Support TL, Order SC2 Here
![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/Kennigit/AffiliateSC2/590.png)
If you're a TL veteran, you've surely noticed that the number of "Active" and "Logged in" have been growing steadily. Just a few days ago, we peaked at over 8,000 active users. For all you new users, it's not always been like this. Once, not many months ago, it was a rarity to see more than 1,000 users active on our forums. We've come a long way. In May, TeamLiquid will hit 1,000,000 unique visitors in one month for the first time in our history.
You're a part of the largest (and in our opinion the greatest) StarCraft community in the world. We've always felt that our greatest assets are our users and reputation. That's why we've never had huge, intrusive ads and why we have no donation button (though many people have tried, we've almost always refused donations).
SC2 will be released in just over two months. Many of you will be buying it. If you haven't already ordered the game, please do so through our affiliate link with Amazon. It's the same price, so it won't cost you a thing.* This way, a few of your dollars will go back into the community. It won't be a lot of money, but fortunately we're very good at making small dollars go a long way. Every little bit counts, and we'll use your contribution to improve our servers, content, tournaments, and other community-oriented activities.
* Note: For those wishing to participate in the final weeks of the beta test -- as of May 13, Amazon has run out of beta keys to give to pre-orders. You will not get a beta key ordering with them.
Click Here to Order SC2 - United States Shipping
Click Here to Order SC2 Standard Edition - Canada Shipping Click Here to Order SC2 Collector's Edition - Canada Shipping
Click Here to Order SC2 Standard Edition - UK and rest of Europe Click Here to Order SC2 Collector's Edition - UK and rest of Europe (possibly sold out)
Click Here to Order SC2 - Germany Click Here to Order SC2 - France In addition, every user that orders through us will be eligible for a raffle for free TeamLiquid Shirts in the near future.
It's a bit silly that we haven't done this yet -- we're the biggest SC2 community and there's no link to buy the actual game! If you've already ordered the game or wish to order it from somewhere else, that's cool. But if you're still planning on buying a copy and want to contribute a tiny bit to TL, we would really appreciate the support.
Thanks, TeamLiquid Staff
+ Show Spoiler [If You Already Ordered] +This is just a response to all those expressing regret for already pre-ordering somewhere else. If you already ordered, it's fine, don't worry or feel bad. We don't expect you to go back and cancel and re-order through us or something. Its just a dollar or two back to TL per order, and it's not like TL is going to crash if you don't go through some annoying cancel-reorder procedure.
Of course, we appreciate anyone that does, but please don't feel like there's some obligation or pressure, that's not our intent at all. We just figured, if you're going to buy the game anyway, it really doesn't negatively impact you and it can marginally help us and the community.

Nice! Will definitely do ASAP.

Yeah we were going to link the collectors edition by for some reason its 299.99 on amazon right now (US version). Can someone else confirm?
|
awesome! but I already pre-ordered gamestop, and because of the fact they were worried about people canceling pre orders for the beta I can't back down. sorry TL
|
If this only would have been posted like 2 weeks ago i would have done it
|
I really wish I could order it but I won't be in Canada to get it until a month after release date...

Is this available for Australian users?

Just bought it two days ago :'(
|
I would totally do this but already pre-ordered from Future Shop for beta key.
|
Sweet! I will definitely order it from here!
|
Nice! Wasn't planning on pre-ordering but now I actually have a reason to
|
available for COSTA RICA :3?
|
Definitely in for one, to support my dear dear TL ^_^.
TL, we love you...at least I do 
7th post.

I will gladly do this if you guys get the collectors edition (at $99) =)

Amazon isn't actually selling the collectors edition (yet), the 299.99 is from some fishy sounding companies that sell stuff through Amazon.com
|
I already ordered a couple weeks ago through amazon for a beta key 
too bad

Wait it's only a US deal so could you put it in the OP? Just read the bottom of the amazon link
|
I'd be up for this had I not already bought the CE from Gamestop. :|
|
will do this as soon as collectors edition gets up
|
Wow this is great. I would definately donate money right into your pockets if I could, but this feels more genuine. Unfortunately I live in Sweden and prefer to play on EU-servers due to the latency difference between our two continents, is this deal only available in North America or can I contribute from over here?
Thanks for doing an awesome job, you really are making SC GM.
|
Once Canada gets up, you get my $60
|
In theory, instead of the 3% or whatever amazon gives TL, buying it wherever it is cheapest and then directly donating the money saved to TL would benefit everyone more. e.g. I got the CE for $76. I could donate $24 to TL and I'd be out the same amount as if I just ordered off Amazon (once they fix their price), but TL would be getting at least 5 times as much money. This would of course require TL to set up a donation system.
I'm certainly not discouraging anyone from using the Amazon referral, as it's far better than just ordering it without TL getting anything. I'm just saying with a bit more effort by the purchaser they could support TL even more!

Working on international links. Stay tuned.

I just checked some details.
This seems to be a US version
(Certainly they aren't going to Ship free to the UK)
Amazon does stock this item in the UK.. Is there some way I can get this to pay you guys?
Here is UK version
|
are CEs in great demand? People are selling it for $200-300 already. Uh is blizzard not making enuff or something?
|
I wish this had been posted a little earlier, I finally bought the game yesterday!

