Worth pre-ordering or will it be a relatively similar price on release? Not bothered about playing it straight away, but I definitely will want to play it at some point.

I'm not pre ordering it either. Going to wait until the 22nd and my 3 week uni easter holiday before getting it.

May as well pre order it. Blizzard games never fall in price, well not for months anyway.

Gah I gave in and ordered it.

£23.40 cost me with 10% staff discount. Hope it comes soon.

Got my cd key today. All installed and ready now. Guess I just wait until next weekend...

how do you actually preload this game if you have wol installed already? D:

Should already be done as I'm assuming it will 'unlock' in the same way as World of Warcraft in that the expansions come out via patches IIRC...

Why am I no longer in silver league? Says I need to complete 5 games to be ranked again?

If this is because I haven't played in ages then I guess that is cool, I kind of sucked anyway. Anyone want to help me get half decent again?

Quite a lot has changed with the leagues - when did you last play?

Long time ago...

I'll be up for some games. Join OcUK chat channel in game.

ci_newman · 11 Mar 2013 at 10:11

With only a day to go, how is this thread back on Page3 :eek:

.. Such a pity that I am so busy for the next few days, I haven't bothered pre-ordering

booyaka · 11 Mar 2013 at 10:20

Was in Asda last night and they had it on the shelves for £26.97. Will probably pick up soon but not immediately.

ozzaman · 11 Mar 2013 at 10:20

So are you guys going to hit the ladder or play the campaign?

I suppose the ladder will be a glorious hellbat fest.. And I play Terran..

Kavalree · 11 Mar 2013 at 10:22

I'm getting excited! I pre-ordered standard edition at my local store and changed my mind. Went in on Saturday to change it to collector's edition and was told it was too late. 4 people pre-ordered that and they had 6 delivered, 1 has my name on. Can't wait until 8am tomorrow...I want it now

Unsure how to join chat channels in game and also not sure of what race to specialize in...it's either Terran or Protoss...

frankmcg · 11 Mar 2013 at 11:25

Mine was shipped on Thursday so hoping it turns up tonight. Anyone in London that can get to Kentish Town there's a big farewell Wings party starting from 5 or 6, razor giveaways etc. Check London barcraft on facebook if you want the details. I'll be there

Think I'll hit start the single player at midnight then I've got tomorrow off work specially so get the campaign finished over the course of the day then masters on the ladder here we come, or something....

It won't do you much good though, as it still won't be activated even if you had it early

[Edit] Just looked at the launch times - 11pm tonight for us!

Really in 2 minds about buying this as I still haven't played through Wings of Liberty. Used to love this type of game but just don't have the time anymore to master them.

Indeed. I grabbed it for the hell of it (and the 500 tesco clubcard points offer isn't too bad either, considering I only got 26 for the actual purchase) and in all likelihood it won't drop much more for some time. Hell, the original is still at that price.

I really need to finish off the original campaign.
