    Nope. PC gaming is grim in Ireland. Even Gamesnash who got me wotlk before its launch weren't stocking SC2. They said the distributors had stopped stocking PC games.

    UK isn't better. Only ASDA and Tesco are doing midnight launches in stores that are probably 24hours anyway. All the proper midnight launches are happening in Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Countries that have a high PC gamer base.

    i think the reason it wont work is because the person who owns the main account (the guy who gave you the pass) needs to have at least one character on his account before it will allow the passes to work.
