Read before you post, for the love of god. The only thing that changes is that WoW players don't have to buy the game. Jesus.

oh man walmart still has CE? nice, imma order one.
but yeah, interesting move by blizzard. only digital copies eh? i wonder how effective it will be.

i'm curious on the statistics on games purchases in korea based on digital copy and retail game purchases. is there a big number difference? do koreas already purchase a lot of their games digitally? and whats the number of korean WoW subscribers?

What are you people talking about? How could this possibly be bad for Koreans?

If you want to buy the game ($59), you have unlimited access to battle.net.

If you want to play subscription based, you pay $10 a month, but don't have to buy the game. You can also play the game for one day for $2.

Blizzard donating ~600,000,000 won to the Korean Student Aid Foundation?

Free for WoW players?

Extra free open beta time at launch so everybody can try the game out?

I... I don't get it. Why is this bad again? Or do you guys just.. not read?

Why do people dislike digital download? I have enough CDs taking up space in my home.

Nothing wrong with digital download, but a lot of people like the CDs and the collectors edition stuff. I still have my Broodwar Beta CD and I'll never chuck it just because it's such a cool memento. Sometimes physical stuff is just nice to have. Obviously most people in Korea disagree. I won't say this stuff isn't a surprise but I guess Blizzard know what they're doing.

So, am I correct in assuming that Us/Eu will still get the adult version of the game?

when it comes to revenue, they know what they're doing. not so much the actual game/bnet anymore @ past levels of quality) apparently =S

Will Korean citizens still be able to import copies of the game from NA/US/EU if they want the collectors editions and hard copies of the game?

This looks really good, why are like half the people complaining? you guys really cant read...
I mean, there is nothing bad about more people starting SC2, even if they played WoW before, and the ones who wanted to buy the game as usual can still do that, and they dont have to pay a fee for bnet...

as far as packaged versions go.. i personally prefer digital downloads, i have a huge pile of CDs/DVDs here, and im happy if this doesnt get more.

I wouldn't mind if they added the option to pay only for your b.net 2.0 account to play both WoW and SC2. Can imagine why they aren't getting the collectors edition since it probably has too much content in there too that would be rated M for Mature in Korea.

Whatever the news, people will bitch about it because they don't read shit; it's really getting boring.

This is great for Koreans.

So what's in the T-rated edition?

It'll probably be a strange going from playing on regular adult version to watching pro matches on the T-rated version.

Successful professional Starcraft II players can earn a university scholarship from Blizzard, in addition to whatever salary/prize money they earn. Hoping... :D
