For SC2? No. Blizzard makes quality games, and I plan to get it for at least the single-player campaign and UMS maps in multiplayer. But RTS on the level that Blizzard took SC2 is just not my style (where every counter has a counter, you are forced to learn all of those relations in order to beat the competitor).

Previous to yesterdays Doctor Visit I would have said yes, However it seams starting on Monday the 26th through Wed. The 28th I will be in the Hospital, however, My Wife said that she would pick it up for me when the store opened on Tuesday, and bring it to me for me to look at :p I ordered the Collectors Edition.

No, their whole restrictive battle.net policy stinks and I won't even buy this game, or other upcoming ones if they don't correct their stance.

I'm saying this having bought all Blizzard games since Warcraft 2, and I don't really like saying it.

What do you mean by restrictive? Not allowing you to cheat and banning you if you try?

HELL YES. FREE SWAG! Thanks Anaron for the heads up (Y). I was looking forward to the Midnight Release @ Gamestop/EB... but I get more stuff @ FS. Too bad BB has nothing.

Finally, another StarCraft 2 fan (other than Sikh). /highfive

The free hat looks cool but the headset looks "cheap". I'll probably give it away if I get it (the headset, that is).

You're supposed to get both if you're in the top 50 people. (Y). :yes:

No. I'm sure I'll get it fairly soon after release, assuming it has good reviews, and I'm willing to bet it probably will. Fun, but not on my "gotta have it before everybody else list". Now Diablo 3 is another story entirely...

some of us have been waiting since '98 for this game .. lol so people like me, Anaron and Sikh will need it before everyone else (Y).

It's one thing to line up for the regular version (which can be purchased digitally) but it's another to line up for the Collector's Edition. It's certainly better than waiting for it to come in the mail.

Do you get anything different for waiting in line rather than getting it through the post?

    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
