I did actually find the web return option on the MS store. It's just odd that my Googling beforehand hadn't revealed that option.

Any way to get that code without making an (easily cancelled) Amazon order? Seems they've shut Amazon out, or Amazon has run out.

I'm wondering the same thing. From what I've read, you CAN cancel an XBox Store preorder, but you have to go through customer service to do so. I mean, I'd like to believe I'm definitely buying it, but it'll depend a lot on the beta experience. If I get in.

Nope, not that complicated, you just go to the orders page in a browser and there is a cancel button.

Given that almost everything is at distance, having bullet drop will require skillful compensation too.

The pistol accuracy is pretty bad and the sniper/musket has insane lead time if you are trying to snipe someone on another ship. But it sure is fun to try :D

Even so, it's a lot of fun to use both weapons.

Hahahahhahahaha

You didn't notice? Why did you think we bailed on you?

I knew it in the back of my head but I was too busy fighting skeletons, making sure the map wasn't upside down, digging holes and finding scarecrows! It's hard work. You guys just floated around in circles and fired cannons! and there was three of you :P

This is so very up my alley (well, except for the PVP stuff. That does not seem well thought out and will eat to griefing).

Yeah, but it can have its moments. :v

Wow, You guys had that entire fight while I was trying to find one lousy chest!

I have not played they game as I had not heard of it until last night (when I returned from my hometown's annual celebration of pirates), but I watched a few hours of people playing the beta and am pretty hyped.

I'm stuck with Korny's videos until it releases.

Why, yes, we are! At which times are you usually up for it? I really want to squeeze the crap out of this beta.

Probably between 6:00-10:00pm US Central time. If I get in and get it downloaded.

That's right, a sort-of-exclusive Xbone game! They might be a thing again!

Remember, you can get into the Beta by preordering the game from Amazon. You will immediately receive a Beta code through email, and you can cancel your preorder. Amazon won't charge your card for preorders until they release, so you don't have to wait for them to hold your money! :v

Here's a (slightly NSFW) video showing what Sea of Thieves might be like. It's a great watch, and if the actual game is like this, I might be picking it up:
