Oh and they were even out of beta keys so... cancel the preorder, lose your $5 deposit, and order from BB or FS which is $10 cheaper, and give $5 discount. so $15 savings, offset by $5 deposit, you still save $10. | ||

Some of the items in your shopping cart are not available for shipment. Please remove these items and create a separate order for them, or check to see it the product is available for pick up in-store. (0107) It's a pre-order item, of course it's not yet available! >_< And I only have 1 item in the shopping cart: StarCraft II Collector's Edition (PC/Mac) | ||

The shocker is though... These keys wont work until May 17th! Aparently Blizzard wont activate them until May 17! I've had 2 emails about this now, because my first response was that they shouldnt have said you get a key in one day if it wont work for weeks... So basically, the FS (and probably BB) key giveaways are shit and activate in a month. | ||

Too lazy :p Also, I put all the money down for it already so don't know if I could get any of that refunded anyways. | ||

License Information License Status BETA Expiry Active until beta closes Thats my BB key status seemed to activate instantly. Hopefully FS key isn't like what you have heard. | ||

Let them know that you placed the pre-order with BB because they guaranteed you a beta key that would enable you to take part in Beta. If you cannot take part in Beta, then BB has advertised falsely and you are well within your rights to get a full refund on a falsely advertised product. | ||

I think if you go to the store on release day and wait in line if they open sales at midnight you can still get yourself a collectors edition. I am hoping its similar to how FS sold the last WoW expansion with collectors editions at each store on opening day. | ||

Update: My order just got processed (pretty fast, I placed the order an hour ago). Their website says: "We will email you a StarCraft II beta key to the email address associated with your account the next business day after your order is processed." So, hopefully tomorrow. | ||