There is possibly midnight releases in SoCal Fry's Electronic, with Blizzard staff signing up shitz.
|
I actually have had a Collector's Edition pre-ordered from Amazon since mid april...so it seems like Amazon might have already sold out (pre-ordered out?) their initial estimates of how many Collector's Editions they'll get or something similar?
|
I'm just wondering: is this the only way to get Team Liquid shirts? I'd really, really, like one, but I'm not sure if I'm able to order SC2 at the moment.
Is there a way to buy your guys' shirts individually? I'm short on shirts anyway, and that shirt just looks so boss to me. :3

|
And done. Glad to give anything back. I love you guys (and gals).
|
Made an account at TL (after lurking for god knows how long) just to say thanks for reminding me to actually buy the game! After so long with the beta I can't believe I forgot until now. Glad to support TL a bit like this though. Try to use the few dollars you get from me for sinister purposes if possible.
|
I wish you guys had done this earlier I would have loved to support you
|
Too bad I already pre ordered, I would have bought through here no doubt. And it's truly amazing how many new users there are. I remember when 1.5k was an outrageously high number...TL has come a long way.
btw I'm almost always wearing the blue shirt when sleeping for the last year or so ;-)
|
Arghhh I'm sorry guys. Girlfriend worked for GameStop, get the discount, the extra beta key, all a whole buncha goodness 
However, I have siblings and friends who've yet to reserve. Definitely going to send 'em here.

Come on now Kennigit, you know you want our socialist (read: Swedish) money, hook us up!
|
Bah I just pre-ordered with Future Shop a few days ago to get an extra key + $5 discount... I'll hook up other people who wants to pre-order though. TL rocks!
PS i sleep at night with my TL shirt as well =D
|
man, if i didn't buy it already, i would definitely help out TL. You have helped me through many hours of boredom and times of confusion.
|
If I could find someone in the US to bring the game to me I would definitely order from here. But I'm actually thinking of buying the collectors edition, so I would have to wait for it to be available anyway.
|
Oh man. If you guys are doing this several weeks from now, I will buy one for my friend if I can D:
I already preordered mine... T-T
TL ftw!
|
I wasn't going to preorder SC2 but TL peer-pressured me into it.
|
ah damn, I literally JUST did my pre-order yesterday, and I already got and activated the key they gave me so I can't cancel. Definitely would've done this though.

Question...
Will this still stand after the game is out? I don't want to order it now, but maybe down the road when I have no choice but to move?
|
i would, but i already ordered it sorry guys
|
awesome. i will defiantly do this next time i get paid
|
I already pre-ordered the collectors edition from EB, however if you can get yours up on amazon i will order it from there, as EB has a tendancy to screw up.
Also, may I suggest if you are looking for donations to improve the community, Im sure there are others like me who have some spare cash and would be willing to donate small amounts to help. Is there anything like this right now? If not maybe one could start. I know I love watching streams and tournies, I would happily pay 20-50$ to help fund more tournaments and such.
Or if it went to HuK's internet bill that would be ok too =P <3
|
I talked to EB games and if you already have pre ordered it you can get your money back 100% even if you got a beta key.

I would also definitely buy that TL shirt. So sick.

Im in mexico but would like to pre order and help TL.net is it posible for me to do it some how?

Ordered one of these for a friend.
Thinking about doing it for myself as well but when it gets released in the blizzard store won't it be a direct download? Therefore no waiting for shipping etc?? Just curious.
|
Will buy it through that link when I eventually buy it.
|
already preordered through gamestop special edition but if I didn't I would totally do it thorugh TL. I do want to buy that shirt that is posted though, it looks ballin' out of control.
|
once amazon puts up collector's preorder i'll be sure to do this ^_^
|
I was wondering how much traffic this site had attracted since the sc2 beta launch. It is easily the best community/resource for new sc2 players. (and I looked around a LOT before finding this place)
Great work on the milestones! We are here for a reason!
|
sadly i have to get it through bnet store cuz my cd roms broke
|
Once I get a comp capable of handling it and I can stop using my brothers, done.
|
Awesome. I will definitely order through TL Amazon. I'll wait for the CE stuff to get sorted out, but if CE isn't available I'll just get the reglear. Does TL get a flat $$ per sale, or a % of sale value (ie is it gooder for TL if I get CE or reglear?)
Also really cool news about the # of visitors.
|
Hey is it possible to buy a digital version through amazon?
i.e. like steam?
|
|
They did have a collectors pre-order up for $99.99, but yeah, not it looks like its ridiculously expensive... I'm curious if they just ran out.
|
Man I would have totally gotten on board if this was up a little while ago!
Sorry guys!
However - (And yes I know you referenced this in the OP however just showing my love) I'd more more than happy to donate some cash to my favourite starcraft (and possibly favourite internet of all time) website! Please let me know!
|
Wasn't going to preorder but I did.
TL FOREVER
|
I ordered from Amazon.ca a few weeks ago and they told me they wouldn't ship it on day of release (July 27), and that they would only start shipping on July 30, which makes the predicted day of arrival sometime around Aug 4-5. I realize it's just a week, but I really want SC2 as close to day of release as soon as possible.
Has anyone who has ordered specifically from Amazon.ca from the above link been able to get confirmation that their order will ship on the 27th and not on the 30th?
|
|
|
Excellent idea! I'm sad now that I already pre-ordered, but I really think anyone who hasn't yet should definitely do so by these means.
|
oh whoops i already pre-ordered =\

