Amazon is the only place that you can "pre order" something and cancel it with no fee.

If you pre-ordered the game you got a beta code. Otherwise it was a closed beta.

In essence a ton of people may have ordered a game that they can then cancel just to get a code for a beta period that is going on RIGHT NOW.

For actual results wait until February, or March.

But if lots of people canceled the pre order the game wouldn't be sold out right now.

Do you know how cancelled preorders are handled?

Anyway we need to calm expectations a little here. It's 55th and 91st on the monthly so it's clear that Amazon hasn't had a huge allocation of the the game. And while these positions are respectable for a game 2 months from launch, we know that the beta is a huge factor for pushing the game over the last week or so. 

While I expect the game to do relatively well, we need refrain from blowing our loads over congratulating Rare on success that isn't even there yet.
