Only a few days left to get your sc2 beta key by pre-ordering

Last week to Pre-order Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty and get access to the SC2 Beta

This offer stands until May 17th, so you only have a few days left. If you want to make sure to have your SC2 Beta Key soon, I'd say it's best to pre-order today. All you have to do is pre-order Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty at Gamestop (The normal or the collector version, either works) and you will receive a SC2 Beta Key within a few days.

We got 3 keys that way already here at starcraft-replay.com, and we will be opening another SC2 Beta Key contest for those 3 keys in a few days.
