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?

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
    • “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
    • Microsoft Teams gets smarter at spotting sneaky meeting bots by Usama Jawad Microsoft Teams is set to receive a couple of new features soon, including a dedicated Recap app and a rather controversial location tracking functionality. The Redmond tech giant has also explained how it has made online communication and collaboration a lot more performant this year. Now, the company has detailed more secure bot admission mechanisms, as first reported by us in March 2026, and now available in Teams. As the use of AI has expanded across enterprise environments, Microsoft has begun allowing users to integrate bots into their meetings for various tasks, such as note-taking. While this has a tangible productivity benefit for users, Microsoft has highlighted how misconfiguration has allowed bots to join meetings that they shouldn't. This has created security and privacy risks, which Microsoft is now combating using a new Teams admin policy that allows organizers to control how external bots access meetings. Admins can leverage a policy called Manage external bots and their access to meetings. The default configuration is "When detected, require approval before joining", which places detected bots in a lobby before they are explicitly admitted into the meeting. The other option disables the experience. Microsoft has also requested admins to only allow organizers and co-organizers to manage access to a meeting, so that other people don't randomly allow bots into meetings. Teams will now be able to leverage infrastructure signals to intelligently detect and distinguish between bots and humans. Microsoft will soon also trial a registration experience for independent software vendors (ISVs) to build a system that registers a bot with Microsoft, so it is marked as a "known" bot. Teams will also categorize bots as trusted and suspected threats so that organizers can quickly identify which bots they want to allow into a meeting. Additional safeguards to block accidental admission of a bot into a meeting include: No one-click Admit option for identified bots Confirmation prompts when admitting participants that include bots Warnings when organizers choose Admit all, and bots are included Microsoft has begun rolling out this experience, and it will be retiring the current CAPTCHA verification implementation. In the future, the company plans to roll out new capabilities like allow-lists, organization-wide policies, admin reports, audit logs, and more granular controls.
    • With the current hardware prices Microsoft should lift the restriction. Then if you have the correct TPM then allow you to use X feature, if you don't have the correct TPM then don't but still actually let you run windows. 11. With a disclaimer during install that X features would be unavailable.
    • It's good for recycling of course. But commence inflation of a second hand RAM bubble and price gouging on DDR 4 inventory in 3... 2... 1...
