you can also register on callofduty.com to get a beta, but it's on a first come first served basis, so it might be a bit late now.

Dear Customer,
Thank you for preordering Call of Duty: World at War from GAME.co.uk
We hope you are as excited about this latest installment to the Call of Duty franchise as we are.
You may or may not be aware that we are now offering bonuses with any preorders of Call of Duty on the PC, PS3 and 360 formats. Naturally you are included in this offer however the Call of Duty site itself is not quite ready for us.
You will receive an email next Friday including your offer code and directions on how to redeem the preorder bonuses. Until then please just hold tight. For more in-depth information on what you will be receiving please consult Paused - GAME.co.uk and select your relevant format.
Thank you for your patience
Regards,
The Customer Service Team

The email from GAME said:
"You will receive an email next Friday including your offer code and directions on how to redeem the preorder bonuses."
The GAME website says:
"The code will provide exclusive access to www.firsttofight.callofduty.com, customers can then register for the Beta and in-game content via links on this page. Beta codes & in-game content codes will be dispatched from Activison directly. Beta Codes will be sent on a later date when the Beta becomes available, in-game content codes may not be sent until release."
That means we will get a 20 digit access code for www.firsttofight.callofduty.com, sent from GAME, which will then allows us to register, probably with our Gamertags, for a guaranteed Beta key from Activision.
The "preorder bonuses" will take the form of what's talked about here on the cod.com website:
"10/06/08
UK only: Pre-sell now with GAME and get loads of goodies!Log on to GAMEs website now and get access to loads of exclusive assets that you cant get anywhere else. This pre-sell offer is for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC and includes:

What do you mean? Beta codes, no. Codes from Game (if you preordered) to access firsttofight.callofduty.com and properly register for the beta, yes.So do we get the codes today?

So, for anyone who still doesn't understand the concept of this offer - we are not being sent "Beta keys/codes/tokens" today from GAME. We will only receive an access code, which will then allow us to register for the Beta, which hasn't started yet, and probably won't start for another week or so.
