Question about obtaining beta keys

Remember how the Starcraft II beta was like after it was opened. You can pre order the game at a retailer and they give you a receipt with a Beta key on it. You guys think the same thing will happen for Diablo III? I know Blizzard said they will send out waves of Beta Keys based on everyone's system specifications but will retailers give out beta keys to people who pre-order though?|||My two cents:



Probrably not, because the D3 beta will be essentially different than SC2. It will be much smaller, and focused on hardware/server stress. But, like you said, this in practice means nothing and they could spare a bach of keys for those who pre-ordered the game. Let's wait a bit more and see.|||Perhaps they will do it for pre-orders of the CE...which would be a cheesy ploy, and not necessary, because I think the CE will sell out anyway.

I imagine there will be so many pre-orders...perhaps that would be too many people for their purposes?|||To be honest, I'm hoping for it. since that was the way for me to obtain a beta-key in SC2 and I wouldn't know a easier way for it in D3.|||I doubt the beta will be long enough to get beta keys out to players.|||Quote:

Exactly my thoughts.



Im much more excited about the INFOS about the beta than playing the beta myself.|||Quote:
