You should know the drill by now, enter our great StarCraft II beta competition and get a chance to win one of 100 keys we're giving away on CVG today.
Unfortunately it's not an instant win, like our great APB giveaway but we warp the winners over to Blizzard micro-seconds after the competition's closed and they promise to be in touch as soon as possible to set you up with the key, client and all you need to get you started.
Our chums over at PC Zone and PC Gamer are also giving away a 100 keys on a daily rotating basis all the way up until April 23rd , so if you're not successful today, make sure you check PCZ tomorrow and PC Gamer the day after for another chance to win.
CVG, will you head over to PCG and PCZ and give them a kick up the backside? PCZ have been sat on their results for over a day now and if PCG keep to their normal trend, they won't update their blog until late this afternoon.
So.. uhm, question.. i just noticed that my account here had my internet ego name compared to my bnet acc name.. changed it now, but what if i won something yesterday, does that hurt? major oops
edit: i listened to your advice and wrote a short mail to Mr. Hogarty.. hopefuly i won't get banned
We've arrived at yet another startcraft 2 beta giveaway, this is the third time we have tried to intercept, we have recieved no word as of yet. For now all we can do is hope.
Dear CVG, can you please ask your colleagues at PCzone to post Day#2 winners ? I've sent an email to mr. Hogarty but no answer. If i didn't win at PC Zone maybe i have a chance in Day#4
Everybody who entered these competitions is eager to get a taste of the mighty Starcraft 2. I know I am .Thanks to all of you who gave us a chance to win a beta key.

According to the PC Gamer post, Blizzard are contacting us tomorrow, hopefully thats for all the recent winners and not just PCGamer as i was lucky enough to win with CVG.
i see thechicken name on each one of them links.. i wish i have that persons luck of winning a key each day.. but that is a bit unfair now.. 2 was ok but 3 ?
yer your right.. but i just hope that thechicken dont win another one otherwise ill go mad and probably beg him for one lol.. only thing we can do right now is wait tho.. and hope that we get chosen
To all of you asking what happens if your email/username isnt the same as your battlenet details, i seriously doubt it matters. Blizzard will undoubtably send you an e-mail (using your CVG E-mail details that you entered the compo with) with a key in it, with which you can swiftly zip onto your battle.net account, and whack it in. So fear not, my Beta hunting bretherin, your chance of having a key is still as high as anyone else using the same e-mail for both.
starting to think if this is bogus.. do hope to hear from anyone if they have gotten a beta key because of this and i really want to know how thechicken go 3 keys after joining on the day of the competition
I am sure they will do something about it, I don't think the idea of this competition was for some people to make money by posting keys up on ebay.
I really thought I had a good chance of getting a key day#4 now and nothing, I wonder how many people are entering each day I bet it is increasing in numbers also!
I wish I win, and well, I wish that when people win don't reenter the contest, it's just not fair. If you've won a beta key what else could you possibly want?
I got my key today (day 1 winner here), But Battle.net is p**sing around so I can't download the game; I just get taken to an error screen instead. I'll try later.
LIES LIES LIES. All these competitions are f@$ing bull. Day 1 STILL do not have a key!. Day 3 winners were said to be contacted by Blizz today, er yeah NEVER HAPPENED. Thinking about it, Where is the statement issused by blizz that they would be distributing keys through CVG??, I have never seen them splash out 100`s and 100`s of keys at any go!. They have contests/opt-ins/friend invt, and thats it...This is all f@#@$Ing lies,, FU CVG ,FU LIARS
first off, Day 5 IS there just go to the PC Zone site, 2nd off the people who are repeated on the 3 lists are repeated CAUSE THEYRE THE SAME LIST the names are in the same order, and theyre all the same people
Umm no, they are not the same list. There not all on the 3 list that are posted so far, only a few are on 2 of the list and as far as I know only thechicken is on all 3.
Hmmm ... Day#2 winner here, still no key from blizzard? I'm beginning to wonder if it is real. Can someone from CVG confirm that day#2 winner list has been sent to blizzard ? Any response from them as when we will receive the keys ? At least an answer regarding the day when we will receive the key so we don't spam the receive button on the mailbox. Thank you!
apparently some of the day 1 winners have got theirs, but just a few that had a battle.net account associated with the same email address http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=242079
Yeah its official guys, Your email address on here needs to match your battle.net account. I have since created a new battle.net account to match this address. But im guessing im too late and im gonna miss out. Totally gutted. CVG just found out today and expect an announcement soon. Sooo gutted
Man that's the biggest load of crap I've ever heard... I have a b.net account but didn't know the email has to be the same! Is it really that hard for them to let all the winners make or update their accounts and then resend the invites?
This is worse than dangling a caramel-covered, chocolate-soaked candy bar in front of a starving baby, laughing at him and then scarfing it down while he helplessly looks on.
Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating. But this still sucks
Think all has been sorted. John from CVG said they were hoping to get ahold of Blizzard.A couple of hours later and ive got the email from Blizzard. Downloading it now!!
If you didn't win a StarCraft II key, Blizzard are sponsoring this year's SCI-FI-LONDON Film Festival and will have the first public hands-on version available to play. There will also be a StarCraft themed movie all-nighter. For full details of all the movies and events go to www.sci-fi-london.com
As of now I must admit I was a non-believer. I JUST RECEIVED THE BETA KEY FOR SC 2 !!! Wow! This is not a scam! This competition is for real! THANK YOU CVG! THANK YOU PCZONE! THANK YOU PCGAMER! I only won once but i thank you all! For all the other winners, be patient because all of this is real! SLOW but REAL ! THANK YOU AGAIN !
