Remember you can pre-order your copy through the TL store and help support Team Liquid! It's also an easy way to get a beta key!

No. You do not get a new copy of WoL.

That will come as part of the battle chest they'll be releasing AFTER HOTS releases. Blizzard always releases battle chests that combine the two versions together for cheaper than buying the titles separately. They've done this with every major title they've ever released.

http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/buy-now/digital-deluxe

You will not get the extra goodies (the skin, the pet, etc) for the battle chest price though. You get those when you order the Deluxe Edition which is just a copy of HOTS plus those toys.

I'd love to know what you think IS worth 40 dollars that's entertainment related.

I've blown more than the price of HOTS in a single night of drinking at a bar with my friends. I've blown a few times the price of HOTS on single date nights.

40 bucks for a game I'll be playing for at least 2 years that will provide me with HUNDREDS of hours of gameplay? It's a no brainer. Best purchase I'll make of 2013 easily.


so true i couldn't agree more

Has anyone seen the new leveling system in Beta? Or is that not been patched yet? If so how is it?

Well they have done ALOT for the UI, which is nice, now let's see what they can do for the actual game to make it good upon release.

Recently, a friend of mine told me he prefers LoL over sc2 "because it's free", meanwhile he probably burns around 100$ per week in weed, go figure >.>

I wonder if there will be a time at all when digital copy will be cheaper than the "real" version. Be it eBook or a computer game.

Stupid Activision, IMO that release date is total unrealistic, they still don't know, where they are heading with the multiplayer.
But i guess if they can release Diablo 3 without PvP, they can release HotS without being finished with multiplayer.
I don't like it.

If D3 didn't utterly crush all of my eagerness for new Blizzard games, I might have been excited, but as it is now I'm definitely passing on this one.

I wonder if the sales will be lower that WoL ones.

I predict that the first few months after release everyone will still play WoL until HotS balance isn't perfected enough for the pros to shift.

Currently the CE isn't available as a physical product on amazon. We'll put it up in the store as soon as it is though!
