Fansites offering keys to the Final Fantasy XIV beta
If you're eagerly anticipating Final Fantasy XIV's release, can't wait through the next fifty-odd days until the collector's edition is available, and don't feel like playing prior games in the series to take the edge off... well, you might be in luck. Square-Enix is continuing to reach out to the fan community, and the upcoming third phase of beta testing coincides with not one, not two, but three different beta pass giveaways around the web. Eorzeapedia, FFXIVCore, and ZAM are all offering readers a chance at winning a pass to the next phase of beta testing, with each requiring a slightly different sequence for participation. While the exact date for the next stage of Final Fantasy XIV's beta has not yet been announced, it's known to be some time toward the middle of August, which means at worst a month or so before the special edition of the game goes live. Head on over to your site of choice and enter to win if you want in on the testing -- and let's be honest, what fan doesn't?
Burning Crusade Beta Keys For The Rich People
Well, maybe not rich, but certainly willing to spend more on World of Warcraft than most people. If you search eBay for the murloc pet cards handed out last year at Blizzcon, you will see some fierce bidding. Sure, it would be fun to have a murloc pet, but more importantly, that card also includes a beta pass for The Burning Crusade. Not a bad deal at all if you attended Blizzcon and scored a card, but a minimum $300 transaction if you haven't. If you aren't lucky enough to get a beta key through traditional channels, this could be your only hope. If I were a single man, against all my better judgement, I might actually buy one of these. However, my wife most certainly would throw me out of the house if I bought one now. In fact, if I did have one of those cards, she'd probably make me sell it on eBay. She can be mean and practical like that.
