And guess what came up ![[image loading]](http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/6836/wtfg.png) Did this happen to anyone else? I ordered this game in APRIL, and they're backordering it now? Whoever else has preordered theirs online on gamestop please let me know if you have the same issue. Problem is I really want the CE, and I really want it for the 25 bucks off I got it for, but if I'm not going to receive it on release date I'm going to cancel the order and just go to a midnight release and buy (apprehensively) a regular edition. fuck my life. | ||

 I don't pre-order games as I have a friend who always saves me a copy of games I want, but I hope you manage to get CE as soon as you can  | ||

He said its how there computers work. There warehouse is now empty of ce editions so even if they have yours, it will show up as backordered. I suggest giving them a call if you want peace of mind. | ||

I would be curious to see if everyone who got the "on-sale" collector's is like-wise backordered. They may be freezing you guys out =/. Sorry 'bout the poorish english, just got off a double shift and am knackered. | ||

1) That is the CE don't worry, I used a 25% off coupon for orders 100 and up 2) I did exactly what beefstew just said. And that the computers say its backordered because the game hasn't come out yet. And that when they ship it out, it'll say "Online" instead of backordered. Yeah I guess I was stressing out just because its the weekend and usually customer service is down on weekends, and I was worried I wouldn't have enough time to order my copy before release date. Thing is I have certain priorities, mostly being A) I get SC2 on release day B) I prefer having the CE. I was hoping to have both, but if my order really were backordered I'd have gone to a midnight release and purchased the regular copy, and then gotten the CE later lol, then I'd be stuck with two copies for 135 bucks, which, in all honesty I don't really mind, its not like it'll destroy me financially, but I wouldn't be able to return the regular copy after I already opened it and used the CD key. Hopefully it all goes as planned, if it doesn't I'll get pissed, and since I'm the prime sucker for blizzard they will have roped me in for 135 bucks for two copies Smurf account....or an EU account I guess. Could be worse. | ||

They wouldn't be backordered for the regular edition, only the CE, since almost all the stores have a huge extra supply of regular editions so that they don't run out. | ||

Fuck Gamestop. A friend made me pre-order with him for the 10% off on order's over $100 and I knew it was a bad idea. What a piece of crap company. - Ndugu Amen to that. That company exists to really rip off its customers and to fuck with them. | ||

Blizzard stated that servers go live at 10am, so for people getting the game from midnight releases, will it even be playable? Woah what? Can you provide a source for this? Everything i've heard says you will be able to play at midnight when you get your copy. | ||

Yes, the digital purchase goes live at 10 AM, meaning that if you download the digital copy and do not have a CD-key from a physical copy to manually activate your account for play, then you must wait until 10 AM for the activation servers related to digital purchases only (meaning purchases off the Blizzard store). However, keep in mind if people are not going to a midnight launch Gamespot and most other electronics/game stores open at 10 AM, so downloading and buying online versus downloading and buying at the store / installing from disk really isn't that different. In short servers for PLAY will be available as soon as midnight-launch people manage to install the game. | ||

Anyway, it will be a few days once SC2 launches for me to join you guys. But somehow I think it will be a blessing in disguise. I expect unexpected problems with the launch similar they had with Beta Phase II. Also, all the beta die-hards will be doing their placement matches. After a few days, my placement matches will be against the non-beta people (hopefully!). The last major launch for Blizzard was with World of Warcraft. I remember it having tons of problems. Blizzard has vowed they do not want a repeat of that experience. But my experience with the Beta hints there will be some sort of issue. Can you imagine people taking work off and the servers are down for days? Oh, I'd be so pissed. | ||

I'm guessing that's so they don't kill retail midnight party sales. ** Also, the local gamestop told me that if I don't pick the game up at midnight I could come in at 10 and pick up my pre-order.** A digital release for people who failed to pick up the midnight copy could be pretty severe. Anyone else find it funny that a limited edition Collectors edition was oversubscribed? Seems like the least likely customers to cancel their order? who knows. | ||

I was expecting to at least pay like $5 for the key. | ||

Nah, Reason they won't let me change shipping is because I ordered a 1 dollar item to get over the 100 dollar limit needed to use my 25% off, and since that already shipped they can't change my address for the CE. Unless I cancelled the order completely and reordered, but then I lose my 25% off. It was complicated and annoying but w/e, as long as i get my CE on release day i'm happy | ||

I went into the Gamestop I reserved it at, located in the mall. I asked them if I could change my location to a different location that was doing a midnight launch. They said they could not do it for me. What a load of crap? How hard is it to just change what store its shipping too? Weak. | ||

I'm also unhappy with Gamestop's delivery for SC2. Amazon ships theirs out early while GameStop is telling me I can't change to an in-store pickup and have to wait 5-10 business days for it to arrive. What kind of crappy game launch is that, receiving the game 5-10 biz days after it's already out. | ||

I was thinking about switching mine to in-store pickup (originally didn't because I didn't want to deal with a couple douchebags I know who work in my Gamestop) but I guess I can't =[ I just wanted the beta key and didn't think about how long I'd have to wait after launch =[ | ||
