It's pretty much open beta by now anyway. Everyone who wants a key can get one for nothing, and the "friend invites" are so abundant now. They come two per email from blizzard.

None of my friends have beta, and I don't have the ability to set up a pre-order and cancel it.

Open Beta, right?

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.

just a general advice to OP for his consequences.

how is it not douche to just unban me to make a honest purchase again?
its not like i cant get a different credit card, change address or go to another online retailer or local GS.
dont want to go any further.

Someone at gamestop is messing up hardcore, it might even just be the person behind the counter.
But I remember someone from Blizzard saying that once you preorder, you can NOT cancel.

(Or at least shouldn't be able to.) O.o

I don't know the details of your situation but they way you present your case makes it seem like you genuinely violated one of gamestop's rules (whatever it is).

Gamestop sucks though.

Just to clarify, I'm not the same guy who posted on the first page of this thread calling GS douches for blacklisting -- my credit card was never banned because I used multiple cards and different addresses.

On your question, if you really want it that badly, go to a GS location near you and pre-order it in person with cash to a different address. Not really rocket science buddy.

Haha, this isn't a bad thing at all, it's pretty much open beta already. Look at teamliquid giving away keys.
I can only play starcraft when I am shit canned. IPXZERG is a god.

Yeah, because you've never spent ten minutes of your time doing something worthless either, right?

You dont need beta to work with galaxy editor. Just google starcraft 2 download, install and download patches, no crack needed. Worked for me. You can also try the map without beta key.

This would be cool except for the fact that beta is all but open. It's so easy to get a key that you are just wasting your own time.

Are there really that many people who want into beta and have no intention of buying the actual game? Why do you need to cancel at all? Just preorder, and buy the game. You obviously have interest in SC2, aren't you going to buy the game anyway?

If you wanted a key, outstretch your arm and take one. If you're not willing to put forth any minimal effort to get one I don't see why you need to complain. WoW players have been selling the things on ebay since 2007, major chains all across the country give them away for just buying SC2, and there are multiple friend invites given to each player. Take your pick.

All of a sudden the size of your cock is directly proportional to the amount of beta keys you possess.

Bragging over having 10 vacant beta keys huh?

Well thanks for abusing the system now when they crack down and make it harder for future games to get even one key, we can come back to this thread and say, 'It's douchebags like this that ruined it for us all,' well done.

You're right, you are

if you are tenpromicro on SC2, then you definitely unpaused a game before I got when I was only gone for a minute; mind you that doesnt matter, you unpaused literally 10 seconds after.
