Yep, and will be out of whole lot less money and won't have missed anything.
If $180 is a whole lot of money to you then you probably shouldn't be playing video games in the first place.

Anyone pre-order this from Amazon yet? Its only $6 to have it arrive on release day. Hopefully the beta key doesn't take the full 5 days.

There were rumors that the beta will end mid-May. Some claim that this unconfirmed rumor arose because of a misprinted or unclear ad at EB Games, but that it's really just the beta key preorder promotion that's ending.

Still, it's enough for me to wait for another sale instead of paying full price for the preorder. Not worth it just to get a beta key if I'll only get to play it for a couple weeks. I guess in this sense I'm like lupi. :\

Wow. I don't know about you guys, but I've been playing Star Control 2 for the better part of 17 years now.

Please don't pollute the acronym SC2 with Starcraft crap. Starcraft... ONE WORD.

I'm as big a Star Control 2 fan as anyone, but I think "SC2" can be safely overloaded.

Same goes for CoH - City of Heroes
