Apparently it's classic AOE reskinned with persistent features (ie AOE3 Home City deck building).

Yeah - apparently they're being tricky with this giveaway, I realize on re-reading.

*Please note: You may only enter ONE promotion code for the Age of Empires Online Beta. Entering a promotion code does not guarantee acceptance to the Beta.

Well, some chance is better than no chance to get a shot at a remake of a real classic. :shrug:

Update on this:

Hello and welcome to the Age of Empires Online beta!

Thank you for participating in our promotion with Alienware and expressing interest in joining the Age of Empires Online beta.

Currently this game is in a beta state – which means it’s not final and things are changing. With this change comes new things in each new build. We’re in the process of getting a new build out for everyone to enjoy, especially you! The reason we’re sending you this email though is to let you know this won’t happen until after the Thanksgiving Holiday (the weekend of Nov 27-28th for our EU friends). We need a little extra time to make sure things are in a good place and working order before we invite new users. We want to make sure you can play the game, rather than give you a broken experience. Please pardon our dust, and have patience with us. We’ll be sending you your download link shortly.

I got the same email. But it still says that not everyone who put in a promo code will get a beta invite. But it also says they're gonna send a download link... so I'm not quite sure what's going on but here's to hoping!

Key arrived. Need to redeem it in the GfWL Marketplace Client - downloads a 18MB file which I presume is a web installer.

You are correct, or at least mine was

kayson · Dec 15, 2010

Oh yay! I got a code too

OC101 · Dec 16, 2010

They are out of keys.

Does anyone have a key that don't plan on use any more or is willing to share?

I'll make some phones calls to see if a couple could "Magically" appear out of space and air.

Anyway...for those of us who are now in and all NDAed up - what are some of those GfWL gamertags?
