i got 2 with mine (ce version)gave them to friends yesterday

Is the CE worth getting? Waiting to see the price of the digital edition (I can get it sooner and with less effort).

Can't wait to start playing with you guys!

 

[Hunders]

Woo! I'm in, baby!

I didn't expect to be able to play it until tomorrow morning. Good one, Blizzard!

you lot posting ingame pics are being unfair to the people who have yet to get the game , surely the spoiler tag is needed on this forum

How are screens of the menus and early ingame shots spoiling the game? There are SC2 screens plastered all over the net. As long as people give warning before spoiling the story!

Edit: Also, thanks for the screenies! That looks waaaaaayy better than I expected!

To be honest, I think he has a point. It would have been cool to experience that 'mission hub' shown in one of the screens by my self...

OK, well if there is a general concensus then the mods can feel free to ass a spoiler tag. Don't think I can do it myself?

Edit: Spoiler tag requested.

[CaptainRAVE]

Do you have it installed on a standard HDD?

 

[Mahnsikir]

This isn't fair, I don't give two banana sandwiches about starcraft but I want the awesome childlike feeling of anticipation as a game you've been waiting years on installs to the feverish sound of your whirring disc drive.

Bah

 

[stoke1863]

Yea


EDIT: Actually they are a bit long. Think i was just jumping the gun a bit as i always ALT-TAB out when the missions load

 

[CaptainRAVE]

How big are the maps generally in this game? Haven't really read much about it.

How many players can there be in a game?

the release store list on blizz's site is wrong , it listed the asda store near me so off i go . just to be let down as the game section closes at 10pm , and that was from the managers mouth "no starcraft2 for you tonight" . how lame is that ???

Hard luck

Im retiring for the night. This is my first ever play on a SC game and Blizzard did a brilliant job explaining the structure of the game. Im not even a RTS nut but this game ahs got me hooked. Work tommorow is going to be hell!!
