I can understand why they closed it originally because they may have wanted to change how codes were processed for 2.0 since they added a new way to receive the items from what I hear. But since the beta is nearing and we know we get into the beta by inputting the beta code we'll get through email, I'm assuming most of the reasons why the code registration was stopped would be over. So why not reopen it up? I recently bought my CE and having been itching to input my registration codes. It's not like SE should be worried that people will just put in random codes before the beta start in hopes of finding a beta code since they will likely be generated and emailed simultaneously.
