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'm sure they know about it, because hots isn't the first "beta key" preorder. Either they can't (technically) or they make profit, in one way or another. My guess would be new registered users, to make profit of them in the long run. Who would cancel a preorder? People who don't earn money currently but at some point in the future, they probably will, and the hardest step (registration) is already done. :o

I got an email today from amazon saying the publisher (blizzard) had pushed back the release date, and my copy would be shipping between March 18-22nd. Anyone else heard anything about this? I can't find anything on the web about it being pushed back.

I have a question : since there will be global play it doesn't matter which region I get my SCII from, right? I have a U.K version of Wol, can I buy hots via Teamliquid ?

I really hope they keep their promise of 12. march!

To activate HotS, it must be the same region as the WoL product you currently own

So if I buy from TL, it automatically redirects me to amazon USA, so I won't be able to activate hots. That means europeans can't buy from TL?

That I am not sure about, but probably the case yes.

Can I upgrade to Heart of the Swarm using a key from a different Region?
Upgrading Wings of Liberty to Heart of the Swarm requires a key from the same region. For example, if you have an EU version of Wings of Liberty, you will require an EU Heart of the Swarm Key.
https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/starcraft-ii-global-play-faq
Our Blizzard friends know where you bought HotS based on the CD-Key. Makes sense, but in the end apparently you need a same region HotS as WoL 
+ Show Spoiler [Earlier post] +Well, my Wings of Liberty region is now changed to 'Global' on Battle.net (was EU before). So I wouldn't be surprised if there is actually only 1 HotS version, namely a Global one. Blizzard should provide some clarity here, but now that WoL region has changed to Global I would think I can order HotS wherever I want and just add it to my account and it should work. You do need WoL on the same account, it seems: Will Heart of the Swarm require ownership of Wings of Liberty?
For the regions that have a standard box business model such as North America and Europe, yes, Wings of Liberty will be required in order to play Heart of the Swarm. Further details (and bundles that contain both games at a discount) can be found on the Heart of the Swarm pre-purchase page. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/game/heart-of-the-swarm-preview/faq#q6~ Though the fact they differentiate between 'standard box business model areas' and the rest would contradict my earlier statement about buying HotS wherever, but might indicate interchangeability between EU & US HotS versions. Not sure.

There is no such a thing like UK version, right? I am asking because planning to preorder HotS collectors edition from game co uk, but my WoL account is EU version. Also, maybe someone can tell me is it better to buy from amazon uk or from game co uk if i want to get a game on march 12? I am not from UK, but my friend will help to get hots cheaper then in my country.

Their isn't a UK version no, it's under EU. So as long as you buy an EU version you're good to go.
Amazon generally get orders out to you for the day before/on the day of release from previous experience where as game will try to get it delivered on the day but could be the day after (also from previous experience).
