I probably give that a go on my previous gaming PC.

Should be able to play it at 1280x1024 using 8800gt and AMDx2 4400.

plenty of other local stores like tsb/pc game selling cheaper, dont go SMM

SMM is the local distributor.
everyone gets their stock from SMM.

Did that, didnt help at all.

Like I said, I could run utorrent or any other stuff fine along, but that damn Blizzard thing never went very fast.
I could see connections starting in the detailed view but they closed in few seconds each time.

Was pretty weird, just hope will be better for SC2 (I moved since then, might help)

Yeah f u c k Sendi, Id rather take a plane to Singapore or HK to get it than getting it from SMM. SMM screw joo, I f u c king hate your logo.

Just get someone you know from Singapore to buy it and mail it over.

Thats why im getting from EB instead.

I rather pay RM100 more than getting from them.

The thing is, the Blizzard patcher suxs. It took me 3 hours to patch the damn game,while Steam would have happily finish it in 30 minutes.They have to get rid of the torrenting and use direct downloads. Then,they have region lock for Beta. It's another major problem and for some reason, it's on low priority for Blizzard to fix it.

My experience with the Beta so far is horrible. Worst beta ever,compared to RA3, BFBC2, DoW2, C&C4 and HoN Beta.

if thats the case, simple. dont buy local LOL

it would be a lot more hassle to get it else where.
if buy online on battle.net it would probably be cheaper (usd59.99) but it will probably take ages to download.
collectors edition buyers must buy physical copy and cannot resort to this option.

anyways, i wonder how will the 100+ collectors edition buyer in my pre-order list react if the local pricing for collectors edition is outrageously high.
with SMM, it is possible that they may jack the price up to RM400 - RM500

took me maybe 5-15mins per patch, throughout all the patches from sc2. so yeah blizz patcher sucks alright.

and really, theres always the manual patchers that other people have been using/copying and they have posted their successes in the sc2 thread too. could've always used those

Keep me posted on the pricing.

Might be better of just getting the regular version if needed be.

Yeah Id rather buy from Blizzard online through bnet than stupid SMM, SMM can S u CK meh Balls.
Or Id take a bus to singapore for a day of holiday and get my copy.

We can bulk order from Singapore if its much cheaper there.

enjoice maybe? ive got my order on amazon anyways, atm didnt plan to cancel lol

Well,as people always say, Blizzard is awesome and everything they do is great.

The way Blizzard patch is already obsolete and terrible, as most companies have changed to different method of patching where the client compares the local files and the files on server. Then, download only the files needed so the the local files is the same as the server. Blizzard have so much resource and they cant do it. Worse, there is not even a cumulative patch for the first few patches for the Beta as you have to download patch 1 to 10 one by one.

If they are so great, why is the patching is so painful and slow?

Even RA3 Beta have cumulative patches for each patch released.

I couldnt find any thread that have patch 9 which is the huge patch. The small ones are still ok.

Cheesenium,
maybe because it is beta and they are malas to change the update software?

well it is almost cumulative...
it does resume the patch from where u stopped...
and it can detect the manual patches...

http://maged.lordaeron.org/sc2/
for manual patches

I really dont see it as an excuse for not updating the software as the game has been in development for 5 years.

SC2 definitely needs a longer Beta,at least 3 months more,IMO. Battlenet doesnt seem as great as it was advertised.

Thing is, beta could actually be the good moment to test a new update tool too in my opinion

Not at release when so many people will be trying to update their game all at the same time

Wah .. so many complains about the beta, no complain abt the patch when u get the beta keys, last time complain whn u din get the beta keys ... haih!!

Because have high expectations from Blizzard based on their previous track records.
