I just want to know if it is too late to preorder starcraft 2 and GET THE BETA KEY!!!

If it's too late, I will just buy it when the game will release.

Please, tell me if it's too late, and if possible, tell me if we can know if there are any beta keys left.

Another question, can we preorder in quebec or no?

Last question, is the one day beta key email send is real or we have to wait longer? I heard some rumor about people waiting for weeks...

Thank you

According to FS website, you have until the 10th of may to order it and receive the beta key. If you're going to buy it anyways, I recommend preordering it even if you don't get the key since FS seems to offers a 5$ rebate for preorder.

Will you get the key next day..Good question. I ordered my copy a Sunday (non business day) and received the key 3 days later. To answer your last question, I'm a Quebec resident so yes, there's no problem for that part. And BTW, the game is just amazing, I've had the BETA since late February (one of the lucky few) and never stop playing ever since. Amazing game.

Thank you, perfect answer !!

Last question : you received beta by email (internet) or by thr mail post?

By e-mail, be sure to look or even disable your spam filter. Some people got their keys blocked as spam.

Does anyone know if the beta actually ends on the 10th?

I ordered it on the 4th and I have yet to receive the beta key. It's been 2 business days (they said within 2 business days), and I'd be willing to wait longer, but I don't want to wait until Monday if the beta actually ends on Monday.

The beta is supposed to go on until the game finally launch on the 27th of July. Maybe they'll end it a little before that to do a full reset of the bnet servers but other than that, you don't have to worry, you'll be able to play the beta until you actually get the real deal.

I'm wondering, does the email come from Blizzard or from Futureshop? This morning I had an email inviting me to the beta but there is no beta key! The email is from Blizzard though so I'm thinking I lucked out and got an opt-in invite.

But I should still be getting an email from Futureshop with an actual key right? I can give it to a friend then.

Thanks in advance.

The pre-order beta key from FS comes from them so you'll receive an email from them.

If you did receive one from blizzard (as I did in February), you don't have to activate it, you just have to log in your battle.net account and the beta will already be activated in your account. From there, you'll need to download it, patch it and voila, you can play.

Sweetness! Thanks for the answer. I guess I'll  give my soon-to-come Futureshop key to a friend
