Same. Always had one, but pre-ordered this back in febuary, so i gave my brother the Key i got, then switched my pre-order to the collectors.
Funny part: you COULD cancel the pre-order and get the key free technically.

The CE from both stores are sold out, that's why you can't select it.
Didn't realize you could sell out a pre-order.
I feel like FutureShop could simply order the amount preordered + a set amount of copies to have in stock
That would maximize profit margins

edit: oh gawd do they not ship US T_T

Because it doesn't average those four numbers. Users rate in 5 categories, each of which is listed as the overall average.

Can you actually pre-order, get the key, and then cancel the order? For some reason I doubt they'll be that loose with a title like Starcraft 2.

I called futureshop customer service since i pre-ordered weeks ago and got a verification email and no beta key, and the chap told me they were having issues and that the beta keys would be sent with the game...I hope this was a misunderstanding.
|
futureshop.ca has a 10% discount right now for sc2, 53.99+tax: includes sc2, free shipping and beta key, just bought this...ill update later to say how fast i recieve the beta key
|
Hm can't pre order in store so I'm out of luck for a beta key since I went to eb games the day after the hype train happened and they where out(2 locations in the area no keys)
|
Will it actually ship and arrive on release day? I don't want to wait for SC2 when I could just pick it up at the store on the release date.

Sure hope so since that would be a scam to give beta keys you can't use.

Hey did you follow up on your problem? It seems like they've ran out of keys and is using this lure more buyers and hope they will just forget about the beta key.

This is the conversation someone who just called the BB CSR about this beta key deal.
nite4evr LOL just called 1-866-BESTBUY
ME: "Hi I called on Saturday before placing my order online asking when I'll be receiving my beta key if i were to order it on Saturday. I was told I would be receiving it on Monday morning by e-mail. Do you think you can tell me the status of the my beta key? Product is a computer game called Starcraft II Wings of Liberty"
CSR: "May I please have your Order #"
ME: "XXXXXXX"
CSR: "You'll be getting it 1 day after the release date, 1 day after July 31st. "
ME: "You're kidding right?"
CSR: "Sir you'll be getting it 1 day after the release date"
ME: "What's the point of the beta key when I have the released item? Do you know what's a beta key? Do you understand what I'm saying?"
CSR: "Placed me on hold, comes back 5 minutes later. "I just asked a few people around me, and I was told you'll be getting the beta key 1 day after the release date. From the look of the information on the website, since you placed the order on Saturday if you don't receive it today you'll have to wait till a day after the release date"
ME: "A Beta version is a software product that is used in the final stage of testing before it is commercially released. There's no reason for me to have a beta key once the product it out."
CSR: "Is there anything else I can help you with today?"
ME: "Sigh, you're wasting my time.... Bye"

There is probably a limit of one or two per household, also you can only tie one SC2 key per Bnet account, so you need a secondary account if you plan to have two keys for some reason. Of course if you are do not need the key for some reason then you are not forced to tie it to an account until it reaches whoever is going to use it.

Oh BB support, its always quite amusing to me. Their hiring process focuses on getting people who are good at customer service, but yet overlooks what they know - about anything. 'You'll be getting it 1 day after release' Lmfao.. The beta CLOSES a month before release, at least a month. I'd recommend going to the store in person with your order #, perhaps a print-out of the order confirmation etc. etc. and make sure you talk to a manager or someone who will actually listen to what you have to say instead of reading pre-listed responses.

So did futureshop really run out of beta keys? is there anybody who pre-ordered have a confirmation
|
I pre-ordered Friday night as soon as I saw this thread. Haven't received my key yet. I e-mailed them yesterday and they said the same thing it says on the website, wait one business day.
|
If you don't get it by tomorrow morning, make sure heads start rolling at Futureshop This is starting to sound like a scam to me =p
