Hm I just called a Game Stop nearby, and the girl working there said that she hadn't heard about it, but if there was such a promotion they would send an email after you preorder.

I thought this would be against the Terms of services... It's obvious that they're using the beta keys to generate lots and lots of revenue for their business they otherwise wouldnt get :o


Obviously you are unfamiliar with how GS does business.

I just ran over to my gamestop nearby after I heard about it on the FFA stream. I asked and they didnt have any(USA). They said they didnt get the preorder stuff yet, but that someone else had called about it. And that they figured it would happen when they got preorder stuff.

Ok, I called the EB Games at the Eaton Centre in Toronto. They confirmed it. Similar to the Spadina store, however, they said that they had enough keys to cover current preorders only. So, he explained that if you pre-order tomorrow, you would not get a key immediately, but would have to wait until the next batch.

I am in Calgary, AB, Canada, and just called the EB games at Market Mall (some mall in my city). They said that NO they don't give out keys on pre-orders

I called 3 Gamestops near me in Maryland and not a single person had any idea what I was talking about. The best answer i got was call back later to talk to my manager

Nevermind, just called ebgames here in quebec and the guy confirmed it, but he said the priority was to the people was had already pre-ordered, and that all the keys were already gone.

He told me to call him tomorrow because maybe they will receive more over time.
Oh hullo.

On the bright side this suggests the possibility that Blizzard may have plans to roll out beta keys to preorders everywhere else as well.

Confirmed, downloading now. $5 and a fake name and phone number gets you a key.

Not as many as you would think, they still had tons left where I went because I don't they had much of a pre order list at all.
