totally agree with u bro....... why say SC2 is expensive? if you're a real gamer then the price doesnt matter actually.
Expensive? not enuf cash? save up and then buy the game u really want to play then!
buying all those virtual stuff online with real money??? for what??

ahem, i admit i start playing sc2 with pirated software, it is really game of the year, definitely an A list game, but i wont buy it, not that i dont have money, but what sickens me is the activision's malicious counter piracy steps. 1st they screwed up modern warfare 2, now sc2. i'd definitely buy sc2 if they giving us lan. no lan no talk.
ahem, how do you think our internet speed will meet global requirements? dont have to give statistics to know that our internet sucks big time.

walao, never expect so many replies, ok. i agreed on not many ppl would buy ori games, why? but still ppl will go buy ori album by their favourite aritists. anti piracy is a must, but not sacrificing the gaming experience. i personally guarantee you wont find any bits of pirated software in my pc, windows 7 ori, checked. office 2010 pro plus ori, checked(hehe, not to show off sorry). cos i'm a software programmer, and i wanna spread the msg that intellectual property should be honored instead of abusing it. still, i bought warcraft 3 battle chest, at RM35, originally rm40 from sunshine square near super tanker at penang(wahahaha). oh counter strike oh, pm me, i intro you guys buy condition zero for whopping rm40!

the fact is, korea starcraft gaming is reluctant to shift to sc2, and activision blizzard enacting new agreement to force the major endorsement to follow suit.

guys, sc2 multiplayer future is very cloudy, not as flexible as sc1.
ahem, did you know that blizzard came out with a solution that produce lan like solution that create p2p connection between players, while still maintaining connection with battlenet? go do some research before posting here.

not that i like to hantam sc2. sc2 is my 1st pc game and i still remember i go cc play when form2, and how i kena serbu by mum, skip tuition, but pmr still get 4a4b(that time very ba bai d wahahahaha...). it was hard for me that after long wait, sc2 disappoints me and i wont buy or play sc2 until activision blizzard gives us lan.

+1 to that. best proof: i bought wc3 battle chest for rm35 bucks. i bought lotro mines of moria for rm30++, i bought gta4 for rm60, nothing is more precious than time. money can be earned anytime. and i used to sit all day long to play games and i realised i just like to live in a world of fantasies. come on la wey, we play games just to release our tension or frustration(gta4), not you cant do in real life, nvm, i'm guild leader, or get this achievements in that game.

Nothing compared to achievements in life.

so guys, no offense, go get a real life, play game according to healthy lifestyle, and buy original.
