Sup TL nerds.. I'm not gonna lie.. I'm a douchebag in real life. It transfers over to the StarCraft world also. I BM when I lose when I shouldn't, I look look for bugs and loopholes and exploit them, etc.

I just found a huge glitch with the GameStop betakey giveaway system.

I just got 10 keys in the past week for ordering and cancelling. No charge to your card either because it's an unreleased item.

I first found this glitch out when I needed to change my shipping address for my SC2:CE order and GameStop told me that I had to cancel my order in order to change my shipping address because there was no way to change it without canceling. When I canceled and re-ordered, I received another betakey.

Anyways, happy abuse nerds!

Mind sharing one of those 10? >.>

This abuse has been pointed out with Swedish websites, as well. I don't recommend, however, as it's morally unjust

Gamestop are douches, once they find out you taking advantage of their system, you will be added to their black list, after that they will cancel your order on anything including pre-orders. (anything purchased thru gamestop.com)
both my visa cards and home address are blocked. I tried many combination with it even with new account, they wont process my order.

$5 is like a down payment to pre-order. Not a deposit you can't get back.
But at what cost?

Wait, you take advantage of their system and they're the douches for black listing you? I agree gamestop sucks but I don't think your story is the way to convince people of it.
