I saw some previous threads about rumors, but it's been officially posted on the GameStop webpages that they will be giving beta keys to people who are pre-ordering the game. You can get it online and they'll email it to you, go in-store and it'll be on your receipt, or pick everyone's favorite in-store pickup and you'd go in to the store to get one.
If you haven't figured out already, pre-order the game, but if you don't want it later on or just want a beta key, opt-out of the final purchase. My personal favorite method is to pre-order, then wait out for a better deal while getting all the pre-order perks, and return the new order when it comes in to get everything at the lowest price.
Edit: Looks like you can't cancel after getting the key...
BUT. Before you guys pre-order, if you and a friend are both interested in the deal, use the code 25OFF, which is good for 25% off the order if over 100. Sorry to anyone who didn't get to use it beforehand, I didn't either =(
Just want to also note the coupon code is for the total order, SC2 or not. Works for both collector's and Non-collector's edition.

Done. Waiting for the key.
|
what???
can i get a key right now if i buy the game?
hey leejas, it says in gamestop that once you get your beta, you cannot cancel your pre order.
|
Here is the exact text:
Reserve StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty and receive an invitation to the StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty beta. Available online and in-store while supplies last. Once you recieve your Beta Code your order cannot be canceled.
Online Customers (web delivery): A code and instructions on how to join the beta will be emailed within 1 business day of when your order was placed.
In-Store Pickup Customers: Please wait 24 hours after your order is placed, then proceed to your store to pick up your beta code.
Store Customers: A beta code will be printed on your pre-order receipt.

Beat me too it. Notice the part about you cant cancel once you've gotten the beta key?
|
I figured I will be buying SC2 anyway... might as well get into the beta for the price of the game.
|
Yeah would do the same if I didnt live in EU and the international shipping fee 
|
Available online and in-store while supplies last.
If they were supplied a limited number of keys, and they don't have anymore, because they warned you, you are just screwed. Make sure there some keys left before you buy

Is this being done with the collector's edition of the game as well?
|
I already order the CE las week. I hope the give out keys to people that preordered early.

You aren't quite screwed because if you don't get a key, you can still cancel your pre-order. Kind of silly saying you can't cancel your pre-order if they didn't give you real hard incentive to do so (IE: Giving you a key).

Pre-ordered
I hope they ship before the actual release date. I don't want the game 3 days after everyone starts playing T_T
|
I am going to look for an EU version offering the same... will report back... Work is slow
|
Do we have to do anything special for the beta key (i.e. promotion code) or are we just going to be sent it? I'm pretty sure the latter, just want to be sure.

I preordered it on Amazon as well. Oh well, I already have a key.
|
I think they are just going to send it... probably sometime in the next 12 hours (due to US business hours).
