    Hah sneaky. Ordered on 20th Nov myself from the .co.uk it wasn't on the offer at the time if I recall.

    Only logged in yesterday think it was just 1v1 available.

    Genius. Just did that myself. :p

    Feel a bit mean coz I'm gaming the system but to be honest, I would prefer to buy the digital version and just download it than have to wait days or weeks for the post.

    Meh, its only a beta key not something of any real value, Blizzard don't care the deal with GameStop and Amazon is just a way to promote pre-orders for those companies and to stop a flood of beta users.

    Yeah but Blizzard want you to do that, they need people to test the game. You are basically unpaid testers. The certainly don't view it as some sort of piracy or stealing of the game.
