I just thought of this now, but do you guys think it's the same disc for both PC and Mac versions? Nobody has ever mentioned this.

This has been the case with all previous Blizzard games that I know of so I'd think it is the same disc.

I saw a commercial for this a few hours ago on ESPN.

First time I've seen a commercial for a computer-exclusive game. Given the INSANE amount of money spent on developing this, and the fact that they've probably got a bunch more in marketing, I have to wonder if StarCraft II is going to give Activision much profit for a while. The original sold great, and sold well in its first few years, but it's popularity is because it stayed in the sales charts for a long, long time.

Well considering they have a Starcraft 2 plane, I'd say so. But I have seen commercials for it all day long, all of which have made me feel 8 again.

You have never seen the "What's your game?" WoW adverts?

I'm excited about getting this! I'm tempted to try and get it at midnight, but I won't be able to play tomorrow until the evening...

How is the digital download DRM going to work? Does anyone know?

Another question about digital download: Will the Mac and PC game clients be available for digital download with a single purchase (single user, of corse)? Their Digital Download FAQ looks lacking:

http://us.battle.net/en/info/digital-purchase

I'll probably just go get myself a physical copy. Just another box to stare at and wonder if I'll ever throw away. Blah.

both are available to download if you buy digital. same with all of their games.

Really? I have the original discs somewhere and I recall them being for both... I could be wrong though.

Yeah, my Starcraft and Brood Wars discs are for both platforms. Keep in mind that I bought them with the Battle Chest, so I'm not sure if it was like that from day one.

And Future Shop still hasn't shipped my pre-order yet. One of my buddies already got his game delivered to him from Best Buy, so apparently it's just a case of bad luck :( .

I just came back from mine.. apparently I didn't get the headset.. (but it's ok.. it was a crappy one anyway).. Here's a pic of the poster.. and hat. Also want to point out.. there is no tech tree guide this time around.. for all of the old school players. :laugh:

I wasn't able to get the Collector's Edition, the poster, and the hat. It's all good though. I'm happy with the game. Now if only my DVD drive would stop acting up and read the damn disc.

I would like to add that there was actually two CE's left when it was me and my friend's turn to go in. We wanted it, but we held back as we know we have to give a bunch more for Legendary Edition for Halo Reach. :D. But yeah, I'm happy. Installing on my laptop now.. just finished on my desktop. :)

    • Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.
    • It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...
    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
