Congrats but bummer about the card thing. Didn't know it was an EA Game. They did the same thing to my brother and sister-in-law with the SIMS Online Beta. Once the beta ended, EA charged the first month's service fee the very next day.

I hope the game is more enjoyable than the movies were.

I thought it was SEGA?

I thought it was SEGA?

It was a rhetorical statement.

Actually, they say that we DONT have to pay, so what the hell's the point of putting in a credit card number?

The email they sent me has instructions and it says this:

· Provide us with VALID credit card information. (Your card will NOT be charged.)

Maybe to verify your contact information?! Don't now really but a free beta test should not require a credit card

It's to verify you're over 18. You have to be over 18 to accept the NDA, or Non Disclosure Agreement.
