If you have yet to snag an invitation to the Starcraft 2 beta, then this news item is for you! A tipster has alerted us to the Starcraft 2 product page on GameStop, noting that pre-order the game will net players their own invitations to attend the Zerg-stomping fun. The offer applies to both the $ 60 regular edition and $ 100 collector's edition and can be redeemed either in store or online. A quick note for sneaky types out there: The product page states that orders can not be canceled once your beta code is modtaget.Men hey, were you going to buy it anyway, and it's not like someone would game the system just a free beta ticket, right? Of course ikke.Update: According to tipster Aaron and one of our commenters, Amazon pre-orders are now eligible for Starcraft 2 beta invitations as well. We have contacted Amazon to confirm, but in the meantime other Amazon customers out there received their beta key already? Update 2: Amazon has confirmed that its Starcraft 2 pre-orders fall with beta access. The first wave of invitations were sent out today. Future pre-orders should receive their beta invitation "within a few days." [Thanks Chris] Plastic Jungle, a marketplace for gift cards, hoping to shake the gift card market, gift card holders to use certificates for a given shop at another online retail business. Plastic Jungle you can buy, sell and exchange gift cards online. Instead of receiving cash for the gift certificate, also Plastic Jungle, you can trade value in an Amazon gift certificate or give your money to charity. Users can receive cash for unwanted gift cards for up to 92% of the unused portion and buy gift cards at up to 30% rabat.Plastic Jungle, which has just raised another $ 7,400,000 in grants will partner with online retailers to operate a payment portal in the purchasing process, which will allow traders to use a credit from another shop to make an online payment. You enter the gift certificate as you would a credit card based on the unique serial number and pin code, every major gift card has. Like its exchange on the website, will Plastic Jungle offers you up to 92% of the uncommitted balance on the card. So if you want to spend a $ 100 gift certificate at Target.com Gap.com, you'll receive $ 92 from Plastic Jungle to put toward your Gap.com balance.Plastic Jungle will then transfer that $ 92 into another Target.com map and re-sell the remainder of the card at PlasticJungle.com. Plastic Jungle is working with both gift card processors and retailers to make the process be done electronically and therefore immediate. And the start will be to implement this check-out system with a major retailer that will go live by mid-summer (Plastic Jungle declined to name the retailer). And it will only be used and implemented in line transaktioner.Det seems like a stretch to believe that retailers would be on board with this. Gap or Target can enjoy when no user cards but because then they get to keep the cash without handing over any goods. Helping Plastic Jungle make a more liquid market out of gift cards might not be in their best interesseMen Plastic Jungle CEO Gary Briggs insists that with more than 30 billion dollars wasted in unused gift cards, the ability to transfer balances will kick start the movement of these short and inevitably lead to more e-commerce transactions and more money for retailers. The startup also just launched a partnership with Facebook that allows users to sell unused gift cards and receive Facebook Credits.Briggs recently told us that Plastic Jungle's revenues are eight times more that what it was a year ago. Briggs also said that "millions" of dollars have flown through the marketplace since its launch two years ago. Plastic Jungle faces competition from Card Pool and others.
