95/month Figured this because the game card is that same as the EQ game card.
It should be on store shelves by the 20th of May.
My mind is made up. I will not be purchasing PlanetSide. So I'll be getting back into RavenShield and BF1942.
Have fun! For me it's PS all the way, baby.
Well Squidly in that case....

I'm in on the 20th, and that why I have a Credit Card. Stitch, Remember... TV only get 3 channels or pay that monthly fee(cable) and get 1000 channels. Hmmmm...
I was happily playing this afternoon when all of a sudden everything locked up. CTRL-ALT-DEL, Windows key, alt-Tab... nothing. So I had to cold boot.
No problem, right?
Well my system started coming up "Disk Error, press Ctrl-Alt-Del".
Over and over and over again.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I pulled a drive out of one of my other computers, and I'm in the process of restoring stuff, but I'm not going to spend another 48 hours downloading and patching Planetside. I'll wait for the 20th before getting back in.
Grrrrrrrrrrr....
haha, all you had to do was restore to last known good settings and let it reboot a couple more times.. worked for me. ;)
That won't work...it's a DISK error, not a software error.
It'd be easy to fix (or at least test) if I only had one drive, but I have two drives in a Raid 0 config. If one dies, they're pretty much both toast.
Should have built that machine yourself.

How would building the machine myself prevent a hardware error? If a drive is going to blow, it's going to blow. I blame Planetside. LOL.
The nasty thing about drive errors is you don't want to send them off to get them fixed. The drives are full of personal information. I've got Quicken on there, email, and my web browser is full of cookied sites like Amazon.
Bleh.
This is the exact reason I'm seriously considering buying a 250 gig Firewire External HD setup (Maybe the Maxtor as it has good auto back-up software) and let it backup all my systems on the network once a week. Like on a Sunday night, let it run all night backing up my Win box, Linux box, and wife's new Sager Notebook. That way, if something goes wrong... I just format and re-copy onto the drive.Quote:

Currently, I back-up probably once a month (if I remember) and that's only when I save my documents folder, Outlook Personal Folders, Favorites, and Cookies onto my "archives" drive. I back-up Quicken after every session... I have too many bills to pay to risk losing all the entries per week! ROFLMAO :D
If planetside gave me a that many games for my monthly fee I wouldn't mind but you get just the one. I don't know about you but my cable install was free as were the first 2 months. PS has gotten very repetitive and starting to get a little a boring for me so I think I will pass on this.Quote:
