I want to get back into SC2 by getting into the beta of Heart of the Swarm. What is the quickest method to get a beta key? I called Gamestop and they are out of beta keys. Amazon says 5-8 days on their site. Please help.

not 100% sure, but doesn't Blizz give a key if you pre-order directly from them? also, coolermaster is doing a facebook giveaway of some keys as an alternative you can try...

What i've heard is that Amazon is very fast with the delivering their pre-orders beta-keys, while Blizzard takes a lot longer.
haven't bought HOTS my self yet though.
