Blizzard recently revamped their store, with a totally new design and products.
More importantly, you can now digitally purchase games.
Even more surprising is that you can download any game that you own a valid cd-key for, free of charge of course. This means that as good as you have your cd-key, you will never have to worry about scratching your discs again (+ the no-cd patch that Warcraft/Starcraft had, it makes everything alot more convenient than before). All you have to do is to create an account and validate your games. Now all you have to do if you ever lose your cds/go to a lan is to go the site and download them!
Check out the new store

O, I really like the idea of downloading games free with CD key.

I love how the only shirts that are targeted to a game are WoW shirts.
-_-

|
hmm, did you register your starcraft copy already? my key doesn't seem to work. the format is xxxx-xxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxx (4-5-4-6) all numbers. is yours similar and does it work?

In the game registration page, just put your cd key the way you have it, 4-5-4. And the system will automatically recognize the game you registered. After that you will be prompted to choose a language for future Downloads and such. After that it's registered to your email/account. foreverzzzzz.

ya I did already with my other games. thanks for the hint, I just had to omit the last 6 numbers.
oh, and thanks to the OP, I didn't know about the updated shop. this is really cool, it would have been even better if they just released their stuff on steam, it's better to have everything in one place.

Less WoW shit
More SC shit pls
|
I just did it but I appear to have lost my d2 cd keys

For some reason when I try to register, I ALWAYS get the security input wrong, and I know I've done it right for the past 10 times =_=; helpme D:

No more having to get ISO's or borrow CD's from friends.

bah, they don't sell SC tshirts
|
hmm which makes no sense considering they made a deal with a tshirt manufacturer so that nobody else could sell sc shirts.
note that tl shirts are 100% blizzard approved!
|
The battle chest / anthology set is $5 more than $10.
|
Is there a way to figure out your CD key from your computer?
|
Unfortunately I lost my case (with the CD-key) many years ago.
|
|
|
Does b net work on it?
Edit: Nvm, the problem is I don't have my cd to launch it... but thanks

I'm trying to find that out too..

What a coincidental thread. What is the difference between SC Antholgies and the Battle Chest? Where is Warcraft 2?
|
when i try to install SC it tells me to enter a 26 character CD-Key. 26??????? ????? ??????? ?????
My regular, 13 character CD key worked on the webpage but not the installer =|||
Aha, apparently u supposed to grab new CDkey from their account page.
