Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm preview

In the lead up to the "impending" launch - er, in March - of Starcraft II's Heart of the Swarm expansion, Blizzard are extending its beta to include pre-order customers.

For retail purchasers, things are a little more complicated. So far only "select retailers", like Amazon, are offering beta keys. For anywhere else, unless they specify a key, you're probably going to be waiting for March.

Thanks, PCGamesN .
