I haven't pre-ordered, yet. I think it's unusual to find the game on sale before it even is released. I'm probably going to get it from here. Thanks for finding this by the way.

It also works on the collector's edition for HOTS as well, but it is US residents only I think.

Just wait until Amazon/MediaMarkt here start their campaign. SC2 was 38€ at Releaseday cause of pricefights. I bet HotS will be under 30€ at Release.

Amazon WON"T match this price as of now (I and multiple people have tried). I'm keeping both pre-orders just in case Amazon price matches because of the quicker shipping.

Thanks OP, if this was Slickdeals I would give you reps.

What you should actually do is pre order from amazon and get the betakey. Then u cancel the preorder, get all money back but keep the beta key. Then you wait untill release when you will be able to buy the game somewhere for 20-25$.

Just got mine. I preordered the LE at Gamestop awhile ago so I'm going to cancel that instead. I was thinking of getting WoL + HotS for $60 on Battle.net but since I'll stick to my old WoL account, I'll just be getting HotS from Newegg instead. Anybody know how good the shipping is for preordering games from Newegg? I did want to play on the day hour of release, but I wouldn't die if I couldn't.

Newegg has three main hubs in USA, east, central, and west. if they have SC2 in all of those areas, then youll get your SC2 3 days total including the date of order. therefore, if you order on monday, you get it by wednesday.

if the item is only in one location, and you live 2 coasts from that location(east to west), then youll get the item in 5 days. therefore, if you order on monday, you get your SC2 by Friday.

Newegg rarely exceeds such days from my experience.

Yeah I'm trying to figure out what Newegg's policy is on shipping pre-orders.

Do they start shipping only after 03/12? Cuz that would be way too slow for me.
If it were at least starting to ship say on Monday, I would be more inclined.

Did you use super saver, or standard 3-day for that though? And I'm assuming you're no more than 2-3 states from NJ then.

Amazon always delivers before the release here. Latest could be morning of release, I have no idea how people in america would wait more than 1 day for delivery, funny how slow the shipping-system there is.

Doesn't TeamLiquid also sell HOTS?
Instead of giving your money to Amazon or Newegg, isn't it better to spend the bucks on TeamLiquid.net?

It is CD key that you get by mail. It doesn't matter though because right now 25 euro is ca 34 dollars. So more expensive than this new egg.
Oh, but you get it immediately upon release. Kind of changes things?

One of the reasons I don't pre order online. And as much as I love SC2 I know its not gonna run out in stores.

Went to Target after class and got HOTS on release date.

Saved $20 (this $10 code stacked with another discount) on HotS and received mine on Wednesday morning. I am totally fine with saving half of the retail price and waiting 1-1/2 days.

Funny thing is, mine was supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Bought me a copy at Gamestop instead so I could play on release day. Hour or two into the campaign, the Newegg copy arrives (on Tuesday). Hope you guys get yours soon, if you haven't already.
