GAMESTOP giving away SCII Beta for PreOrder

[Fear Feathers]

(Sorry I haven't check if this thread has been posted. Yeah I know...)

Went to my local Gamestop today just to check out some of the games when, BAM "Preorder StarCraft II now and get access to the BETA." the Preorder fee was a easy 5 bucks. Now I've got beta for SC2.

Lucky you. How much is the game when it comes out?

Umm, I'm pretty faithful in Blizzard not to rip us off, so I say $50.

yeah they are giving the beta away, noticed this too when i pre-ordered mine as well. The special edition version is available for like $112 with tax btw, and its worth it if you were a SC player from back in the day and been waiting for over ten years lol. Oh btw add me in beta SOAS.SOAS

and now we live in the age where the beta-test is almost as much of a retail product as the actual product, which I'm not sure how I feel about.

But that's cool that SCII is in beta, and with a release date actually announced...this should be pretty sweet.

I am thinking I should bust the old SC out and refresh myself lol.

I thought about the CE... then realized I didn't even want the regular. I played back in the day, but I just have lost my taste for RTS. I might pick it up once the price drops a little or I find a good deal.
