The ONLY way to get in the beta is to preorder via impulse. Pre-ordering at a store will not get you in. As to the when, there is usually a small window around the opening of the beta, so it usually is not just people already on the pre-order list, but also people who buy within whatever time frame that Stardock will lay out.

The beta will remain open for some time. As such, you do not need to pre-order prior to the beta opening. In fact, if you wish to use Paypal as payment method, you can only do so when the beta is open.

Impulse is the only way to acquire the beta. Any version of the game will allow you to download it through Impulse on release, but the beta is only for people that order directly at Stardock/Impulse.

What is with the self entitlement people have? You know he can't answer a question like that without a million others spawning. So you won't get a confirm or a deny. If you are so poor (not a knock, I know times are rough) that its a major issue on your finances then just hold out for Beta 2.

Probably not until they announce beta 2 will it open up again.  At this point it doesn't look like that will happen until early march.

Common sense, as in Frog couldn't give you an Individual yes or no. Though I did overlook the possibility of a Blanket statement Yes or No. As he has given a Blanket Statement no. It has nothing to do with awesomeness and everything to do with anyone with any common sense would realize that the devs can't give answer such questions on an individual basis like the way you phrased your question. Duh. Think, Mcfly, Think.

Noooo! I'm burning you in effigy. Oh well, I've waited 15 years for a sequel, what's another month. From everything I've read on this site, it sounds like the beta itself is going to be awesome, let alone the full game.

Just for the record: is that date still up after the new delay for 1G?
