The topic pretty much sums it up. Is it still possible to get a beta key?
I would love to pre-order with an added bonus in a form of a beta key. So if you people have any ideas I would really appreciate it.
EDIT: seems that amazon is still offering beta-access. But only if I buy it for US servers. With US pre-order I won't be able to play in EU, right? :/
|
Prepurchase from battle.net also gives a beta key.
|
I thought that you won't get it through battle.net. Never mind, it says so in the battle.net site :D
|
Well, I was about to pre-purchase from bnet too but then decided to read the comments. People complaining that they are not getting any keys for 4 weeks now... ><
|
Well i just bought mine and the game was added to my account instantly. Seems it was the retail version, I guess I have to wait them to add the beta too. Oh well...
|
Are there any gamestops where you live? That's how I got my key, by preordering the Collectors Edition at gamestop. It was printed out on the receipt and I didnt realize it for two weeks and 2 days right before final exams for the fall semester.

No GameStops here in Lithuania

Are you sure you get one from b.net? I've read that some people have to wait a couple weeks.

amazon didn't send me one for 2 days then I canceled it
|
If I order a digital copy from blizzard. Do I get beta key?
|
I'm also interested in knowing if they're still giving beta key with preorder
|
Order a copy from amazon, you get a free beta key when you pre-order it.
I received it pretty much instantly.
Edit: This was way back in early november though, so I'm not sure if they're still doing this.
|
I preordered yesterday, and had access to beta immediately.
|
Something obviously went wrong with the beta keys from pre-ordering from Blizzard. Some people get instant access while others are still waiting from late december.
I told my friend he could get a key pre-ordering from blizz and he still doesn't have access, is pretty salty with me.
|
If you pre-order via battle.net they don't email you or even notify you have BETA access, just add HotS on your account.
However, I downloaded the Beta and logged in and it worked. Not sure if it's instantaneous or not, I tried a few days after.
I would assume those who commented thought they'd receive an email (like me)
|
I tried it 1 hours after and it worked the same way you described.
|
I am pretty certain that Gamestop is selling preorders and give you an access code instantly on the receipt. I would call and confirm this in your area, but I know the minimum deposit is $5.
|
Gamestop's minimum deposit for Collector's Edition is 25 dollars.

Gamestop is from the US right? This guy is from Lithuania, he needs EU.

I just pre order on Bnet, try to connect on the beta right after (the beta was already installed ^^) it work instantly
|
Pardon me for asking but does anyone have a beta key I can get for free??
Wouldn't like to preorder and then cancel to get it. So just checking
|
If you pre-order through battle.net then you get it. You don't need the email to activate. Just download the beta client & you have access if you use the log in email that's linked to battle.net.

Hi
I got a beta key from Game and i got the key at check out just a few days ago. The are UK based, so maybe this will help
|
I just got mine from pre-purchase
|
preordrer the game and you should get one.
|
Asked a couple of friends to pre-order the game via Battle.net so they could get access to the beta. It seems as though they have a copy of the retail game but they didn't receive any beta key. Is it possible that Blizzard sends the key later or do you just have to go ahead and download the game client from the retail version?
|
It worked for me. I have two beta accounts on my b.net account.
|

|
Just got one from amazon yesterday. So still works
