Q: How much will Heart of the Swarm cost?
A: We typically don't provide details about pricing until the game is closer to release. We do view Heart of the Swarm as an expansion set, so for the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, we will price accordingly. For other regions that have alternative business models, we’ll provide details at a later date.

[small]Pre-orders can be cancelled prior to shipping. Box art is concept only. Pre-order is for US only, collector's edition and other countries will be added as they become available.


How much clearer do you want it? In big 90 font letters in Teamliquid horse letters with fireworks around the words "This is Amazon's typical Pre-Order practice. They always put the prices at a retarded maximum so that when the price does come out people never think 'Oh shit, I thought it was only going to be 20 bucks and now it's 60.'?"


Jesus Christ, this is like a Live Reply thread. OP whine, Blizzard whine, everything. Hell, I think I might have found some balance whine somewhere in here.

And I'll definitely be pre-ordering once I get some money, lolol. USA college students are always as broke as we can be without straight up starving. :S

You and Liquid`Nazgul can rant about this all you want, point remains that people will misunderstand the post regarding release date and sell price. you could fix it by making it more clear or just ignore it and call people idiots. Your choice.


How do you want us to make it clearer though? Like I implied in my reply, there's really no other way. R1CH said it clear as day in the quote I linked. How else do you want it? You're complaining, but not offering any solutions.

Is it not clear because you have to read to understand it? Is that it? Seriously trying to help here.

I really hope that this is closer to $40. Not that I care about the price; I'm one of the people who has been telling everyone that the price will be $40 and I don't want to look stupid.

Anyway, is it at all possible to order the CE version through TL? Guess you probably won't know until closer to the date. Did you have the CE version last time?
You know what unit really has balance problems? Colossi. Why, they look like they could be blown over in a stiff wind!

I think I'm going to pre-order via TL but I need to know the release date first so I know if I want to ship it to my house or my dorm...

How about adding Big red text at the top "RELEASE DATE NOT FINALIZED, SELLING PRICE IS A ESTIMATION FROM AMAZOM AND WILL CHANGE." ?

And to clarify: I actually understood, but I saw right away from the way the post was written that allot of people will miss it.

so they expect us to preorder a game without knowing the release date, the definite price, or the definite changes that are actually going to happen in the expansion? sounds LEGIT

Amazon gives you a digital code so you can direct download and preload ahead of time?

Gonna preorder once I know I have the cash, definitely gonna be through TL when I do. And for the record, reading the OP made it perfectly clear how the pricing system work. Maybe this is a good opportunity for people to learn good forum habits like reading.

After you receive the box you will be able to use the CD-key to download the game, so I think no is the answer to your question but I'm not quite sure what you mean.

You can enter the CD key included in the box into your battle.net account and download it from there.

Damn.
Oh well. I decided TL gives enough to me that I should give something back (other than buying a shirt to increase my apm while bulldogging)

Thank you, your order has been placed
