There's no midnight release in my city, so I'm gonna be at the FutureShop's door at opening time to grab a SC:CE.

I love my FutureShop for not taking in-store- pre-orders :3

Ordered mine from Gamestop with 1-day shipping. At least for myself, they've had a perfect record of getting new games to me the day they come out with this method.

Did anyone find it funny that there were no options for "Getting the game later" and "Not buying SC2"
With that said, I will be buying it midday July 27th

I'll pick it up sometime. But I doubt I'll get it within the first week. I'm probably going to be eating those words but I don't see myself buying it until at least August.

lol there's no option that says "Sometime in the future" the closest to that is "few days after launch"

I don't plan on getting SC2 anytime soon. I'm still playing Brood War on Iccup consistently... there's still a lot of BW players out there. I'll probably save some cash and just play out Iccup until it dies down and Proleague turns to SC2.

SC2 feels so different from BW... like two complete different games almost depressing.

Preordered from Amazon, it'll end up getting shipped here release date they said. Let's see if they stick to that.

IF you preorder it from gamestop for example, can you still pick it up at midnight.

Can you get it without preordering if you go at midnight.

Yeah, the poll is missing some interesting options. For myself: I am not going to buy it anytime soon. My computer won't run it and I don't have the money to buy a new one.

I assume there will be a way to buy it online and download it...

If they patch during phase 2 to make it so the game works on my PC again then I'll buy it. Otherwise I'll get it when they patch or I get a new PC. It really is retarded that a game that worked on here a month ago is so inconsistent and buggy now, but that's why I'm pretty sure it'll be fixed.

Two vote options are missing:

1) I won't buy it.
2) I will buy it when the price drops.(which is what I'll probably do for example)

I dont mean to offend you, but are you really that poor? $60 is very little money imo. A good Friday night out on the town can cost several times that much.

Getting it in the mail from amazon. Originally thought to just buy it at an ebgames but then I saw the amazon tl link and went for that instead <3. I'll be playing the campaign first too since I fully expect multiplayer to be buggy at release for about 2weeks->month.

Not going to get it right away. During the beta break, I realized how much better of a game Broodwar was, so I'll be sticking to that for a while.

Being rank 1 diamond felt so pointless. I don't get this system at all. Being C on icc actually shows how much I still need to improve.

I don't plan on buying it as it is now. Bnet 2.0 is a joke compared to what it should be after a decade long wait for SC2. Not to mention all of the other issues I am sure most of you already know about. The gameplay is solid enough and fun, but SC: BW is still vastly superior. It doesn't help that Blizzard is price gouging as well.

I suspect I'll buy the game at some point, probably when the SC2 battlechest comes out in a few years (I mean, what's another few years of waiting where SC2 is concerned?), or perhaps a bit sooner if I hear of significant improvements to Bnet 2.0 and if the gameplay also continues to improve ... or if my friends finally wear me down to the point I just have to buy it to play any games with them at all. Time will tell.

Delivered by Amazon. I'll be on vacation until the 30th though, so I'll have to miss out on approximately 72 precious hours of SC2-gaming.

There should be another option, like "other" because I won't be buying it soon. However I voted "after a few days", but by days I might mean months, or not buying it at all. If anything I'm looking forward to single player than I am with multiplayer. During the beta I found I wasn't as into the game as I imagined. I find myself always loading up SCBW though, so I guess I'm not done with SCBW. I am in no rush to play SC2.

Edit - I wouldn't be surprised to find myself buying SC2 when the first expansion comes out lol, which is what? in a years time?
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

I probably won't buy SC2 until I see changes that a lot of the community expect such as LAN, cross realm, etc. If there is a sale then I might consider getting it.

In about 6 years when we'll know if it's any good. I remember only getting into the multi-player of Starcraft 1 in 2004 - by that time, Boxer, NaDa and iloveoov were coming through and proving that Starcraft 1 is the greatest.

I doubt Starcraft 2 will have that effect.

I plan to get it on midnight of the store I pre-ordered from is opened. If not I don't mind getting it the next day, now the reason why I'm doing it because I pre-ordered the collectors edition and don't want the chance of them selling it to someone else. otherwise I would just go the next day.

