If I preorder online and don't get the code when I go to the store, I can cancel the preorder right?

^ I don't see why they would force a pre-order on you. Unless the website says you have some absurd binding contract to the purchase... but on an item under 100 dollars (and even the CE...) I don't see how you can get tied to this.


Please everyone post where you were at and your results of the beta key hunt IRL.

Thanks.

Well, on the site, it states:
"Once you receive your Beta Code your order cannot be canceled."

So I would think that, if you don't get the beta key, then you're not bound into any agreement to cancel. Now, if it just stated, "Preorders cannot be canceled", then I would state you wouldn't be able to cancel it, however, it states exactly there that you cannot cancel, ONLY once you receive the key.

Take it for what it's worth, I'm heading to bed. See you all in Beta tomorrow! No more scavenger hunts and riddles! (I'll still be on these forums, they are helpful)

Was hesitant at first, but then I figured I'm going to buy this when it comes out anyway, so I pulled the trigger and preordered online. We'll see tomorrow I guess. I hope Blizzard is getting something out of this,.

Do you know if these will still apply to my preorder made on 12/02/08? I made it online, and I'm really hoping I won't be excluded just because I preordered before this was announced.

You can get a beta key within "one business day" if you order online. I just went for it, I'll keep you guys posted.

post in this thread if you actually get the key emailed to you tomorrow.... I really hope this works :D

EDIT: also does anyone know if you can use your account on two different SC2 beta clients (not simultaneously obvi)

what i mean is could I play on my bootcamp Windows for now and switch over to the Mac client next week?

The keys are not tied directly to the client or the choice of download, so yes.

And like you said.. obviously not at the same time.

The client is just used to access the gateway to battle.net. The means they supply you to access their content would be the client, tied to the cd-key, tied to your bnet account. If there are two different ways to access it (mac and pc client,) it shouldn't be an issue going back and forth.

So if I preorder from gamestop and get it shipped, will the copy arrive the day of release or 3 days after release?

Most likely 3 days after release, it won't ship before the release date.

Ah, that sucks.

Also, the collectors edition doesn't have in-store pickup D:

EDIT: Got my regular edition with in-store pickup. I'll let you know if the in-store pickup thing is still eligible for beta keys.