I just bought it and there is "release date shipping" for the 27th.
Also, how do we know that we succeeded in supporting TL and that we are in a raffle or whatever (i know the raffle doesnt exist but I'm just asking for the future)
|
Pre-ordered it already I'll see if I can cancel it though.
1,000,000 unique visitors in one month.... that is absolutely insane!
|
I've been putting off pre-ordering for a while, but I just went and did it.
Glad I could support TL in some way.
|
Ordered. I'm glad I didn't already pre-order somewhere else!
|
Oh nice. I already pre-ordered through Amazon a couple months back.
|
i love amazon and i love TL. consider it done.
|
I would totally do this for TL. Except I pre-ordered in Sept 2007 and I'm from Australia anyway. To all those who can do this, DO it!
|
Think this kind of came in too late. I'll tell all my friends though!
|
I'll order here and just give up the $5 downpayment I sent to gamestop. Long live TL
|
Preordered already from Amazon a few weeks ago. Too soon did I cave!
O well, this is still pretty cool. Go into the money void you many beta-key beggers, and preorder! For TL!
|
If we knew about this affiliation sooner, I'm sure alot of us would've ordered there.
but as it stands, i (and i assume most of us) already pre-ordered when stores started mass giving away beta keys.
|

ordered. it took a while, but I finally caved.
|
Already pre-ordered :/ Might order as a gift though :D
|
It's shall be done! now all I got to do is find my credit card...
|
Ordered through you guys , hope it helps!
|
Would have loved to pre order like this, but unfortunately amazon have stopped shipping to SA due to our poor postal service!
Would have loved a raffle entry for that uber nerd TL shirt!!
|
been a lurker for ages and now i have a chance to be apart of the community again
thanks TL it is done
|
Too bad it doesn't ship to Sweden 
If it does ship here in the future i might pre-order.
|
It would be nice if you could include mail shipping to all other countries.
|
|
I'm really sad now that I sold my soul for a beta key and preordered :/
|

Hmm i think that I need to order a copy lol
|
Even though I have a pre-order I will definitively try to do this for the collector's edition, I might buy both editions lol I'm such a nerd
|
Awesome offer, I have a question though(may sound terribly noob)
Once the German amazon links are available, is SC2 automatically in german, or does SC2 offer multilanguage support? I'd definitely want an english version, but living in Germany kinda makes that a problem ¬¬
|
mmmmmm, I love when my procrastination pays off! Now I will feel like I am contributing to something when I purchase the game! Thanks TL for making my SC life complete
|
I really wish you'd put this up like, 3 months ago.
|
I really would but I am getting it at midnight.
|
so thats how i get my sc2 copy...and suddenly it all makes sense
|
WINGED HORSE SHIRTS BACK IN STOCK?
|
I pre-ordered a CE three weeks ago. It costed 100 dollars, with a 10 dollar min preorder. The receipt also printed me two beta keys. However a friend of mine says he did the same thing, but only received one beta key.
|
Shipments to Mexico plz! D:
|
If you guys can get the collector's edition I will pretty much for sure order btw
|
Just bought one. Will they automatically email me the beta key?
|
Hi! Looks like a great initiative?
What about us Europeans, namely me, i'm Danish.
Also what will the money go to, server costs i presume?

|
ahh, anyone know if cancelling a pre-order from bestbuy is free of charge so I can pre-order from TL? (I'm in canada btw)
|
Its to bad this was put up after game stops preorder for a beta key 
I'll try and get my friends to preorder through here though

If there is a way to do that in switzerland I'll do that.

awesome! and please add to the post that even though you order it online, you can get it delivered on the day it comes out!:
Get it the day it comes out! Pre-order and select Release-Date Delivery at checkout.
|
yea I havent preordered yet. I don't mind doing it thru tl as long as I'm getting it the same day everyone else.
|
done and done. TL HWAITING
|
Fuck yes I will buy from the best starcraft community, and in my opinion greatest gaming community, on the internet. Are you kidding me?
I was dreading having to go through the dumbasses at gamestop, now I definitely won't bother with that =)
|
I would purchase... If I didn't live in Denmark and had allready brought mine from Blockbuster.
Anyways, hope TL will make something great out of what they get! TSL 3 anyone ? ;D
|
god damnit already ordered.. too bad
exceptional thing though
|
i'm suprised at how this hasn't come up much earlier. most of us would have definitely got it from TL. i know i will
|
Haven't read the whole thread, but if this could somehow work for me in Australia I'd definitely consider it.
|
I've already pre-ordered, but I'd like to express my sentiment regarding donations. I don't feel that having a donation link is in anyway wrong for you guys. At this point, I don't think anyone worth being a TL member would express distaste if you guys just had the OPTION of donating money. I figure put it below the Liquidpoker link in the lower right. The average TL user may not ever even notice to be honest, but it would give people who WANT to contribute something a way to do so.
I for one would be happy to chip in 5 or 10 dollars to TL. It'd be a small price to pay for the hundreds of hours I've spent watching your streams and vods.
Poll: Should TL have a donation link somewhere?Yes, if kept unobtrusive (23) 55% Yes, definitely (9) 21% No, I feel it's bad for the site's image (8) 19% No (2) 5% 42 total votes Your vote: Should TL have a donation link somewhere?

There's a liquid poker link? Just goes to show you that if you put a small link, the people looking for it, will find it, those who are not, won't notice it at all. I think it's a fine idea. Personally, I feel even a small paypal donate button below where the IRC information is on the home-page wouldn't be obtrusive either, but a hyperlink at the bottom is fine.
Also, no love for colelctor's edition? I haven't pre-ordered yet, I do want the collector's edition, so if you guys are able to promote it (possible link for CAN below), I would definitely be willing to do order with it. + Show Spoiler +http://www.amazon.ca/ACTIVISION-020626728362-Starcraft-Collectors-Edition/dp/B003H4R2GQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1274252677&sr=1-1

Was just about to pre-order when I saw this thread. Least I can do for the all the hours I've spent not doing work on here.
|
|
Just ordered mine. The release date delivery is cool.
I'm curious though, how will we prove that we ordered through that link in order to be put in the raffle? A TL shirt would be pretty sick.
|
Id be more than happy to do this small feat for the Gosu's here running TL. You guys deserve it! <3

+1 on the collectors edition!
super excited for this :D
|
Was planning on pre-ordering it this friday... But if this was available in Sweden..!
|
Will definitely order once a UK link is up. I'm not really interested in the Collector's Edition though, so if there's an option to get the standard version, I'd prefer that.
|
I will absolutely buy through teamliquid!

