hmmm that would make sense then.

then it would more economical for me to keep a box for myself haha!

but i wonder if i can enter the retail box cd key to use the installer for the digital copy.

lazy to insert the DVD hohoho.

meh, gonna try pre load finish the installer and see how.
the installer just looks like some installation files.

if it asks for cd key when i tekan install.exe then i input retail box cd key see what happens.

well yeah but i did not see that notice anymore.

FAQ

it is the official sc2 page by blizzard.
i think it is quite legit.

smm only copy paste the news from the sc2 sea facebook page only lulz.

of course you cannot do that oh since the cd key is attached to your battle.net account forever.

may i ask do you know what "ZHA DAO" means?

i think he dunno what "ZHA DAO" means.

hmmm i thought local retailers are not supposed to release the stock earlier than 12pm july 2010?
you bought from singapore?

deng, how come all these retailers releasing the game earlier?

i thought distributor has contract with SMM not to release the game earlier?

means all these retailers breaking the contract liao?

i will get stock on 26 / 27 oh.
hope i can get on 26 so i got more time to pack, then 27 can post out oh.


hmmm those releasing earlier probably did not get stock from SMM.

how they smuggle the goods in from singapore?

from what the SMM's distributor told me, the "proper" way is like this.

IAHGames > SMM > distributors > retailers

the profit margin for retailers is actually quite small.
i am getting stock from distributor, so yeah my margin is peanuts.

those people who get direct from IAHGames, they can afford to under cut the price, but why go and spoil the market rate this much?

well yeah it is true if they get stock directly from IAHGames and not through SMM or its distributors.

no price difference.

price is the same. well, it should be.

for me, campaign first.

competitive ladder, not really interested.
i reckon myself too old for such competitiveness.

after finish campaign, try out some custom maps.
then wait for more custom maps to come out.

getting stock tomorrow but i can only release after 12pm 27 july 2010 oh.
