Pre ordered from Gamestop when do I get beta access

I preordered LOTR from gamestop and I have yet to hear how to get into open beta or how to set up the founder's accounts.  Has anyone ordered from gamestop and have any suggestions?  Thanks

    They will email you a open beta key which you can use to make your account with turbine.  The open beta starts on March 30th for Founders.  I think its april 6th for everyone else.


    Currently playing:
    LOTRO & WoW (not much WoW though because Mines of Moria rocks!!!!)

    Looking Foward too:
    Bioware games (Dragon Age & Star Wars The Old Republic)

    I ordered through EBgames.  I guess this is the same right?  Anyone go through EBgames?

    I read on one of the retailer's sites (Frys.com?) that keys get emailed out on Thursdays.  If you pre-ordered today whether or not you get your key this Thursday I don't know.  But as has been said you won't really need it until the open beta starts.  In the meantime if you are in NA, Australia, or NZ and can't wait go by gamespot.com and get a key for this weekend's stress test

    Game Stop / EB Games send the Founders Key Code emails out on Thursdays. Open a Turbine account and enter the key code. You'll be invited to open BETA at the end of March.

    I was foolish enough to listen to my girlfriend and preordered through Gamestop. Now the boxes at best buy sit there...taunting me. If they don't have my box for me today (the day they usually get their shipments in), I'm going to best buy and getting my effin' money back from Gamestop :-P

    If 2/22 was the date the email was supposed to go out then I guess I was missed.  Let me know if any of you who ordered thru gamestop has received this email yet.  Thanks

    Remember to register for the closed beta too. Once you get the key to register for the founder's account, make sure you also register for the closed beta and make sure you tell them you are a pre-order founder. (there is a box on the beta form to fill in a special way) I got my closed beta invite within a week or so.

    Thanks for the info. I pre ordered from EBgames last week.

    I pre ordered the game two weeks and I have not received the founder's key and when I went in to register for the beta I was not given the option to check that I had preordered the game.  I should have just went into a store and bought the box instead of ordering online.  Oh well better luck next time.
