Forget Hive's beta key games

[MrApples]

Just pre-order the game, lol.

 

[Aegis Runestone]

... need money... need job.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

You get one, for pre-ordering?! May I ask where this is, lol? I'm not doubting you, I generally want to know

edit: for the uk...

 

[water_Knight]

What is that suppose to do i alreyd pre-ordered and i am sick of waiting

 

[MrApples]

GameStop, Amazon, etc. I think it started today.

 

[Aegis Runestone]

yesterday, actually.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Amazon.com does, .uk doesn't as far as I'm aware

As for GAMESTOP although we have stores in the uk, I can't find a uk site (currency £'s)


EDIT: http://www.amazon.co.uk/tag/video games/forum?cdThread=Tx1LXQ3IFEHW7PA doesn't look good -.-

 

[water_Knight]

Well that is just rubish i pre-ordered like 3 weeks ago so i don't get one that is stupid srsly wtf....

 

[Grey Nightmare]

Yeh, sucks to be in the eu, when it comes to games/movies, we get them late and we get bug all in the promotion department.

EDIT: Wow yeah, three weeks. That's not helped my confidence

 

[Aegis Runestone]

Yeah, I'm still going to rely on Ralle's key competitions because, hey, it's free, and I might have a chance. I don't have the money to preorder SC2 right now. :/

 

[Grey Nightmare]

hmm maybe... I think there are people who deserve them more than me though Doubt I'll enter unless it's something I can win fair and square for e.g.

I don't like these 'tell me why you want it/how excited you are' threads, it's not a very good way of determining who deserves them, but I gotta hand it to Ralle, he's trying his best, it can't be easy deciding who get's one and who doesn't, I most certainly wouldn't want to be in his position (even though I'd get a beta key ).




EDIT: End of my query





I sent them an enquiry about this, this is what they replied : (not me, someone on amazon.uk)

So no beta key for europeans yet

 

[Bloody_Turds]

now that anyone "with cash" can get their hands on sc2 beta key, pretty easily, rally should just give out the remaining keys, to the most qualified, active members, whos budget cant afford to pre-order (im not saying me, as i already have my key, for a while now )

chriteria should include; number of post, a minimum rep of lets say 50?

 

[Aegis Runestone]

That would disqualify me... and I'm a huge SC fan. Was one of the scariest Zerg players in my group.

Also, it's up to Ralle to decide what the criteria is for each hand-out.

 

[Grey Nightmare]

... I Seriosly doubt there are people who cannot afford sc2 and have access to a pc/Internet that will run it.

+ your idea would he nice if it only included US members, those of us in EU are still stuck

and why would rep have to be involved? That obviously means all 'new' members are ruled out which is totally wrong. Just because someone has only just joined the hive doesn't mean there any less of a sc2 fan, less deserving of a key or won't help the hive community in the future.

I'm not on about me there either, as I said there are plenty who deserve it, but you shouldn't decide it off rep!!!

 

[supertoinkz]

My parents don't want me to spend too much money.

My brother have a job but he don't know SC2 yet. Wat a dumbass.

So I'll stick with Ralle's games, it's the only way.

The beta keys have been spread anyway, so, no need to worry sweeteh.

 

[shadonavan]

ok heres a good bit of news everyone i put FIVE DOLLARS DOWN on the preorder(the minimum at gamestop) AND GOD A KEY!!! DONT SAY YOU NEED MONEY!!! FIVE DOLLARS OMG!! i was really happy lol. go get a key before they are all gone

 

[Bloody_Turds]

@ my suggestion, the rep was suggested, for the very purpose of ruleing out newbies, although, in hindsight, it could be something closer to 10.. (just to make sure there atleast somewhat helpful), I dont know what the deal with disabled rep is, but if you got a nice post count, rules are made to be broken XD..

we kinda dont want new ppl signing up for accounts, just to get better odds in a 'drawing' ect..?