Will you ship the original Version to Germany, or just the german one? Cut Version, thanks to Blizzards marketing strategy and Lousy dubbing. Rly, no one in Germany wants to buy THAT. Guess I´ll just order from th UK link when it´s up....
|
I definitely want an English version shipped to Germany, too. Playing Zerg in the German version would be infinitely annoying.
|
We'll have both a German link and a UK link (where you can order and ship to Germany) up in a minute 
edit: Added the links. UK ships to:
United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales), Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland (Republic of), Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden.

Isn't it possible to add the game to your bnet-account once u received the game and just download the english client?

Will do that for france !
|
as always, asians are left out... =/
|
Canceling your pre-order to get a different pre-order for the exact same price seems like such an awful thing to do. If you want to give TL.net money you can probably just donate some money to them, not treat a store as expedient.

It's such a shame you can't keep comments like these to yourself.
Sorry TL =( I already preordered from gamestop and I can't retract my order since I got a beta key from them!

Done ! TL 4 life
|
I've always wondered how TL could stay up with so few ads. I will definitely do this.

Yeah - The collector's edition is like 100$~ -- Unfortunately I have already pre ordered mine but I will be sure to pass along the link to my friends and co-workers. Cheers~!

Man, will defiantly order through this. Going to get the game anyway, and it would be awesome to support TeamLiquid.net while I'm at it. I still wonder how you guys manage to run a site with this much traffic without hitting a lack service wall (must be because of R1CH and his wizardry).
|
I will order this via teamliquid, you definately deserve it! 
(let's hope I get a t-shirt)
|
Great, going to do this very soon
|
Awesome! Of course I am going to preorder through TL 
On a side note, what are the benefits that German players will get to justify the highest price of all countries? Maybe the screwed up/missing hotkeys, or is it the shitty translations? Well, I am going to get the UK version. English is a cooler language anyway :p

Maybe it's worth noting that a few weeks ago I was on amazon and the Collector's addition was offered for the normal $100, but now it reads $299.99.
I have no idea what would have caused this change.
I'd like to order via TL--we'll see when I figure out where my permanent address will be.

Purchased. Suddenly the decision of which place to buy from seemed easy. =)

Omg those shirts are awsome! can i get one of those in some other way? :p

great idea
long live TL.net

Just need to click on the link and preorder right? If so then it is done!

I would totally do this if i didn't get a discount for working at Gamestop =/

definitely will do it through tl

very good idea. I'll be part of it ! thx for the french link.

It's 20 € extra via Amazon.uk for me, but what I wouldn't do for you guys, preordered

Can you buy that shirt anywhere? It's awesome.
|
It cannot be shipped to Ukraine  I don't want russian edition!

Will be ordering my collectors edition through this

i pre ordered a week ago :3

=(
I ordered like 3 weeks ago for the beta key. I hope you do the same with the expansions, I'll definitely order from TL.
|
hah, just the opportunity i waited for.
tl for ever!

done
|
Done also.
Europeans get a beta key too right?
|
I would be amazingly keen if it were possible. New Zealand is just too far away from anywhere for anybody to take any notice of us it seems

I WOULD WAY RATHER MY MONEY GOES TO FUTURE SHOP THAN TL
just kidding ^___^;;;; will be ordering, such a good idea amazon ty so much for supporting the SC scene

Oh that's great I couldn't decide whether to buy SC2 or ignore it until they do b.net properly, but if that helps TL... what could be a better motivation
|
Will def order through you guys. 
Thanks TL!
|
funny how amzon.de likes to scam everybody charging them extra money if youre stupid enough to order from them...around 10% cheaper in france and even more so if you order from the uk (55€ vs. 45€ incl. the extra shipping costs). considering you will probably have to deal with the german version the first time until you can download the english one from battle.net not a tough choice to make.
question: will europe orderers get the funky shirt as well? i really want that t-shirt :x (man, free stuff is so awesome)
|
Wow! This is great!
I think I'll get the 60 for the normal as my birthday present then cover the rest for collectors. I've never been one for collectors, but Blizzard knows how to work me like a doll T_T
|
Done deal, just purchased it.
|
I'd order it instantly through you but amazon does not ship to Shanghai China >.<
I am still not sure how to get the game here.... guess I'll have to ask a friend in Hong Kong
|
erm, is it true that amazon.co.uk does NOT deliver to germany? Only to UK?
I want the english version..........

too bad, im too late

Already ordered it about 2 and a half years ago (I know, lol), but I'm canceling that order and ordering through this. Good initiative!

I knew there was a reason I held out on pre-ordering..
Are you guys going to keep this open after the release? I want the CE but I'll be traveling during the release so I don't want it shipped anywhere yet.
|
Awesome...good thing I haven't pre-ordered it yet. Got a question though: how long will this amazon deal last for you guys? Do I need to hurry up with my order?
|
It should always stay around. We're just an affiliate so whatever product we link to can be bought through us. Probably after a while we'll add it to the store top right.
|
Oh man definitely ordering this way, great idea.
|
So I went ahead and ordered and stuff, but, uh, where's the beta-key?
|
i wish this would of been posted earlier @_@ i think tl.net missed out on tons of money that it could be recieving
|
so where do i click if im from sweden and just want sc2 without the pets and the bags and the tshirts? then id definitely order it from there
|
Do any of those links deliver to Taiwan?
|
|
I knew there was a reason I hadn't pre-ordered!
Will you just one type of TL shirts, or will other prints be added too? (Like the ones in the contest a long time ago.)
Either way I'm definitely getting the one in OP.

i didnt order it yet so will do asap

Good idea A free way to help the site...always nice to do

Possibly, I got an auto-confirmation mail, confirming (obviously) my order, but no key, so it looks like it might take a little while.

