Does anyone know how long it takes for the b.net to know you're registered for beta? I activated my account but it still tells that I need to register.

something tells me that open beta is imminent...

Tough to call, with this type of access to closed beta, I wouldn't be surprised if open beta wasn't more than a 5-7 day stress test ending the night before sc2 is released, to be honest.

Why? You ask.

1) So many people are in closed beta that want to be, keys are so accessible now it's absurd. (In the NA region that is.)
2) This closed beta is practically open already.
3) A shorter open beta would allow the masses that are simply considering buying the game to download the game and test it out for a few games just before release drops.
4) Open Beta Stress test comes with no strings attached, not Blizzards problem if the Open Beta isn't stable, and it allows them to quickly test the servers to see if they are prepared for opening night in a short period of time, and can add servers very quickly if there are issues involved.

Just pre-ordered and got a key on the receipt, asked if they knew the release date and was told June 2nd, don't know how accurate that is... 5 bucks for a reserved copy AND beta, good deal.

Btw this was from a gamestop in Northern VA.

Don't fret friend, it's probably right around the corner.

Just live your life as you did before this beta possibility, and you will be so much happier when you take that random email check, and it is safely snuggled into your inbox.

Life is a journey, one game at a time.

Just got my beta key after biking 8 miles round trip to the Waltham gamestop (college = no car). Can somebody tell me where I can download the beta so I can activate my key?

Edit: Nevermind figured it out now. Can't wait to play woooo!

You have to go to battle.net and log in. Afterward, click add or upgrade game, and enter the code.

The instructions were also right on the receipt.

you enter the key first in order to be able to download the client. go into your bnet account and click 'add/manage game' and enter the code, then you will be offered the download and it will be listed as another game on your account

I pre-ordered this morning, and it says my key has already been activated and I clicked add/manage game. Yeah I'm pissed.

Ok now it's telling me when I start the download manager that my download is not authorized even after I put in the code and shit. I'm so confused.
