Look at this way,if it would be less painful to buy the game, you are not getting a typical RTS with a SP and MP component.

With SC2, you are getting a RTS with a MP that is well balanced and powered by a good matchmaking system, a extremely versatile editor that will give you hours and hours of fun, a good story SP with lots of CGI scenes, a challenge mode to train you for MP, and also a closer to home server. Basically, a complete package than some of the half baked RTS out there. If you dont mind IAH managing the servers.

Im not a fan of what Kotick have done, like increasing the price of PC games, but i think, with SC2, the price is worth paying for.

Unlike MW2 where you get a short SP, a few spec ops missions and a broken, imba MP, with no way to add contents to the game by users, other than getting those overpriced map packs.

Yes, it would be fine, but probably not max.

I was buying original when i was 16. Took me one year to save for just an expansion pack.

There is no such thing as you cant afford to buy original.

If SC2 is too expensive, ask uncle deimos/edison etc to get you those cheaper than pirated Steam games.

Then, tell them why you want to buy then.

It took me a while to convince my parents that buying original is better, like i play less games as im only buying 1-2 games a year which is something they want to heard.

I didnt have much money back then. I remembered im only saving like 50 cents a day for my copy of Winter Assault because i have to use the remaining for lunch and some CC for CS:S.

Im just trying to say, despite games are expensive these days, there are still ways to get them. Not to forget that Steam are selling games on low price periodically.

Right, as if SC2 is RM24.80.

19 hours to pick up my SC2.

RM248.

You can get it lower, if you know where to find.

Seriously, can we have a FAQ please? Rather than flaming everyone that who isnt following the development of SC2.

You can try here.

You better download it now, as it's 14 hours left to official release.

Lets hope the server wont go down when billions of people activate at the same time.

I think it's activated on the day after tomorrow.

Hell, it's almost time.

Just got mine, havent install yet.

Got a really nice key chain and a t-shirt make SC2 less painful for my wallet.

It's aussie version. Both of them are official Blizzard products. GAME is giving them out for free for those early birds. Managed to get it as im heading to uni and GAME is along the way.

The shirt is not bad, but probably the engrave will drop off after a few washes.

It has this art work:



Link for better picture

I'll post photos if you want to see.

The metal key chain, on the other hand, is fukken awesome. It cost 15AUD for one, like the one bottom:



Except mine is Terran.

Is it the same one as the one i got?

Mine is aussie version.

Just want to know are we getting the same stuff.

This one.

Mine is Terran too.

They did offer Zerg and Protoss too, but i took Terran one.

Better delete it, no matter what game is that.

The campaign seems pretty good so far.

Challenge mode is quite fun.

On the other hand, the achievement servers are down.

No achievements to get if you get them.

Looks the same to me, so far.

Yeah, the server is still down.

Seems like the SEA server is still quite unstable.

Achievement is disabled, and bnet keep dc.

At least it's still playable, IMO.

I think, the achievements will just add up when the server comes back.

LOL yea, i'll post up my id then.

Keep forgetting the identifier code.
