I'm going to Gamestop after classes are over, I only need to put $5 down at the store correct, and not full price? I can't afford full price right now.

Hi, my first ever post. I have been playing SC/BW since day 1. I've broken and rebought the CD several times over the years due to addiction issues. I was one of the first few raters on Battlereports.com years ago, and would have been willing to pay big money on ebay for a key but wasn't sure if it would work on my equally old school computer. But for $5 I just ran out to Gamestop at lunch and now have to sit it at work until 5 p.m. or so until I can go home and try it.

How exciting. I've been reading TL for a while now, and thought this would be a great reason to start posting to tell people about the $5 beta keys, but many have already beaten me to the punch. Talk to you soon.
Really....old....school

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.

$10 for CE I believe

they changed it from 5-10 to 3 even though the 25% off promo says its not to be combined w/ other promos?

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

I'm going to the store after work and preordering 2 more CEs. Hopefully can get 2 beta keys from the store too!

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

What are you going to do with 4 CEs?


I believe the online discount only applies if you order online. Also it's limit 2 per household or whatever, so I'm going to ship two to my house to sell later and buy two at the store in person for me and my gf to use. In fact, I think I'm going to go during lunch instead of after work to make sure they don't run out of beta keys lol.

if you go with warcraft 3's beta, SC2 beta should last for a few more months.

But saying SC2 beta will last until October is a long stretch. I doubt it will last that long, simply because balancing/tweaking an Mmo for release seems more difficult than a RTS.

Considering WoW was blizzards first mmo, I'd imagine they'd make sure it was extra polished; especially if consumers are paying monthly for it. SC2 isn't Blizz's first RTS so the tweaking phase shouldn't take as long.

how much do ppl expect CE's to sell for? are they really that rare once the game is released? i assume youre going to sell through ebay?

Oh, I guess they've changed it now or maybe it was just an error on their part. I remember when I tested it before you could get the 3-day one. Or maybe since I called them to change it, they didn't really bother checking it carefully or something and just did it.

Confirming that I got a key pre-ordering in-store, only $5 down. Printed out on the receipt. Just drove home and added it to my bnet account!

No more inane FB contests! No more searching through that terrible CVG site! Hooray!

Do they have boxes there or so, or do you just walk up to the counter declaring that you'd like to preorder?
