pre ordered SCII Special addition got BETA KEY

[GatorKram]

This was very unexpected...

I pre-ordered the special addition SCII from amazon dot com
and today I got an email with a SCII Beta Key....

I don't know if they are doing this for everyone who ordered the special
addition, or if it is random. The text from the email follows, minus the key..
