There were 8 to begin with at the Guelph, ON store by Clair Road. I bought two...
There's 2 more stores around town that might have more as well.

I was the first into the Ajax, Ontario store this morning, and they had 10 keys on a printed sheet. They wouldn't let me get more than one key for pre-ordering more copies . Also, I took the key they gave me to battle.net and it tells me it's invalid

edit: Does anybody know if you get a different error if someone has used your key than if the key is just wrong? I just get an "invalid key" error.

Apparently the EB at Conestoga mall @ Waterloo doesn't have keys, they're saying only US branches have them. I bet those guys just kept the keys they got for themselves =P

I posted this in the other thread about US pre-order keys because I didnt see this one but here it is again for Canadians:

Just posting to let you guys know that the EBGames at the Harmony Road Plaza in Oshawa, Ontario gave me a sheet of paper with ten (10!) beta keys on it for a preorder. He said I was the first person to come in since they got them so they still probably have more.

-Unfortunately I intend to pass these keys along to my friends, so just in-advance saying I cant pass them out to you guys

-I realize my credibility is essentially zero due to my post count but this is not a lie, and if you live in this area and don't believe me then it's your loss I suppose

As an extra note, I've used three of them for myself/friends so far and all three have worked.

I too called conestoga mall this morning with the same result (I go to WLU), hopefully they'll still have some available in the GTA when I head back after exams on Friday, but I doubt this is going to be the case. In the mean time, I have messaged a few people who are back to go pick a couple up, but no responses yet Gl with your hunt!

Just got two keys from the Southcentre Gamestop in Calgary, AB. Looks like they still have 10+. I ordered the preorders through different phone numbers so if they won't let you get more than one key for one person try that.

You have to use the "Add or Upgrade a Game" tab instead of the "Item Code Redemption" tab. It should work then!

So I went to EB today and pre-ordered the Collectors Edition. The lady there asks me... "Do you want a beta key?" So obviously I say "sure" I accidentally threw in that I already had one and would probably give it to a friend and she was like "well they should come pre-order it too then" and I was like wtf? Not being in the mood to argue, I was just like whatever and walked out.

But what kind of BS is that?
