Remember you can pre-order your copy through the TL store and help support Team Liquid! It's also an easy way to get a beta key!

It probably won't be up until the official release. The beta is mainly for balancing 1v1, the other use being for testing the Arcade.

Anyone in Canada get a beta key yet? Would like to know where I can order from to get it. EB doesn't seem to know right now. Seems like no retailer in canada seems to be offering it.

When they first announced the game as three separate parts I budgeted 180 dollars to pay for all three at 60 bucks a pop. Anything lower than that is bonus money I get to keep

Every expansion cost is 40 euro or 40 dollars

I'm also trying to hunt one down in Canada. For WoL Futureshop/Bestbuy did a first come first serve thing and I stood in line at the midnight release. I just got off the phone with EBgames and they said they do preorders for collector's editions and hold the copy for you for 3 days. They also said they would get the SKU to go along with the HotS collector's edition when it was "announced", so I would assume it would be soon. I'm tempted to order from Amazon.com and just pay the ridiculous import fees and extra shipping for peace of mind. I hope someday in the future amazon.ca sells all the good stuff that amazon.com sells.

If you have multiple WoL accounts, will buying the expansion once allow all of your accounts to be HotS ones? Or do we need to buy an expansion for each account we have?

I'm pretty sure you'd have to buy an expansion for each account.

"Beta Access codes will be sent starting on Saturday, November 17, 2012. We will email your code within 2 business days after you place your pre-order"

I really don't get why they can't just offer HotS beta by buying a digital copy on the blizzard website.

I don't even want the box, I just want a digital download and the beta to go with it.


Because Blizzard would rather have Amazon feature HotS on their front page and hype the expansion. It is a good way to market the game. Amazon wants sales and giving them beta keys is a good way to secure them.
If you are buying it from Blizzard, you are already on their site and were going to buy the game anyways. They want to reach the people who are NOT on the SC2 site or TL.


That's actually a good marketing plan.

Lots of people browse Amazon and just look at what kind of new deals are and what stuff there is.

If Amazon gets exclusive beta keys for preorders, then they'll want to hype up the game on their front page (or at least of their PC Games section).

Blizzard gets more advertising for the game, Amazon gets more preorders, win win for both of them.
