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 can't even express how disgusted I feel about Blizzard giving away beta keys for preordering EXCEPT if you preorder directly from Blizzard. Just lol.

Relax, WoL had a beta of 5 months, and we are still 5 month till release for HotS.

Does anyone know about other shops/stores that offer this deal? I live in holland and cant use the amazon deal because i dont own an US bank account number or a creditcard.
I've tried googling but so far no succes.

Hi everyone!
I just wanted to let you all know that the preorders made through Teamliquid/Amazon.com are NA keys only. Those keys can't be activated on a EU account. I know Global Play is coming and that it's not a big deal to make an NA account but for those like me, who already have the WoL CE on their account, it matters! So be careful when you preorder your copy of SC2:HotS.

Can a mod perhaps add this to the first message in this thread? I've seen this question on several forums.

I got this information from Blizzard themselves when I called this morning.


Maybe this has been said before in this thread and if so, please forgive me for not reading the 44 previous pages.

$40. That's about $10 per new unit.

It's not like Blizzard is trying to rip off Europeans because they're evil. They have to ship their products across the ocean, pay import taxes probably, and maybe their storage and distribution deals are not as favorable over there. Who knows. If they knew they could squeeze an extra $10 out of European customers, then why not also squeeze that out of the American customers as well? Does anyone think this through?

Yeah, about $10. The Mothership Core, $10. The Tempest, $10. The Oracle, $10. The Swarm Host, $10. The Viper, $10. The Widow Mine, $10. The Hellbat, $10. All that adds up to $40. The campaign, with its 20 missions and 2 different specializations for every zerg unit, is completely free. As is clan support, global play, resume from replay, UI improvements and ladder-free matchmaking. Oh and also the ultralisk burrow charge, reaper heal, hydra speed, as well as the the coming redesigns of void ray, carrier and raven. Totally free and we all know it.


Well, not that I fully agree with the price, but the post is funny

if the buy hots page you are referring to is amazon.com then i am afraid you can not purchase from there while in Holland.

the amazon equivalent here is bol.com but they probably wont have the deal you are looking for

WOW? Are you blaming Activsiion for this? Activision develops a 30-million game in 12 months.

FOr some mysterios reason it took Blizzard 10 years to develop sc2 vanilla. Wtf took them so long? The huge failure of bnet 2.0? Updating new graphics (really?). The campaign (I guess it was decent though, but 10 years?). Designint "innovative esports-oriented" new units such as the collosus?

Blaim Blizzard for being incompetent/lazy/awfull management, whatever. But don't shit on Activision for this.
