Starcraft II pre-order at Bestbuy.com

[dealrocker]

Unable to post this thread in the specific Starcraft II category, so I gonna post this info here.

Bestbuy.com has Starcraft II up for pre-order. Shows the game coming out on 3/1/2010. Bestbuy is a big retailer and I don't think they would provide wrong information. That being said Starcraft II beta would be expected to open up at the end of November or beginning of December.

This is all nice, but is that date mm/dd/yy or dd/mm/yy?

3/1/2010, 59.99. Heh.

 

[Aurora]

And a while after that:
Heart of the Swarm: $59

And even later:
Legacy of the Void: $59

Meh. I'm hoping for a discount system if you have bought other versions before. A bit like what Unreal Tournament used to have, if you know what I mean.

 

[Tyrael]

Notice no graphic art and no 'wings of liberty'.

I think it's month then day.

 

[DirtyDog]

No way that's January!

 

[Tyrael]

I've seen pre-orders for Diablo 3 since last December.

 

[DirtyDog]

They just want to get people on board so they don't buy elsewhere down the line. (and they want your credit card details!)

It isn't official, they're making a guesstimation. Online retails do that all the time.

Plus, no one on this planet thinks it is coming in January.

 

[Aurora]

True. And those December pre-orders were before the official announcement that the game was delayed to 2010.

...

But nobody posted that on this forum.

*facepalm*

 

[Wing Zero]

unless some one at bestbuy or gamestop shows it on their computer screens all those are estimates that are horribly in the dark

*Facepalm*

It won't be out before 2010, the rest is just silly rumor...

I've reserved my copy from Amazon. I'm not taking any chances. Just in case I am deployed when the game is released it will be shipped to a secure location where then it will be shipped to me right a way!

 

[Wing Zero]

[Emperor Pan I]

I'm going to walk into gamestop and pick up a copy. I mean seriously, ho the hell buys PC games anymore anywhere? I predict lots in stock.

except for the exception of blizzard games for the first 3 months

Only thing I'm worried about is that there's no pre-order for a special edition yet. Hoping that it won't be sold out right away if it never comes available as a pre-order.
