So I was about to preorder my copy from gamestop, but I got this email from amazon.com:

+ Show Spoiler +
Dear Amazon.com Customer,

The Amazon Video Games team thanks you for your pre-order of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty. Now it's time to get you your pre-order bonus code to participate in the Starcraft II beta.

This huge influx of keys makes it seem like blizzard is moving into the stress-test phase of the beta. Wich means we're a little bit closer to release! I just hope the beta doesn't end may 17, because the only specific release date I've seen is june 28. Doesn't seem like a good idea to have such a huge gap between end of beta and release though.

I have e-mailed amazon in the UK to see if I can get any info on a similar offer for EU Beta. I will share the info with the community when I receive a reply.

"This beta will be available through May 17th"

What does this mean? You will be able to play the beta starting from May 17th OR you will be able to play it until May 17th???

Yeah, I have that open atm, cuz I'm pretty sure it's going into junk if it comes, so I've setup rules to make lots of noises if it comes.

Not sure... I already have a key, giving mine to my friend. I think they're saying it's till the 17th. Hope it's longer than that though...

Blizzard did originally say in their start-of-beta Blizzcast that they were aiming for a 3 month beta, which would put the release date at sometime toward the end of May.

For what it's worth, Gamestop is predicting a release on June 1st.

For those interested this is the response from Amazon.co.uk in terms of an EU beta key with pre-orders.

Dear Customer Thank you for contacting Amazon.co.uk I am sorry for any confusion or misunderstanding caused in this regard. On looking into your enquiry, I understand that you want to know whether the Starcraft 2 Preorder promotion will be available in Amazon.co.uk. Amazon.co.uk Video Games product information pages are the authoritative resources for any current special offers available on video games products sold by Amazon.co.uk. If you have seen a special offer advertised on a video game product sold on another website, possibly even Amazon.com, but do not see the same offer listed on that particular product’s information page on Amazon.co.uk, it means that the special offer is not available when you order the product from Amazon.co.uk. We are always seeking ways to improve the customer experience of shopping on Amazon.co.uk, but we regret we cannot tell customers about any offers that may be available at a future time. Perhaps, I suggest you to check our website from time to time to see if this Promotional offer has been listed in our website. Please note that, if at all the Preorder offer becomes available. Unless the offer is listed in our website and you are eligible for the promotional offer, we do not have an option to send the Code to the customers. I hope you will understand our procedure in this regard. Thank you for your interest in Amazon.co.uk

Needless to say that Amazon.de (Germany) also has no beta keys for pre-orders and that at a cost of 59.95€ ROFL.