Isn't there an official buy from the Blizzard Store/Battle.net option? Don't know if the game is available like that but wouldn't mind it as I love a service like Steam <3

Otherwise I'll just have to buy it somewhere (locally or online) and enter the CD-key to have it tied to my B.net account.

Same. Maybe I'm too old for this, I don't feel that old excitement for playing anymore. I'll just be watching VOD's, I doubt I'll ever play it.

I'll probably buy it sometime in the few months after release. The hype for SC2 has kind of worn off for me, so I'd rather get all my real life stuff taken care of before getting sucked into this =/

Yes despite Activision's blatant money-making schemes (fiasco of Bnet 2, no cross-realm support, no LAN, trilogy, etc etc), we don't know why we're bashing the game.

Or that the game you play will be losing all sponsorship as the SC2 scene devolops?

Beta tourneys are routinely generating 5k prize pools for a few game affair.

Blatant money making? What does that even mean? A company tries to make money? Terrible.

Hmm... Either way, nostalgia and great memories of a great game will not bring back something which cannot be revived. I only say this because while reading the responses of "cannot afford," "not until it's hacked," and "this watered down version of bw," I recognized the behavior of sentimentalists who, well...need to adapt a bit.

I preordered the digital key lol, it'll be e-mailed to me on the day.

So I chose "mailed to me" ^_^

Should be options for digital download and not buying.

IF you preorder it from gamestop for example, can you still pick it up at midnight.

Can you get it without preordering if you go at midnight.

Amazon.com release day delivery to my permanent address where I will not be living... should I rush over and pick it up (10 minute drive) when the mail comes or should I have a family member read the cd key to me??

I got mine pre-ordered but I won't be doing the midnight launch unless of course one of my IRL friends wants to go to it then I guess I might. Will get it first thing in the morning Jul 27.

Note - EB in Canada at least does midnight launches for pre-orders ONLY, you cannot just show up to it and buy a copy. I assume this is similar other places.

I'm actually just waiting for Blizzard to clarify this Latin America region thing.
When I entered the digital download site, my region was automatically set to Latin America and the only language options I got for the download was Portuguese or Spanish. But I don't want to play the translated version, I want the original one.
After setting the region to US, I got the option for the English language, but also a warning that if I download the game for a different region, I will be locked to that region.
So, that means that US and Latin America will be different regions, with different servers?
If so, will it be possible to play the English version of the game in the Latin American region? And what are the steps for that through digital download?

Preordered month ago. Hopefully the game will be sent to me the same day it comes to distribution. I hate translated games. Please Blizzard! Make a choice of language before installing.. and not bind the laguage with servers.

Only bad, inexperienced, nostalgiac, and/or squirrels say this.

It's like Windows Vista. Everyone bashed it without even knowing why. Because it was the 'thing' to do.

it's a game that attempts to profit from BW's success (which game makers are not responsible for, but korean culture), except they made it as simple as possible to attract as many people as possible (90+% of gamers are either bad or kids) like they did with WoW with only goal being making money off game sales, not long term endgame in professional scene that BW had. With game being so much easier, just about ANYONE with 3 digit iq can be be a sc2 pro, pro sc2 scene will never have the prestige pro BW one had

I got nothing against people making money, I'd do exactly the same thing I was them if I wanted to make as much money as possible, that doesn't change the fact that what I said in quoted post is true

Ordered my Collectors Edition from Amazon.co.uk, so it should arrive on 28th or 29th (shipping to Germany takes a bit longer), hopefully not longer. Can't wait to play the singleplayer campaign.

Where is the option "When Bnet 2.0 doesn't suck?"

Or alternatively, a few months after release day....or might not even bother!

Not for 60 dollars it isn't

If I'm doing it just for the story mode I'll be better off waiting for the two expansions to come out and just buy the inevitable battle chest.

For many of us SC2 is a multiplayer game or nothing at all. Sure the story is good and all but that'll keep me occupied for...a week? Maybe 2 if the campaign is exceptionally difficult(doubtful)?

SC didn't become what it is because of it's campaign :p