They definitely ship games to germany. I got all my PC and PS3 games from amazon.co.uk. However recently they seem to have stopped shipping games that are indexed or banned in germany. (without any legal obligation to do so, btw.) I tried that with left 4 dead 2 and wolfenstein and in both cases i got "... cannot be shipped to the selected address." when placing the order. That didn't happen when I ordered SC2 so I'm pretty sure it'll work.
|
Dam it, this should have been done a while back when every1 wanted a beta key. I ordered mine already with gamestop.
|
I've got a couple of friends who haven't bought the game yet but are planning on doing so. I'll be sure that they order through here!

I'm pretty sure amazon.co.uk don't give beta keys with SC2 preorders, it's just amazon.com

if amazon wouldnt have worst delivery rates and time dates.. i can order from game.co.uk.. and get shiped across europe usually in 4 days , 3-5 days period.. for 3 quids.. from amazon it cost 8, and 8-11 days delivery... seriously? it might have cheaper price for such games diablo 3 or wow cataclysm.. while same for sc2 , ( game had cheaper sc2 couple weeks ago ) , with game i atleast know i will get game on release day, or day after.. not this 2 weeks after crap.. ( both of them ships from uk too.. go figure )

It doesn't? Can anyone confirm? Because if they don't TL should consider specifying so in the main post. :/

I will order it as soon as I have enough minerals and gaz in real life (i m empty at the moment, you know girlfriend and stuff).
|
|
Are we going to get a Collectors edition link for Canada? Amazon.ca has it @ $109.99 atm.
|
If you already ordered at Amazon does the money still get routed back to TL?
or does it HAVE to be the link?

who the hell gives european beta keys out then?

I've just ordered the collector's edition from amazon.co.uk. It's even cheaper with shipping than buying it here in Germany and I can be sure it's uncut

damn i totally would have done this if i hadn't pre-ordered already to get a key. Do this earlier for SC3!!
|
2 collector editions ordered (I already had beta keys before, lucky me!)

I suddenly realised I hadn't pre-ordered the game yet when I saw this thread. I probably would've got it off amazon.co.uk anyway so I'm glad I saw this thread before I ordered

Actually, I ordered my collector's edition of SC2 from Amazon (US) about a month ago- that's how I got into the beta. Maybe they're run out of anticipated stock? They haven't canceled my order...
|
is there anyway to order the collectors edition throuh you guy i will do it that way if i can but if not ima have to use a local store i want the dogtag flash drives.
|
i bought my key like yesterday
|
BTW what do you think about an option of selling few hundreds copies to netwars.pl or someone Polish? It has to be in English though :D
|
Damnit, I already bought mine. If there is anyway to return my copy and do this instead, I would.
|
how much will it cost to ship sc2 from UK to poland? anyone knows? or anyone knows where i can check it?
|
I already ordered it ages ago :/
|
sc2 CE is $ 300 ??? i look for USA an says $299.98 T_T
|
I'm so mad I already pre-ordered it  I can just hope everyone who have not ordered yet, to do so form here !
|
I want to pre-order here and support the community, but I'm not sure about Amazon.ca, Do Canadian Customers get a beta key sent out to them? How does that happen? Do I need to do anything special when ordering?

I'll buy collector's edition through your page if possible. Else I will camp the stores for a night and get it that way ^^.

or does it HAVE to be the link? As far as I know, it has to be the link. We actually get referral dollars for any product you purchase through that link even if it's not SC2. We're obviously not going to ask our users to make all their Amazon purchases through us, but we're not going to stop you if you choose to do that 
Additionally, for all those people wondering, if you already ordered, it's fine. We don't expect you to go back and cancel and re-order through us or something. Its just a dollar or two back to TL per order, and it's not like TL is going to crash if you don't go through some annoying cancel-reorder procedure.
Basically, don't feel bad if you didn't order through us. Of course, we appreciate anyone that does, but don't feel like there's some obligation or pressure, that's not our intent at all. We just figured, if you're going to buy the game anyway, it really doesn't negatively impact you and can marginally help us.

I just ordered this. I'll do what I can to help! I'm so hyped for this.

Hm, I have already pre-ordered and paid for my Collectors Edition from elsewhere
|
This is the best pre-order bonus ever. I get to support TL.net
Almost as good as the mini-thor pet <3
|
Once I pre-order I will do this.
|
already preordered through gamestop. only put $5 down though...considering ordering through here anyway
|
Will there be an option for international users as well? 
Edit: I see you are working, so dont pay attention
|
My only issue with preordering from TL.net's Amazon referral is the time taken for Amazon.co.uk to actually ship the copies; every time I've ordered a game from Amazon has taken > 1 week after release to be shipped, whereas when I order from game.co.uk, I normally get it the day before release.

