Credit Card required to view Quake 4 product info?

[Tanclearas]

I did a quick search to see if this was posted before. I apologize if it was.

I was trying to take a look at what packages might be available for Quake 4, so I clicked on the "Read more..." link for Quake 4 at Activision's web site. A popup appeared asking for birthdate (which is completely normal) and a credit card number! It does say the credit card won't be charged, but why the hell should I give a credit card number just to view product info?! LOL!

I tried just entering a birthdate and leaving the credit card info blank, but it went to a "Sorry" page, and that's all I get now. It doesn't come up with the option to enter the info again (not that I would anyway). I might clear my cookies later to try again (with a fake number), but to be honest, I doubt it's really worth it.
