I wish I can just take my online preorder to a local gamestop and get the key.


Me too, although a 300 meter walk is a little much for me.

I just went to the store I pre-ordered it from and they are simply printed on your receipt. So those of you not wanting to risk not getting an e-mail relatively soon, I'd highly recommend just going to a store. Downloading the Beta right now!!!! So happy lol
All I can hear are thousands of children screaming imbalance.......

You can't get the 25% off by doing in-store purchase though, correct?

Just visited my local gamestop right when it opened. Preordered for $10 and got the beta key printed right on the receipt!!! He also mentioned he was going to call everyone who reserved early and let them know they could come in and get a key.

Now I gotta wait 6 hours... stupid thing called a job..

I ordered 2 CE's online with 25% off. $163 with tax. Free 5-10 day shipping.
I'm going to the store after work and preordering 2 more CEs. Hopefully can get 2 beta keys from the store too!

Did you have to give your credit card too, or did you just give him 5 dollars cash. The reason I'm asking is, maybe I should just go and put 5 bucks cash for a beta key and try to sell it. O.o

can you get 25% off by ordering in-store?

What are you going to do with 4 CEs?

I'm getting the feeling that sc2 release is so close by how blizzard is just throwing beta keys around. TL gets 500+. Facebook giving away 50 a day. And now Gamestop gives you one with a pre-order. Feels like blizzard is starting the stress test on the bnet2 servers.


this could also mean beta is coming to an end, thats why they are throwing them out. which is good regardless.

just placed my order, and the only thing I worry about is the actual shipping of the game by gamestop. when my gf ordered the SC2 mousepad in august, it took 4 month to get to me lol...

Do you remember previous Blizzard games betas (maybe WC3?) Did they continue the beta very close to release or was there a large downtime?

Tax is calculated after the discount.


So I'm assuming no? You won't get a $75 CE?

I just ordered it, and the 25% off worked (it didnt show up until I saw the payment options). 34$ mail fee sucks, but the game is 50$ cheaper than here so....




SEND ME THE KEY ALREADY!!!!!



Where do you live? What I'm looking at is free 3-day shipping

my free shipping option was 5-10 days, i think the 3 day shipping promo wasn't appearing because the 25% off says it wasn't to be combined with any other promos..?

Anyone get 25% off and 3day free shipping in the US?


I didn't pay attention at first, so I did the 5 day shipping one too for my CE + 25OFF order. Then I after I noticed it, I just called them to change that to the 3-day, no problem there.

If you go by how long WOW's beta was, SC2 beta should close near October.

WC3 beta servers were online right up until the game was released.