They definitely ship to Germany, I use to order all my games from the UK since it's cheaper most of the time. Even with the shipping.
The downside to is that it could take one or two days longer to arrive and you may not have it on release. :E

when I try to preorder it says 36,33 O_o
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (Mac/PC CD) £36.33 - Quantity: 1 - Available for pre-order Condition: New Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.
How should I understand this? Is this with shipment cost included?
|
As a matter of curiosity, will you be updating us on how the sales via the site are going? I assume you can track it.
|
Awww I already pre-ordered and paid in full -_-
sorry guys
|
|
so if i wanna get the english version but live in germany i can just use the UK link?
|
will it arrive at the same time its available at stores? or will ppl who line up for them get it before me
|
now i wish I didn't pre-order from gamestop =[. I would have loved to help support you guys...
|
I would like to buy a UK-version (live in Germany) via TL. shipping seems possible but does anyone know about implications/problems concerning compatibility or else?
|
Is there any way for us in Germany to buy the collectors addition through a German based company? I'd rather not have to pay for it in pounds via amazon.co.uk. German amazon only has the regular version.
|
|
ya i am definitely gonna be ordering through here this sounds great! just gotta wait for the collectors edition is all!
Thanks for everything TL(been lurking for a LONG time!)
|
Sold!
Err, I mean...Bought!
|
|
Good thing I did not pre-order before. Done and hoping for a TL-Shirt (nerds unite!)
|
I REALLY wish you guys done this much earlier .
Gamestop wont let me cancel my subscription of course , but I will definitely link all my friends who are buying the game to this, of course I'm going to steal that shirt too if they win it :D
|
|
Will when it gets to around a month till beta and with release day shipping since I want to compare prices to find the best one and if its not TL then I'll order some other game through you guys.
edit: but THANK YOU anyways! I always wanted a way to donate money to TL.net, and now I get something in return too! ^^ TEAM LIQUID ROCKS!
|
Good looking out TL, will give it a go once I get more funds into my account.
|
Just made my order, I've been with this community for one hell of a long time, and I can atleast say that I am damn proud to have stuck with this game and all of you. I know you'll put these bucks to good work.
|
Ordered it for austria through the TL link. Have fun with how many money that gives you
|
This is great :D to bad its months too late. I preordered a year ago
|
So i can't order this way in mexico ???? = ( that makes me sad, i have like 4 ppl that would like to preorder
|
preordered from amazon.co.uk but didn't get a beta key. I called them up and they say that there are no promotions tied to sc2 preorders :S
|
why in the world does it say: "by Activision"
As far as I'm concerned I'd like to keep the name Activision as far away from stuff made by blizzard as humanly possible.
|
Will this TL affiliation with Amazon and SCII always be there or is this a limited time thing? I don't have the money and time to order the game right now, but when I do I'd prefer to get it from TL to support the site! If there is a collectors edition I'd probably just order right away tho :S

I have already pre-ordered (sadly), but I have a friend who was thinking about ordering through TL for helping the community and getting a beta key. However, after looking on the site and reading through the comments section it appears Amazon (US) may be out of keys too. I saw this in the comments:
I ordered on May 13th and emailed customer support today and quickly got a response. They said that they are no longer offering the beta keys. I am not sure how this applies to people who ordered before May 13th, but after it I'm pretty sure that they don't offer it.
Just trying to point it out. I am not sure if its true, but might need verification or investigation.

If that's the case I'll edit out the beta key thing completely. Sorry to anyone who pre-ordered in the last 24 hours to play the beta in this next week -- we really didn't think they ran out, as I ordered one just the other day and received a key for it (which I happy gave away to TL).
|
I was waiting for something to settle which site I pre-ordered from... Used your link to order through Amazon UK!
|
I pre-ordered through TL.net and I allready have a key - no harm done.
|
Will do! This will get me to actually pre-order SC2, not just thinking about it.
|
I convinced two friends order through here instead of GameStop to help support you guys, but they didn't get keys from Amazon. Now I feel like an ass and an idiot because now they don't get keys were they could have somewhere else and they feel really cheated.
I think you should really put the point across that you DO NOT get a key with this, it will stop a lot of people from thinking they will get a key and getting screwed and thinking it's your fault.

Sorry about that, Amazon was giving out keys until a few days ago, apparently.

Can the three of us Bahraini users order from Amazon.uk at one go ? (Ive got a PO Box there thats forwarded to me). Would u guys count it as 3 separate purchases, hence we each get a chance to get that TL Shirt !

They will be available for purchase as well. We will be ordering them very soon, once we make sure the size and color specifications are correct. We ordered a test one made and are just waiting to verify its quality.

Ermm... how come there are £10 off the UK version? It's for £35 pounds, with free shipping to the UK. I might actually buy that one and pay for shipping (still probably less than the 50euro total) so I can get the game cheaper AND get the box in English as an added bonus.
I'll definitely be buying from these links though.
I'm just curious, but may I ask how much amazon is willing to to give back to TL for each box sold through that link? Does the amount per box scale depending on the total number? I'd love to know how much this threads brings in, if that isn't confidential info of course.

I'd guess TL makes ~$2-3 off each purchase.
edit: The exact %s are on the Amazon affiliate page if you're curious.

done glad that i could help
GIVE ME THE SHIRT!!!!
|
I will support this beautiful site
|
Man... if only you'd done this a couple of weeks ago. Already bought from Amazon. T-T
|
Aww this sucks... I already pre-ordered from GameStop. My greedy ass wanted an extra key! LOL but I think I might order the regular copy(or 2) through TL and use it as a gift to someone........
...or to make a smurf account so I can game in peace when I don't want anyone hitting me up with: "Wanna run some 2's?"
Lol I think that makes sense since Blizz won't implement an "Invisible" feature (Kinda like AOL or Yahoo messengers where you can sign in unnoticed!) or even "Do-Not-Disturb" in-game option ^^
|
|
I already ordered
|
I think I'll buy a shirt too. Are you guys planning on coming up with any other designs? I'll definitely buy more if they become available! I actually like quite a few handsome nerd shirts.......
SC/SC2/TL gear ftw!!! ^^
|
I most definitely intend on doing this, as I've yet to pre order the game. I'm glad you guys are doing this.
|
hmm when i wanted to check out amazon said it will cost me 49 pounds, minus 15 if i use their crappy card which i need to order separately, and i bet there is a ton of strings attached to it. I checked few other sites and the price there is 36 pounds so... yea.
|
I'll definitely do this within the next 8 days
|
Done 
<3
|
I would have ordered it from you guys but i've already put down $80
But i'll donate $20 for one of those shirts :D
edit: just read that they will be fore sale :D :D
|
well i woul preorder but with my main acc
PS: u permbanned my mainacc because i write something about ret that i not expected him win the courage or anything like that no flame and twisted permbanned me there

