Lol, I knew it was a wise decision not to preoder SC2 sooner. Something was bound to happen to boost the sales. Every game does that nowadays, it's no surprise SC2 is doing it too. But what sucks ass is this deal is US-only (you should put that in the OP btw), and apparently there aren't any gamestops in Belgium LOL. The nearest is in France I think, as far as I could tell from that shitty buggy "store locator" google map thingy. Otherwise, I saw Germany having gamestops, but not Benelux. wtf is up with that?

Besides that, I'm waiting and hoping for amazon.co.uk to have this type of promotion.

edit: I looked at that shitty google mcrap thing, and yeah, no gamestops in Belgium.

Doh, the shipping fee to Sweden is $30, guess I'm better off waiting for the local Gamestop to catch up

I'm so confused right now. If I order 2 CE's, it doesn't give me the option to pick up in the store, but it gives me the 25 percent off. However, if I order any other permutation of items > 100 dollars, it gives the error and will not take 25 percent off.

Now just to determine which shipping to use so I get this game the day it comes out.

25% off worked for me:

Pre order of SC2 Collectors Edition
Pre order of SSF4 Xbox 360
25% off
=
SSF4 for $5 :D (since I was going to pay $100 for the collectors anyways)

Wow, thanks for the heads up. Impulsively pre-ordered. In fact, too impulsively to realize I could have grabbed the collectors edition for like $10 more with the 25% off promotion. I hope this is legit. Having trouble focusing on work, now... arrrgh.

If someone actually gets their key either from in store or online, please tell us. Like is it the key really printed on the receipt or does it really take 1 business day. Thank you.

Wow that 25% off coupon is awesome...if I saw it earlier =( I'm still hoping that they'll actually send a beta key. No responses so far.

I sure did not see this coming . . .

This will probably make a lot of people happy!

Only question now is how much longer will Beta last?

I figured out why it wasn't giving me the 25 percent off. You have to order it and have it delivered to your house via mail rather than an in store pickup. The in store pickup is not considered an online buy even though you do it thru the web interface. XD

Pre-ordered 2 SC2's!!! WOOO time to wait for the key! (I hope I don't get it before 3pm..I have to study for a test..haha)

I bought 2 online and the 25% off promo did not work for me either. I choose in store pickup.

I waited 24 hours. Went to my local Gamestop. They gave me two beta keys but had to put each one on a separate receipt. My beta; it's downloading now. I have already called in sick for tomorrow.

As I play over the next 72 hours I will try to stay hydrated. I have a timer (that goes ping!) every 15 minutes to remind me to get up and walk around so I don't develop blood clots in my legs. I have also laid in a supply of Doritos and Bear Semen.

I just want to thank Dustin Browder for giving me this little bit of happiness in my life.

And I know I join my brothers (and sisters) in this 21 flailing nerd arm salute.

My life for Aiur!!!

Ordered, and I even threw in a copy of Oblivion so I could qualify for the 25OFF. Good find, OP. Maybe once I get this key I can stop killing myself trying to get one through contests and go back to contributing. :D
