Why are there two different products in Amazon.com, the $49.99 regular game and the $1 presale CD ? I just don't know which one to order.

If you order from BestBuy They send the prebuy disk which is the one for $1 free as soon as you place your order. Use the prebuy disk till April 27. On April 28 you have to use the retail game disk which in your case is the $49 one.

The presale CD is what most places give you as soon as you preorder, along with a poster, a tournament strategy guide and your BWE key.
My guess is that Amazon are trying to flog off that CD which just contains some music, screenshots, wallpaper etc. when really it should be given to people who preorder.

I think it's a type O. CompUSA did it to. It turns out that the systems did not identify $10 without tax. Unless they are going to take a 90% hit on every PreOrder?

Nac, does that mean I sill have to order the retail game even thou I buy the presale disk (I thought you buy the presale disk allows you play beta, when teh game offical released, you will download the fullversion from the internet?)