I guess it's the VAT (value added tax) which they add lateron in the UK (or on amazon.co.uk, dunno).
Just a guess :D

Well I ordered form Amazon.ca...and I did not get a key! Such a scam.
|
I'll order from Amazon once they have the collector's edition back in stock!
|
Wasn't the CE a limited-run? I don't think it will be back in stock .
|
What happened to the new TL shirts?
|
i already preordered for £30.
£35 is a ripoff.
|
Update ofr Canadians out there: I called Amazon.ca and they say there is a 6 business day wait for the Beta Key. Considering the Beta is apparently almost done, I immediately canceled my order.

I would gladly support TL but i'm not sure about supporting Blizzard... Not 100% convinced by the beta yet.
But if i end up buying the game it will be here.

This? Can we get a special link to this. I want to buy it right away but I want to make sure TL gets a chunk.

Shippings to Mexico por favoor! (please D Me wantz to support plz

I'm looking forward to a possible shirt more than SCII

Possible to order to Australia? Couldn't find an answer.

|
Is there anyway to confirm that a particular user did or did not pre-order through the referral link?
I find myself with an extra key to give away after receiving one from the kind folks at TL a while back and getting another one recently via preorder at Gamestop, and rather than hold some annoying contest, I figure I could give it away to someone who preordered for TL but didn't get a key.
Would this be possible?
|
If I didn't already pre-order I definitely would have helped out. : (
|
I wanna get my game the second it's released, not wait 2 or 3 days for it to ship to me
|
Most places (including Amazon) offer release-day shipping, meaning it's shipped so it arrives on release day. Also the digital download is going to be delayed until after release apparently.
|
Hope u could ship to mexico
|
Canceled my Amazon pre-order and re-pre-ordered through the link provided.
Thanks for the heads-up!
|
i'll come back when there's a collector's link :3
|
Amazon as far as I know, doesn't ship to Brazil(which is ironic considering the Amazon forest is actually here.) I'd totally buy it otherwise.

I'd have to wait until around 6 pm for the UPS truck to come, but it's still not bad for me to order through amazon. No tax when I order through amazon and I get to support TL.

I have bought tons of books thro amazon shipped to Brazil
But I just wont be able to wait for 2-3 weeks for my copy to arrive, ill prolly get someone from the US to buy it for me and give me the cd key and DL on torrent
or if someone offer a digital DL with emailed key offer ill buy that
|
so should i be waiting for the CE to be back in stock or should i just preorder regular ed?
|
|
I wonder if Blizzard will have a digital download available for purchase on July 27th, shipping to Chile is terrible.
|
just ordered - so how do I get that awsome TL.net t-shirt? ^^
|
order placed thank you sooo much team liquid for all the countless hours of starcraft related entertainment you have provided me over the years.

They ship books, they don't ship electronic products according to some misguided policy, Gamestop does however. and you don't need torrent, you can probably register in the Battle.net site to download the client directly from them. I'm intending on doing so as well, it's pretty screwed up as it is right now. Gamestop didn't deliver the game in a different address from the credit card owner though -_-'
|
Ordered, looking forward to the esports scene hopefully growing and gaining support on all levels in the weeks, months and years after SC2's release.
Wish I pre-ordered it a few months ago when it was £24.99 instead of £34.99 that it is now though :D
|
|
If I get a relative in the US to order the game and send me the CDkey, can I download the full game through battle.net?

Pre-ordering tomorrow. It's nice that we can buy SC from amazon and contribute a little to TL.

You'll have to register the game on battle.net either way and they have a downloader for every other game they have on there, so I suppose yes either way they said they'll made it available by digital download on battle.net blizzstore, so you'll be able to it MIGHT take a little while though, not 100% certain if it'll be available from the get-go but I'm sure you'll be able to do that.
|
Shit I already pre-ordered back at the beginning of May. Sorry guys :/
|
Just ordered from your link through Amazon!
|
Done
|
|
This is the least awesome news EVER, and wasn't a great read. Allthough it says alot more about all your other news than this one ofc ^_^
|
where is the collectors edition?!
|
|
Sorry I'm not going to order online, but to help you guys I've clicked the ads
|
Shoot, I've already pre-ordered mine. Couldn't resist when they started including beta keys with them!
|
will do it for the sequels
|
|
anyone know if the us collector's edition will be up for its regular price?
|
I've never pre-ordered a game before. If I pre-order through amazon, will it arrive on my doorstep on July 27th, or will it ship out on July 27th (meaning it wont actually reach my doorsteps until a couple days later)? Assuming it doesn't get lost in transit and whatnot.
|
I just wanted to add a small suggestion, could you add to the thread an amazon search box with the TL affiliate id?
I'm saying that cause some people would like to get BW, or other SC related merchandise not necessarily SC2. It'll be nice to be able to search for an item, buy it and help TL in the process.
it is thanks to TL that I learned to really appreciate this game so if I buy anything, especially SC related, I'd like TL to earn a little from it.

Hey - i would love to order through teamliquid but at the link regards ordering to UK and rest of Europe there are no informations about shipping to other countries that UK. I am Polish and i would like to know how it would be for shiping.

