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!

I will buy the collector's edition just out of tradition and because the campaign will be good.
But I really hope they use the four months to balance and innovate a bit more.

The new untis are nice, but I am not sure that they are enough to fix the somewhat stale gameplay.

I don't want to wait for LotV to have fun playing protoss...

You already have Heart of the Swarm™ in North America.
You don’t need to upgrade any other Wings of Liberty® accounts, because Heart of the Swarm™ will be eligible for Global Play (you will be able to play it in any game region). However, you can still upgrade your existing Heart of the Swarm™ account to the Digital Deluxe edition

Even more confusing is that it shows $59.99 as the price on that page.


I get that too, no option for 40 dollar version.

I'm super excited! They said 1st Quarter but probably 1st Half, and now it's 1st Quarter! Hopefully they don't change the date! I don't know which version to get but since I haven't bought any games recently, I might just purchase the Collector's Edition!

The thing is, if I pay $60, I can get standard (digital) WoL and standard (digital) HotS. Hmm, decisions decisions...it probably depends if anything carries over from WoL into HotS.

The digital deluxe is 60 dollars, which is a collectors edition minus the physical extras. It's the regular digital hots that is $40, though you can upgrade to the deluxe for the price difference(20) until they stop selling the digitial deluxe ce.

That calling is a money grab is dumb, since it implies they are going to take the money and run Blizzard wants our money and wants to provide us a product to get it. Early beta access is a great way to get people to opt-in early. The proper words to use are "sensible business plan." And you can never blame someone for having a good plan.

There seems to be a bug floating around.

Battle.net says that I already have HotS event though I actually never bought it, so only the Digital Deluxe edition is available for purchase for me.

To be fair, I was already in the beta, which might have caused this bug.


Be careful when purchasing. Don't purchase the Digital Deluxe if you don't want to. Maybe let the bug be fixed so that you can buy the $40 when its available, unless Blizzard is literally giving us free expansion packs for nothing.

They are tricking you into buying a crappy game by giving you early access to it!!!! They are never going to release HotS and DB and DK are going to take our money and open a smoothie stand in Spain!

Ladies and Gentlemen.

As a book-keeper for the day, here are the odds:

HOTS actually releases on 12/3/2013: $4.00
HOTS does not release on 12/3/2013: $1.20

this is so smart of them, why am I no Blizzard guy

a general question: will multiplayer WoL carry over to HotS, so will buying HotS only give you the single player as a bonus or will WoL stay as it is for the rest of it's life? Wouldn't make sense from Blizzard, but i've heard otherwise oO
