This soon? That's... unexpected. I would have been ready to bet for a release during the holidays. Well then, I'll save some money in advance, I'll buy it at release day (although I won't buy the collector's edition, it's too expensive for me).

 

[Barfo]

That's my birthday...and I know exactly how I'm spending the whole day

Smoking a cigar inside a helmet

People keep complaining about this, but his helmet's face-shield-window-thing is definitely open.

Of all the things to be pedantic about, this is more annoying when you're wrong.

in the trailer he closes his lid without putting the cigar out.

Interesting. Yes, now that I've looked again, it does appear to be open.

The multiplayer is full out of the box, at least from what ive read so far

Amazon has an agreement that states you cannot cancel once you receive your key.

Yep, and will be out of whole lot less money and won't have missed anything.

You will probably save very little unless you wait a very long time for a $60 Battle Chest (if it ever comes), and you certainly will miss the formative years of the community. Some people value the opportunity to play a game when it's fresh and new.

You still play WoW, right? You probably dump as much or more money into that in one year as you would paying for SC2 and its expansions over the life of that franchise.

 

[MJinZ]

Sweet. Buying and playing the Single Player!

 

[Maximilian]

Except years of playing the best RTS ever made, yeah not missing much there

 

[SunnyD]

Wow. I don't know about you guys, but I've been playing Star Control 2 for the better part of 17 years now.

Please don't pollute the acronym SC2 with Starcraft crap. Starcraft... ONE WORD.

 

[rcpratt]

Right, because acronyms never have several different meanings.
