I believe it says somewhere in the TOS that if you cancel your pre-order after downloading the beta, you are still liable to be charged for any features attached to that pre-order (the beta).
I'm not 100% on this though, you might wanna check beforehand.
That's just lawyer speak, Bungie would never charge you for playing a beta. It's just the lawyers putting in the TOS to cover their asses "just in case"...
What would they be able to charge for something that doesn't have a price attached to it in the first place? A company retroactively charging for something that doesn't have a fee is a way bigger issue than something like this that people have been doing for years.
TOS are full of clauses that don't really add up to anything, and I've never heard of an issue resulting from people using preorder codes after cancelling (and Amazon has been doing this for quite some time now). If you "weren't sure" and are telling other people to check for themselves, maybe you should have just checked yourself or thought for a second about it before fearmongering.
Considering this method is ran entirely through Sony's PSN and not Amazon, I don't really know how their TOS works and if they're greedy enough to charge you (EU doesn't charge up front like U.S., so that's a plus). Still, I assume it's relatively similar-- don't be worried some lawyers will come a-knockin' if you try this out.
neat, wish pre-download would come for us with codes
