Want a StarCraft II Beta Key? Go to GameStop

Hey you. Yeah, you. The one who has “I love StarCraft II so much that I’d do anything to get a beta key” written all over your features. We’ve got a proposition for you. Now, we’re not gonna lie: it’s not glamorous. For instance, if you’ve taken to rampant prostitution in order to scrounge up enough dough to afford a beta key off eBay, you probably oughta just keep doing that. But if you’re truly willing to sink to the absolute depths of depravity, you could always grab your keys and head over to GameStop. You poor soul.
Just stroll into the store, hope your body doesn’t spontaneously burst into flames or – worse – get accosted by an employee who wants you to trade your entire videogame collection for a used toothpick, and then reserve StarCraft II. With that harrowing experience out of the way, you’ll have yourself a beta key. But at what cost?
Or we suppose you could simply opt to place your reservation online. But where’s the fun in that?

$60 for the game? Blizzard knows there are people like us that will fork over the cash no matter how much it stings the wallet. They could charge $75 and we would still be putting in our orders.

It seems that with the long delay to official launch, and the continued balancing act for the Beta... they need you to pay them to work out the bugs... This is starting to sound like a previous article on EA....

I will not be buying it. I refuse to pay 60$ for a video game. Did that for MW2 and got screwed with a shitty, hack riddled, dedicated server-less, crappy matchmaking, pile of a game.
