Also let me know who you are so I can kill you and steal your identity.

check your bnet account page, emails aren't necessarily out.

For people who want to see the game live: http://www.livestream.com/starcraftmethod


***July 27th is the date people, git'er done.***

I'll update if/when I find any deals for the game as I am not going to pay 60 bucks for SC2 regardless of how much I enjoy it.

Phase 2 is live.

What does it say if you got into the beta? I had this thing that said beta opt-in but all it did was upload my PC info.

Thats just the beta opt in you did, they pick you based on your PC specs apparently so everyone who wants a shot at a beta key had to upload them. You get an email saying well done etc with a beta key if they picked you.

What a rip off... you go to Blizzcon, get a beta code and you don't even get a key.

I went to Blizzcon 2008 and I haven't gotten mine yet either. Honestly if they do these Blizzcon beta invites like they did for the WotLK ones from 2007, it'll be a few days before we get in. They're saying on the boards that we're SUPPOSED to get in in the first wave, but I won't be surprised if we have to wait.

Dude, I went to blizzcon 2009, didn't get shit!

Granted, playing D3 for an hour was well worth it alone.

This thread reminded me to update my specs in my battle.net account. It's a lot more powerful now that it was before so I probably didn't get in the Beta.

My battle.net account doesn't show anything. I'm assuming I didn't get anything because it's not obvious. Nuts.

Oh really?

So if i flash nadeshiko with a i7 980 Gulftown, i have a better chance at getting a beta key?

SC2 has rather low system requirements.. I would imagine that they want a good amount of low end systems to test it on, so your odds might be better with a lower end system than a higher one.

Its a good bet it would improve your chances. I took the overclock off my 920 just to run the bnet system specs thing as i assumed they might not give anyone with an overclocked rig a beta key to avoid error reports etc from people with unstable rigs and the like.

I dunno though, i just really want a key and tried to take everything into account lol.

I've never gotten into a Blizzard beta before, and I don't expect to break that trend this time either :(
