    lol some people really want to try it out, Starcraft is about 4 months out and people are playing that much.

    Would you spend that much to get a key? (oh and some of them have the wow mount yippy...)

    hell no. I waited for over 2 years, so I can wait a few more months and save myself $500 for other things, including the 50 needed to buy the actual game.

    They only cost $150, right? If I had that much money, I'd buy a key in a heartbeat, but not a penny more.

    $500 just to be able to brag "I have beta" for say 3-6 months?
    That's not something I'd be doing. I would have preordered a SC2 limited ecition already instead if I was one of those rich fools.. Yes it's only a guess that a limited edition will come. But saying Wooo I have a limited edition SC2 to me would be much cooler and rarer ad last longer than 6 months. As those limited editions tend to sell out so fast, from where I am the Blizzard ones are usually pre-order sold out. And some pre-order people miss out too.

    Pay $500 for an early version of a game which lasts only a few months, doesn't have any campaign and after it I'll have to pay another $50 for the actual game? No, thanks. There are much better things to do with $500. ;)

    Heck no. I'm certainly not THAT impatient to get a beta key for a game that's coming out in only a few months.
