I want beta accsess can you buy it from somewhere (I'm really desperate and did not sign up in time)

The first wave of beta invites went out last Sat/Sun and I believe the invite phase is over. The next best bet is to pre-purchase GW2 on the 10th of April to have access to all future beta weekends from then onwards. Otherwise, if you have any friends (real life) who made it, go over their house and try it out. As for those on the net, I wouldn't ask to borrow their accounts as I reckon it could stop his/her access.

There's also a lot of phishing and scam sites out there that offer a beta spot in GW2 so becareful of those too!

Sadly no, I played the first GW though. Got through every campaign in all add-ons, but the PvP part there wasn't really fun imo.
The new ones look way better (e.g. world PvP).

Anywa, once I got my hands on GW2 I'll let you know my IGN. ;)

Well for the pre-purchases, regardless of what edition you buy you are given access to all beta weekends until it comes out. Otherwise you'll have to just sign up for the betas and either be invited in or not. The one this weekend though was sign ups only has it's obviously no where near 10th of April yet.

I don't want to ask for too much, I'm also asking for a new laptop and a rifle scope!

That makes sense then :p Lucky you in a way, I'm buying my laptop and collectors on my own but I should be able to get both no worries (have a steady work roster the next two weeks). Rifle scope btw, please explain?!
