StarCraft II beta keys are a code which enables gamers to participate in the StarCraft II beta.
A code was provided to each attendant of BlizzCon 2008.[1][2] This code was not a beta key in itself, but will guarantee the holder will receive a StarCraft II beta key by email if they register it at http://blizzcon.com/beta.[3]
A code was provided to attendants of WWI 2008 as well. If the code was not used previously, it can be used to access the European phase of the StarCraft II beta.[4]
Blizzard traditionally offers 40,000 beta keys, but expectations for StarCraft II may be larger.[5]
Beta keys will be available in several regions, and some opportunities will be revealed "soon" (as of February 3rd, 2009).[6]
When StarCraft II's beta starts, beta key holders will be able to enter their keys using their new battle.net accounts.[7]
