I'm not sure just yet if I want to purchase Starcraft 2, but I really wanna try the beta.

Not that I know I won't love SC:2, it's that i'm not sure if i'd even have the time to play it.

Anyway, advice?

If you like RTS and/or are a fan of Starcraft, you should go for it.

If you're a WoW player who's used to having a warm fuzzy feeling handed to you on a plate for minimal skill input, you probably won't like it and you're better off waiting for the single player to release.

1: Go there with a translator

2: Pre order with a fake name/adress

3: Chose "Hämta i butik"(Pick up in store)

4: Receive e-mail with the beta key

5: Cancel the pre order

6: Enjoy the game This is completely legal unless you use someone else's name, in Sweden customers have the right to return any order within 30 days of purchase. You're essentially just pre ordering it and then changing your mind.

It's their fault for sending the key ;)

I'd call it "Stupid site" myself... They really didn't think it through, haha, I'm not complaining. Downloading the beta now.

If you want to play the game, then of course it's worth it. The longer you wait, the less you're going to be able to play beta.

You only get to play multiplayer anyway, so it's not going to spoil anything.

I don't get the deal. You're all going to buy the game anyways, just pre-order it. ;)
