just got back from Gamestop, can't wait to finally play some Beta
None.
I just spent all of my recently acquired $140 on Magic: The Gathering cards
I have no money to order it!
None.
Now THAT is tempting to get now... I'll probably pre-order it and find out if my computer can run it, so I know ahead of time if I need a computer upgrade.
Thanks man.
@Olimar: $140! Dang...

I can run it on medium-ish with an amd 3.01ghz dual core (honestly don't remember, I have no chassis sticker and it was given to me) 4gb ddr2 800 ram, and a radeon hd 3450 (needed something better than integrated before pay to get it running) at basically 60-80fps i think (not sure, its fluid gameplay but i never benchmarked it) with the exceptions of nukes and say an army of 400 zerglings. hope I helped abit.

Tell me how this works: I put down a $5 deposit, which is subtracted from my final total when I actually buy the game? Or does pre-ordering cost an extra $5?
tits
Relatively ancient and inactive
I just did it. $60 for the game, $5 tax, and it both added and subtracted $5.99 for some reason. Shipping is free.
Err... how do I get my beta key? (EDIT: Read it, apparently get the email in a day. I can wait.
)
None.

It's usually a deposit that is deducted from the total.
None.
Wave 1.
That said, if I get money I may pre-order it anyway, Just to make sure I'll get it when it comes out.
None.
Looks like I'll be playing SC2 over the summer
Should have my laptop once I get my first paycheck (working for the 2010 Census gets me 150$ a day).
Thinking of buying the
G73JH-A1 and sticking a 128GB SSD in it.
None.
So if I preorder online then I get the beta-key?
None.
Pre-ordered it yesterday but still haven't gotten my beta key
None.
Pre-ordered it yesterday but still haven't gotten my beta key
Usually takes ~16 hours for the e-mail with the beta key to come. Mine took 15, Centreri's took 16, and someone else was telling me it took 16, so expect a wait of approximately 16 hours.
Also, expect the downloading process to take upwards of five hours and the patching process to take at least four hours. Sad, I know, but that's what we get for not being in Topeka.

Yeah I got it today, I didn't think it'd take 6 hours to download... but four hours to patch...?

According to Gamestop's product page, if you pre-order online, they e-mail you the key in (roughly) one business day, and if you pre-order in-store, they print your beta key on your receipt.

Well, patch 9 took the longest - that's the patch where they added the editor. =/ I dunno, it could take less time... my internet connection probably isn't the best example.
None.
lul keys dropped to $4 on ebay. I'd be putting a gun in my mouth if I never sold mine.
you can also do this instore. can put down the $5 deposit or as much as you want to go to final order and then you get free beta key. even better the sotre you get it that day no waiting for email bull.
