" Neat, but no Steamplay means no sale. I have to switch between too many computers to deal with some proprietary bullshit.  I'll get the retail box soon enough. Does anyone know if the mac and PC version are all included in one disc like past Blizzard games?  "

Dude you know you can DL Blizzard games as many times as you want on as many PCs right?  Once the code is on your Real ID, you can DL it a million times a day!  I own every Blizzard game and put them all on my Real ID, I can now freely DL them anytime as many times! "

Every blizzard game you say? I tried to add Orcs and Humans to my battle.net account and.. since it doens't use a CD key, you can't.    Really excited for SC2, might just buy the retail version for the sake of it. Still get to add it to my battle.net account to download on other PCs heh. "

Special edition pre-ordered about a month ago. I am good to go by midnight! Plowing through the single player missions that same night!. And as chance might have it my vacation starts that same week. SC2 marathon, here I come!

This is fine for you kids and yer newfangled internets, but personally I can't wait to buy it in a store, come home, unbox it, and read the goddamn instruction manual while it installs. Fuck yeah.

it requires you to log in/ register to even play singleplayer 
i predict the login server to be clogged/down for atleast a week

So Blizzard is...as of right now...allowing people to download the full StarCraft II client digitally? 
 
>.>     <.<     Yeah, I'm SURE this won't be completely hacked and pirated within the next 72 hours!!!

I don't buy PC games at brick and mortar's anymore.  Digital or nothing! 

Buying retail support LGS and hey i want it my shelf of Honour.

I haven't bought a physical PC game in...I actually can't remember the last one I bought. I have this REALLY bad habit of losing game discs, so the digital revolution is like sweet ambrosia to me.I shall purchase it...ONLINE!

i don't know. i don't have any interest in playing this game multiplayer. i just can't seem to grasp multiplayer RTS games. like its a complete mindfuck and i'll just freeze and watch whatever i build be destroyed.

Not on Steam? Don't want it.

no way dude, this thing requires you to enter your real name to play lan
 
haha, i just combined two things there

Seems utterly hackable.

does anyone know if they will release a benchmark of some sort? 

Awesome, another game which is pulled out of the 90's, reskinned with a shinier coat and sold to the teeming masses at $60 a pop. The only reason I could see myself buying this is because of the custom maps that will be released by the communities (because honestly, evolves was the fucking bee's knees).

I'm getting the CE so this doesn't affect me.  I want that sweet flash drive. 
 
This is Jimmy.

Already pre-ordered, ah well.

I think I'm gonna go digital on this one. Why leave the house right?

that's convenience!

I played the beta, Starcraft 2 is such a primitive garbage: 
 
-twitchy animations 
-no unit veterancy 
-poor effects and physics 
-horrible "flying" unit which are even horribly animated 
-battles last a few seconds 
-cartoony graphics 
 
Practically all other RTS games are better, especially Supreme Commander 2 and Dawn of War 2.

   
Sweet.

I would get it digitally if I would have a better computer, also it's freaking starcraft 2 dudes be more positive, this is the game we waited for since like forever.

Probably collector's edition and then throw the wow pet up on ebay :P

The Blizzard store is damn expensive. 
 
They are charging £29.99 for Wrath of the Lich King. I didn't see a single store charge more than £20 for it even on launch day. I got my copy, day 1, for £17.99.  
 
I suggest just buying retail. Most retailers will ship the game so you receive it on launch day regardless. 
 
Edit: I've no issue with digital games, in fact I prefer to buy most of my games that way. However if Blizz keeps up it's trend of being significantly more expensive than other stores, then I'm gonna buy retail. I'll pay a little extra on Steam for convenience when neccesary, but that price difference for Wrath is pretty damn large.

already downloading it

Because they have battle.net, and won't have any issue selling it through their own service. Any copy sold on steam, steam takes a % of the money.

Being a English site, I don't think it's proper to use a foreign language.    And the phrase 'QQ' can be applied to anything.  Just because it became popular in one game's forum don't mean it can't be used elsewhere.
