DOOM Beta Keys [Mar 29, 2016, 09:14 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
The DOOM FAQ for the multiplayer closed
beta of the upcoming shooter has all the details on testing of the game.
Though the keys to this were handed out long ago as a preorder bonus for
Wolfenstein: The New Order, the FAQ includes word that this weekend they'll
be handing free DOOM closed beta access codes at GameStop and EB Games
Canada (thanks placid). Here's word:
Starting April 1 at 6pm ET, visit your local GameStop or EB Games (Canada) to receive a free DOOM Closed Beta access code. Codes will be distributed through April 3.

They'll probably tell people you need to pre-order from them to get a key, no thanks.
I pre-ordered the collectors edition from them. What's the problem?
Um, preordering is the problem?
I really have no idea why people preorder in this day and age. In the past, it was to ensure a copy of the game before the store ran out of stock. But games are available digitally with unlimited copies, so that's not a worry any longer. Why on Earth would you preorder?
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends. If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends. Slava Ukraini!

Got my key today, as I'd purchased Wolfenstein (though not a preorder.)
Purchased for a 360, key is for an Xbone. I do not own an Xbone. Oh, well. Though, given that I could get one for $200 by turning in my 360 or PS3, I'm tempted.
Buying an Xbone at this point seems like a waste of money. Most of the exclusives are coming to PC (though you unfortunately need to use Windows 10 and the Windows Store to get them).

Wait, go into a Gamestop on April 1st and ask for a beta key for Doom? Why does this feel like they are giving every Gamestop employee an easy April Fools joke for all that ask?

My local Gamestop is actually pretty decent, and the folks behind the counter are a nice bunch.
I'll totally ask them for a key on Friday. And if they refuse, I'll set the orcs on them.
If you like the gamestop folks, you are evil!

I wouldn't mind a beta key, but I am afraid if I walk into an EBgames and ask for a PC beta code they will look at me like I am from a different planet.

Agreed. I have absolutely no desire to ever step inside a Gamestop again and I'm looking forward to their inevitable Chapter 7 bankruptcy. They would probably laugh at us anyway if we actually asked for a Windows key.
Ugh... I'd like a beta key, but to have to set foot into a retail store, let alone a Gamestop...
