just finished downloading

Also you can look at the manual from the installer, there is some cool art and the whole backstory leading up to the game.

I predict that the servers will be a disaster day 1, we will see if anyone gets to play.

Hopefully most will be playing the campaign and not completely hammer the servers. I hope the authentication servers will work well on lunch week.

To all,

From me, it is just as the retail version. I think you can use a retail key to play it.
How? Simple as they said, after installing (not before 27th July) just click Skip instead of Activate (where you will buy the license). After just Add your product key... et voila... After in the game just login with your bnet account with a SC2 license.
The activate fonction (or the link they put) is only if you want to buy the key digitally.

For whether the website is legit or not, lol, I discover the website when clicking on Community from the beta in game menu... so not worry here.

The log info looks like that

I am just happy so I can use the EU key I preorder while beeing in SEA (my Parents are in France).

Found the ladder link, you need to login and goto your own profile I think.

Anyway, here is a link to my division.

I certainly hope the activation time is confirmed from net or something... or people could just go and set their computer's clocks to 27th, hell if that'd work it'd be hilarious.

Going to check which local stores will end up having it, might go for the digital though, since going back and forth would probably take more time.

I would do this if I hadn't already preordered a hard copy (hooray for finding old giftcards while cleaning). Love the new site though!

Tried that already, also cut of my internet connection and this came up

So it checks the date from the Blizzard servers.

UPDATE: Used a packet sniffer to see what the installer does, among other things it tries to get an auth code from a file on battle.net website.

http://eu.battle.net/static/mediakey/sc2-authenticationcode-enGB.txt

Atm this only says "MSG:27/07/2010" , it will probably change on launch the with the code it requires.

In the meantime it seems the E from the .MPQE file extension stands for encrypted, as it can't be opened with any conventional MPQ viewer.

That's what I've managed to find out so far, so you won't be able to install SC2 without hacking the installer.

Tweet from Blizzard's official Starcraft 2 Twitter account:
The New StarCraft II Site beta is Live and is available for testing by all current #SC2 beta participants.Check it out!

I guess this seals the question about the site being illegit.
