this is so awesome! I don't own the game but now I can watch replays instead of being spoiled by VODs. I <3 ESPORTS!

So that's what that was. It's a smart move to try and draw new players in, but I can't help feel blizzard has better things to address than putting together a starters pack like this. Please give your existing customers some love before trying to hook more in. T_T


I don't think you understand. This is the perfect thing needed to grow ESPORTS. Companies can distribute these starter packs to people who know nothing about computer games and show them why Starcraft 2 is so popular. Hopefully in turn those people will throw $ into ESPORTS!

Well, I appreciate the move by blizzard, now I can finally watch replays if I want to.
However, I do find it a little disturbing that blizzard still sells sc2 over battlenet for 60€!
I would've thought that battlenet was one of the cheaper places to buy it,
considering that they do not need to pay the upkeep of a store or packaging. :-/

The registration button to create account after entering all my information in and reading and accepting the terms of use won't let me click it. When I right click all I can do is copy it. It isn't an actual link. Help? =/

More description: I come to the registration page where I entered U.S. name email etc. But when it is all entered I see a faded green button to Create a battle.net account but no reason on the page for why it is faded and not letting me create one.

You can just create accounts and here will be SC2 Starter Edition in your games. It will auto-add to newly created accounts.

This is absolutely fenomenal, great initiative to get new players into the game! I like how the giant "free to play" wave is running through the industry at the moment.

This is great I can finaly introduce some of my friends into starcraft 2 although would it be that big a deal to put into the other races. I guess if you just want to introduce them to the game and mechanics it`s fine although I think all the demo was missing was the multiplayer but I still want lan :D

It´s great seeing blizzard trying to introduce new players into starcraft 2.

This is fantastic news! We can now try out the latency to other regions before buying, say, a TW account to play on TW-KR servers!

Great move by Blizzard. Always a step ahead of the curve.

Now if only they'd finally find the time to add the paid name change they promised a year ago...

If they would let play all the races for nothing then there would be too much content in the starter edition for free.
