But blizzard games in general consumes much less hdd space, when warcraft 3 retail was released I was surprised that it fits in to 1 CD.

I guess it wont be more than 1 DVD for the full release maybe 4 gigs.

Since now the download size is 1.4 gig.

It's better to check your Battle.Net profile instead of waiting for the email. I noticed that some of the guys out there have the download option available in the Battle.net profile even before they received their emails.

Blizzard's a lil' slowpoke with emails I guess.

I would prefer the bnet notice than e-mail. Cos u can download and play immediately.

checked my bnet profile. nothing yet.

Can i participate in the closed beta since its seems that i cant since i have not purchase a previous blizzard game?

No you can't. You need to at least have a Blizzard game registered to participate in the opt-in.

On another hand, do I sense some major nerf on the Baneling soon?

is there anykind of guarentee if we opt-in for beta test?

i mean is there a definite way of getting selected? what are the chances?

There's probably a large amount of unactivated content waiting to be mined by fans (ala WoW). 4GB is really big for a multiplayer client. It's bigger than a lot of X360 games.

Unless you attended the past Blizzcons or won any beta keys from the various competitions organized by both Blizzard & fansites alike, then you don't have a 100% chance of being selected for the beta test.

I would advise you to save the money & wait for the game to be released in a few months from now.

i have it b****

Back when Warcraft 3 came out, DVDs were far from being the norm. CDs were still the defacto media for games. So, 1 CD was quite normal at the time. Hell, two years later, when World of Warcraft came out, it still came in CDs (Albeit more than 1).

downloading beta now. I'm so excited but our 3rd world connection is killing my patience.

Ahh ok, but I guess it would be fair to say Blizzard games consume not as much PC resources as other games of it's days?

Pics of GTHO!!!

So beta is on, now comes the fun part, release date please.

damn... do any1 have the beta key~>>??

If I do, I will sell it.

There seems to be a good demand for it. Wonder how much people would pay.

We will most probably disallow that on these forums(it is highly likely it goes against the TOS of the SC2 beta). Same rules apply for Heroes of Newerth and Starcraft II.

Ahhhh a few screenshots to share. Took me like 5 hours to download it and also won my first ever game on SC2
