Oh and if you hate the beta just dont pick up your copy when it comes in, sounds like a win win - $5 for a couple months of gaming, decent.

So who wants to get beat first? ...after I finish my final exams at university 
umm wtf I pre-order two copy a couple of weeks ago and didn't get anything... I am calling up game stop right now.
EDIT!
Just called and I am getting 2 more keys tonight, the Gamestop rep said they will start emailingthem out at 11 CST tonight!

But they have them if you stop in and pre-order? Don't want to wait until 11
I just talked to a Gamestop rep, who said keys will start being emailed out from Gamestop at 11PM CST. I pre-order 2 Collectors edition back on 4/9. He said that as long as my pre-order was still open or processing (which it is) that I would be eligible for the keys.
However my pre-order is for 182.57 and with the new 25% off code I could get em $171, but it seems I can cancel my pre-order anymore and I haven't even received my keys...

Free three-day shipping for online orders on top of the beta key...so unless you have to have it THAT %#&^&! DAY you don't have to soil your shoes by setting foot inside a Gamestop. For me, bonus. (EDIT: of course, now that I went and ordered the CE, I fully expect it to be delayed ad infinitum for some supply-related reason...but hey.)

Thanks!!!
Given Activision-Blizzard's recent track record though........
"Blizzard has announced release date of May 31 and beta servers will be going down April 25!"
I wouldn't be suprised if something like this happened. Still, preordering a game that I was going to buy anyway does me no harm. I'll pick one up on the way home tonight!

Beta access sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Gamestop is gonna get a ton of pre-orders off this deal.
Did I miss something in the fine print? I didn't know these dates had been released.

Last I knew they hadn't, buuuut BotD's point was that it would be typically Murphy if something like that happened in the next...oh, thirty-six hours? (And I just jinxed it.)

On a related note, I guess it's time to preorder a collector's edition.

It's just 25OFF
This is 25% off of $100 or less, so you need a filler and that usually adds about $5 handling charge... Fatwallet has 3% cashback as well.
Well if you pre-order something else, you'll probably avoid the handling charge.

Ah, they beat me to the code. I'm still debating whether or not to try to find some cheap filler for this (and probably jump through hoops canceling my existing order).

omg its true! i just called gamestop and they said if you pre-order it puts the code on your receipt. im going at lunch.
Also the guy said he was calling people that already pre-ordered it so they can get their codes

Now if you go online and order to pick up in store, do you still get the 25% off online ordering with in store pickup AND get the beta code e-mailed to you? I am going to order 2 copies of the CE. I prefer to do in store but 25% is a good discount for the online portion. (Sorry if I seem totally confused on something that may be very simple.)
