On the Gamestop site it says if you select that option to allow 24 hours before going to your store to get the key. | ||

I just drove up to EB Games. I was so excited. I was like a little kid on Christmas morning. I couldnt contain my excitement. I asked the lady behind the counter if the beta key deal was real. She says "Yes...... but I just sold the last one", as she points to the guy walking out the front of the store. FUCK MY LIFE. edit: I guess I can just call my parents up and ask to use their credit card since I dont have one, but that is a hassle since I have to get the money back to them. | ||

Ya, I will have to locate a credit card asap. edit: Actually, fuck that. They want me to pay an additional 19.99 for shipping, and I wont be able to get the game in my hands the moment it goes on sale. No thanks. | ||

No thanks. use the code 'saver' to not have to pay shipping... or pick 'in-store pickup' that way you get it day of release too | ||

I will go try now. edit: Lame, everything costs $10 more in Canada even though our dollar is at par with the American dollar. edit: Still no option for in store pickup. None of those codes work on the Canadian website. Either I have to wait up to 10 days for the game after the release date, or I have to wait up to 3 days and pay an extra $9. Neither of those are appealing options. Back to the beta contests I go. | ||

I ordered online, and selected to have it shipped to my "local" gamestop back at home, because a month from now I'll be back home, and that would be the easiest way for me to pick it up. Now I see that I have to go in-store to get my key if I'm selecting this option? I'm currently at University about 200 miles away from home. So how can I cancel this order and/or get the key sent to my email? I'll probably call the store at home tomorrow morning, and see what they can do, but does anyone have any other advice? | ||

Many people reported getting free 3-day shipping, but those people didn't enter the 25OFF code. | ||

I am exactly in the same boat if someone would verify that they got a email key when they ordered online and chose to ship it to a "local" gamestop that would be great. Edit: You can preorder StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty online and receive your code through email; preorder the game for in-store pick-up, wait 24 hours, and then go to the store for your code; or preorder the game at the store itself, with the code printed out on your receipt.

I'm in the same boat. I thought when we "ordered online" and shipped it to the store that we would get a key through email. I shipped it to the store so I can get it the first day it'd come out. I already have a key but I have a list of people I was trying to get keys for so getting the beta key is a nice bonus to reserving a copy. | ||
