Sucker that I am, I'm pretty much on lock to buy this. I'll probably pick it up this weekend and I'll give out the keys first come first serve style via PM.

Got it, but I don't seem to have gotten any free codes. I haven't registered yet, maybe they give 'em out then.

It looks like I don't get buddy passes after all, at least not yet. Sorry folks.

That's alright. Thanks for trying. They're probably waiting for initial sales to taper off before handing out the free/trial/referral promos.

ah might just be collectors edition... which is a shame, may pick this up tomorrow.

Maibs · January 22, 2011, 09:24:03 PM

Ok you do get buddy keys but only in the collectors edition, theres a thread on another forums where people have been posting keys but they get snapped up fast, so just gonna bite-the-bullet and picked it up.

Whats your ingame name and server shakes?

I'm on Last Laugh (US servers, pve), with a villain named Tiny Terror in a guild called Useless (as in, The Useless League).

I wouldn't mind starting a new toon somewhere else though.

Well love the game but..... from the little legends pvp and arena pvp ive done it sucks, big time, im hoping it gets better or im just havin a off day but it seems to be smash smash smash and hope the other person doesnt have regen or sodas....

I'm on a PVE server, so the only pvp I've done so far has been one Arena match and one Legends match. So far they both seem really poorly balanced.

The matches I had were really one sided both times, it felt a lot like the pvp minigames in Age of Conan. On the Legends match me and my team of noob Harleys got smoked, and in the Arena my team cleaned up in an equally one sided fashion.

Maybe they get better at higher levels

open world pvp is just full of ganking but have had some fun and wouldnt want to play pve now.

Gonna try playing with 360 controller now as my mate swears by it.

I would. But I bend everything to the will of my 360 controller. I know it's wrong, but it feels so good.

Maibs · January 27, 2011, 12:03:58 AM

Wow, once you get used to the controls its so much better/easier using 360 controller.

Hey guys just letting you know I picked up the game you can find me in "No mans land" server. Username is Li0n0(yes the thundercat). Funny thing is my character looks like him. Also be a Hero..there's lots of villains to fight.

Sony cuts DC Universe subscription fee

Sony Online Entertainment has announced a 25 per cent price cut on subscription fees for its DC Universe Online MMO.

According to the PlayStation Blog, as of 8th February, any US users who sign up for the three-month DC Universe Online Legend Plan will now pay $29.99. That's a nice saving on the standard $41.99 package. You'll keep paying the reduced rate as long as your subscription is active.

Sony hasn't confirmed whether the offer will make it over to Europe but we'll update as soon as we find out either way.

It might be a good time to jump in. Although Eurogamer's John Bedford complained the PC and PlayStation 3 MMO was a little light on content at launch, SOE recently unveiled a meaty update for the game due later this month.
