If it wasn't so late here in Ontario, I'd be making calls with credit card ready right now!
Might give it a go in the AM.

Copied it from the Reddit discussion for you all:

http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=65548

Looks like it isnt in Australia (yet) and if someone wanted to preorder one for the beta key for me (then cancel it or put a fake name or something), I will gladly Paypal you the cost of the preorder plus a bonus for your troubles

Just pre-ordered mine via this link. Noticed the "Free 3 day shipping" was not applied at checkout, will have to follow up with them about that. There was only one shipping method available ($13.99 which killls me to pay, but....chance at a beta key.....) which I selected, just a heads up for you guys who might try this too.

Says I will get an email within 24 hours if I get a beta key, based on supplies.
Sounds to me like this will get them ALOT of pre-orders, and who knows how many beta keys they actually have. Oh well, beats F5-ing TL for now, waiting for another contests!

Like I've always said, money gets shit done! (maybe)

I hate EBgames/gamestop, especially in canada, since they overcharge, among other things.

gamestop.com had SC2 pre-order for 50$, while the Canadian site had it for 70$. This is when the Canadian dollar was on par or above the US dollar.

I also called a local store, and they said when you pre-order you don't have to pay more, regardless of whether the pre-order cost increases, or if the pre-order price decreases - problem is I think I read on their website that if the pre-order price goes up, you will have to pay more.

Now if they are offering a beta key though, I'm not sure if I can resist.

I got ya, and I'd kind of like the CE, could always cancel this one if I don't get a key, or upgrade it maybe. Anything for a key! (sad, in that glorious nerdy kind of way)

250? Must be retailing higher in Aus than here in CAN or US. You Aussies get the shaft on consumer goods even worse than us Canucks!

Amen to that, especially when you consider the time saved looking for a key!

Thanks for the info OP, I went down earlier today and pre-ordered, got the first Key they had!
He didn't have a definite date or cost but expected around 120 after tax(CAN) for the CE.

The good thing about EB Games is you can put an initial pre-order down for as low as $5.

$5 dollar Beta Key people(although I put down 50).
