I heard for the beta the keys are generic and the region is assigned based on which battle.net region you log in to i.e if you register at kr.battle.net instead of the US one you join the Korean server. If the same system applies to the actual product that everyone's ordering, then it makes sense for us non-Americans to pre-order it... but if we're going to be stuck playing on the US servers then it might make sense to wait (as agonizing as it is to not have a beta key.) the problem is if u preorder it from US, ur essentially paying for shipping to Signapore. Like im from Canada i tried gamestop.ca they didnt have anymore Beta keys, but gamestop.com (US) did, so i swallowed the $15 shipping cost and preordered it. So in the end its gonna cost me $80 total for the game with a beta key, but the difference is in the US it sells for 59.99 in Canada its gonna sell for $10 more @ 69.99. so really im only losing a dollar and i gain a beta key in the process. | ||

I am from Germany and just preordered the game. I will see if I do receive my beta key tmrw or not (I sure hope so..  ). I will post here immediately when I have news.Cheers!!! | ||

Even though I live in Germany and the promotion has been going on for a while, Gamestop still seems to throw the keys around. Good luck to everybody!!! | ||

The store is getting beta keys soon for people making preorders. Apparently they can't send it to you, and you'll have to go pick the key up at the store. Preorder fee is 5€ and you'll be called as soon as the key is available. Similar deals should be appearing elsewhere in EU as well (at least sweden and denmark were mentioned a day or couple ago in other topics) | ||

The same deal as in Finland it seams, you have to pre-order in store and collect the key in store too. You can read details here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=121541 | ||

You must have an account on battle.net. Afterwards you go to your account and add your new game. It will ask you then for the code. Beware on which server do you want to play - if you like Europe then you must login from eu.battle.net; if you like US select us.battle.net. Do not rush this. I know you want it badly . Be careful on the server selection  . Once it is binded you cannot change it. | ||

I checked just now and there's nothing about it at UK GAME. I hope they'll sort it out soon - it's like living in the third world in the UK. Everyone else gets beta key preorders before us?? Stores restock on a Thursday here I think, so check after then. | ||

I pre-ordered from amazon.ca and got free shipping, so the total came out to $ 67. It's only been a day of waiting though, so I haven't got a key yet. | ||
