I preordered the framework 16 with the graphics card on launch day 7 days ago, I read they will send the code after 5 days in some places while others say they will send it before starfield launch. Has anyone recieved a code already? As of writing this I have not.

I would think they will at least wait until the order is confirmed (payment processed on your card?). They do mention in that email that you can lose the preorder bonus if you change your preorder to remove the GPU module prior to shipping.

I haven’t followed when Starfield is supposed to launch, I am in no rush to play.

That’s the email I was referring to, I thought you had seen it. So not the actual code but a confirmation that you will get one if you don’t change your preorder until then.

I just got my code yesterday night…

No sign of the transaction on my credit card though.

I finally got my code yesterday as well, got through amd rewards and have it up and running on steam. ... also they didnt charge any more, and i didnt expect them to, so idk why you expected a charge / transaction on your CC ...

Because I can now change my mind about the preorder and boom, free game?

Not gonna do it, I want the laptop and the GPU 😁

I guess they decided to risk it so preorders get to play the game at the same time as everyone else, even if the hardware itself is shipped a few weeks/months behind.

So you didnt have to pay the initial $100 deposit? Interesting and sounds like a fluke. They have my $100 deposit and happened when I preordered. My guess is it wouldn't be skin off framework's back / it would be on AMD as it was probably one of the perks given to framework to be the only processor / gpu for the launch. That being said, at least most of us are assuming we would loose most of our deposit to cover starfield if we were to back out, but havent heard any official comment on that. Nor do I want to try, Im excited for the laptop.

If you back out you get the deposit back (well maybe not now!), that’s how most deposits work unless it specifically says it is non-refundable.

Anyway. Also super excited to get the laptop! Can’t wait. I hope I don’t regret giving AMD a chance this time.
