I heard that anyone who preorders will be let into the game two days before it's release on April 28th. But if the game isn't in stores till the 28th, how do we go about getting it two days ahead of time?

Most games arrive in the stores several days in advance. The store "has" to wait until the release date to start selling the game. Hence, they have the game, and if you preorder it you can go in the store on the preorder "release date" 48 hours earlier and receive your copy

preorders can start accessing the servers at 12:01 am on the 27th of april

IF THEY HAVE THE PREORDER BOX AND PREORDER KEY

on the 28th at 11:59 pm they have to enter the retail box key to continue playing

or wait until the retail box arrives and enter the key

Mr. Lansing is right... if you pre-ordered locally in your area, the stores will have the game on the 26/27th. If you pre-ordered the game you can get in with your pre-order key (your bwe key). Example I pre-ordered from my local Gamespot. They will have the game on the 27th. They may or may not put it on the shelves on the 27th or they may wait till the 28th. When they will call you and say the game is here! Even though they got it on the 27th.

We don't get it 48 hours early. We get it 24 hours early + a 24 hour "grace" period on the day of release. So from the 27 to the 28 we get to play without having the actual game but after that we're shut off.

Please don't post things like "Mine Too". All that posts like that do is clutter up the forums. If you have any questions, I'd like to refer you to this thread. If you don't have something meaningful to add, don't post.
