I ordered two( one for myself and for my brother) Starcraft 2 exactly a month ago, from Futureshop. Their website promised that I would received a beta key upon preorder. I could care less about the key, because I already had 2 of them ( one of my brother ). But I also wanted to play on EU server, so I kept emailing futureshop, saying that I did not receive my beta keys yet, and beta would be ending soon.

I just got back from the gym, checked my email, and this is what I received:

Dear Customer:
Thanks for placing a pre-order for StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. As part of our pre-order promotion we were offering a beta key. We're very sorry, but we were unable to get this code to you in time to participate in the beta.
In order to make this up to you we'll be discounting your pre-order of StarCraft II so you'll save 50%. This will be reflected on your credit card when your order ships.
We appreciate you taking advantage of our web store opportunities and we'll do our best to avoid any similar issues in the future.
Thank you for shopping at futureshop.ca and we hope to see you again soon.

Sincerely,

Futureshop.ca


Like...this is way better than beta keys! woot! Not only will I be receiving 50% off, but the reason I preordered is that it was on sale + free shipping! :D

It's for all the people who ordered while they had beta key promotion. I ordered it on May 12th and got 50% discount for not receiving a beta key.

Since the beta key promotion is over, you won't get that discount if you order now.
