(I got mine for $150 last year, since BlizzCon '09 screwed everyone over oO) EDIT: + Show Spoiler + On February 14 2010 08:34 DeCoup wrote: 20,000 people received keys last year at blizzcon, and there have been heaps of other key give-aways. And Blizzard have still said that as well as this there will be many opt in players from the start of beta. I wonder how many players they intend to start beta with.

Only Grunty the Murloc pets for WoW... WOW! 2008 is when they gave out the keys. I read somewhere the other day that they gave out 12K beta keys at blizzcon but there were also conventions in other parts of the world (Russia, Korea, Germany, etc) +opt-ins, contests, etc... I'd say well over 100,000 people will be participating in beta. Just a guess tho.

I just had to cash out for a new PC so I can participate in beta. It was long overdue but beta was just the final straw that forced me to upgrade! Pricey but I think it'll worth it in the long run. ^^ | ||

While I would love to be in beta I don't think it's worth it to spend that much money to play in it. The game will probably be out in 4-6 months anyways. If you pay more than $90 that's more than a WoW subscription, $200-$400 and you're looking at what's effectively a short term utility that will later be more or less free....

They released the minimum requirements for beta just awhile back and, heck, my 4 year old economy laptop can probably run SC2 somewhat comfortably. Sure, it won't be the prettiest, but by no means am I "forced" to upgrade. | ||

I've been wanting a new pc anyway. Oh and I bought my key for $150. Registered it. Seems to be ok. I mean PayPal guarantees your money back... So if you can afford it and willing to cash out - get it! If not - wait for the game! | ||
