It's possible that Amazon is only giving you some promotional key, and that the trial ends may 17th. doesn't mean blizzard is ready to end beta worldwide. On the other hand, maybe it does. And that would be a good thing O_O | ||

What I'd say is most likely is that Amazon doesn't know any better than the rest of us but they're putting a lot of stock in that 3-5 month timetable that Blizzard committed to upon the beginning of the beta. The 'through' also could mean that it may (lolzpun) continue through May 17th, but at the very least will go until May 17th My guess is that Blizzard really doesn't know when they're ending it. The giant 'sim the release' thing they've said on the beta news page would certainly seem to support the idea that they're going to end the beta somewhere around mid to late next month, but Blizzard is never very good with timetables, and it is completely unreasonable to say that the timetable is set in stone particularly because they are handing out all these keys to simulate a release. If something goes wrong in their simmed release, or something isn't right, or they still need more data, of course they'll put more time into the beta. | ||

Yeah, but also consider shipping costs and consider that the price will most likely drop. But if they give me beta key for a preorder I will buy it even for the high price  Another question would be what language(s) the DVD will contain? I know it's OT, but I want the english version anyway. The German synchro sucks imho. Broodwar was okay in German but War3 and Starcraft2 are a joke in German. | ||

Is this common knowledge and I just missed it somehow? No, they are guessing. Gamestop says the 31st, they are just throwing out random numbers. | ||