Damn, I ordered at Amazon already. But, how long will you have the link up? I want to order a copy for my gf, I just have to decide if I want another collector's edition, or a standard copy.
|
If I preorder this through amazon will I get this release day ?
|
are they selling the collectors edition anywhere still?

The last time I preordered something online, I got it the day before. ^_^
So I just click off the link and add to cart?

I just preordered it (even though I preordered from bestbuy, bought another one)
Does this come with beta key too?

Ugh i bought it off Amazon but like you said R1ch they arnt offering the Beta code If anyone has a spare could you please message me it? Would really appreciate it cheers
|
Boom. Ordered it from Prague. So excited.
|
I ordered mine last week from this link and was waiting for my beta key to come via email and nothing came... so I checked here and found the sad news
|
why no collector's edition in us?

Bought two.

Shit, I just now came to order the collectors edition but it seems its already sold out in the UK? Anyone know if I've missed my chance for good now? Just wish I had ordered it straight away when I saw this thread, kinda got distracted ¬¬
|
Just bought mine through TL, yay
|
Consider it done.
My birthday is July 27th!
|
this thread could use a reference in the starcraft 2 section i was looking all morning for it there...
|
lol how come the french one is cheaper than the german one?
|
I won't be buying it, but if I decide to do so it'll be through TL.
|
Sorry TL, cancelled my pre-order.
|
I want to buy it from Brazil!
|
sry if this question has been asked and answered before, but why is the german version 5 € more expensive than the french one? sry, but im positive to find a way to buy it for 50€ in a local retail shop....
|
I'll definitely be buying from here and I'll tell all my rl friends to as well. I'm happy to help TL in anyway I can. I've got a question, even though the collector's edition is sold out it says "Sign up to be notified when this item becomes available.". Does this mean it'll be available before release? If not, I guess I'll just purchase the regular one.
|
i would love to buy here too but uh, amazon isn't doing collectors edition or something? :x
|
[edit: doh..didnt see someone already ask the same q regarding expected arrive date.. lol ]
Definitely gonna get it thru TL then!
|
I wanted to, but unfortunately Amazon does not deliver goods to my country.
|
i am from india and have been playing the beta...but there is no place for me to preorder the game ...could anyone please help me on that??
|
I'll order SC2 from you guys once i'm ready to buy.
|
It's so outrageous to charge £6 for p&p to Spain! Otherwise I would be getting it
|
I'd have done this except for the fact that I am going to be at the front of the line upon midnight release at local gamestop.
|
If I had only known about this I would have ordered from TL
|
Done. But I really want to buy one of those TL-Shirts! Do i get it somewhere now?
|
edit: whoops, found the size chart tab

Hey, if you guys are going to do something exclusive for Spain it would be nice to know, since I'm going to pre-order soon and I would like to contribute to the site (and the shipment costs of amazon.uk are terrible).

Good question If I could find an Asian server version with English language support I'd pre-order it right now.

just ordered. didn't realize release was so soon! <3 U TL
|
Just ordered, finally made up my mind and decided that I can stop boycotting Activision for a while.
|
Gotta love the release date delivery! Use my $1-2 well TL
|
How about an answer on the Australia (SEA) question? Why not support SEA?
|
|
|
|
Done. Having it delivered to work, should make for interesting conversation.
Happy to support the community in this little way.
Go release date delivery !
|
Done. Release day delivery is legit; gogo shirt raffle.
|
Release day delivery wooo! Gotta support the community I love.
|
Just bought my copy from you guys. I love TL. Every one should do the same
|
I could have saved the $6 shipping cost by picking it up in stores and I probably won't even have time to play it at launch but I saw this thread and couldn't help it, I've got to support TL!
Teamliquid forever!
|
Just ordered through TL yesterday. Combined with my Amazon Student account, it was seriously the best place to order! No tax, free release date shipping, and got to support TL. Best...purchase...ever
|
If you pre-order from here when can you long after midnight can you expect to recieve it? Within 24 hours?
EDIT: read surrounding posts -_-'
|
Just ordered through the amazon link, i also picked release day arrival i hope they are right!

I can't find any Australian/Malaysian stores selling it either.

My mother refuses to let me pre-order it, soo gay. It costs 535 SEK on Amazon and to buy it in stores here will be almost double that. -_-

After reading your post I thought "Jeez, I think I might change my shipping to release day arrival as well." Just did it and it's apparently only a $1 to $2 more. Definitely worth it to me as the standard shipping would arrive a week later.
|
If i wasn't going to the midnight release, I so would have ordered here :\ TL ftw!
|
glad to chip in a little for the community we all love. Since Amazon is paying the bills, why not?
|
Just ordered via TL. RESPECT
|
Just out of curiosity (I'll order here anyway): Do you still get money out of it, or was it just during the preorder-time? And did the German version really only cost 39 Euros, as said in your store? It's 50 Euros on Amazon now... :.(
|
just ordered via teamliquid. glad to contribute
|
What about for SEA!??? A lot of my buds are interested...
|
nice! maybe my friend will order some
|
Just made a post about Amazon's B2G1 sale ($55.99 * 2 / 3 = $37.33/copy), and I was trying to edit the post to include TL's affiliation code when it got closed. Make sure you use the link from the OP to help TL.
|
might try to get a few friends to order from here- does TL still get some proceeds for orders?
|
@silver_fox, as long as you use the link from the OP or the store page. The URL has the tealiq-20 tag. I think that's what gives them credit.
|
I finally ordered sc2. Of course over the teamliquid store
|
Do you guys provide digital copies? I want to get an EU account and might use my pops credit card then just pay him in cash...
|
For HOTS if we order through TL do we get a beta key?
|
I would really like to buy it through TL but I'm interested in digital copy only. Will it be available? Will it be possible to get it for EUR instead of GBP? I mean EU account.
