StarCraft 2?
- Thread starter think
- Start date
Are you planning on getting the normal edition or the special, the special comes with the usual books, music etc etc aaaaaaaaand a dogtag memory stick with the original game loaded on.
Just out of curiosity, what with the original game having trouble on some modern computers (like mine). Does anyone know if they're fixing this for the dogtag edition or not?

I'm getting the Collector's Edition, pre-ordered it months ago. $150 freaking dollars for a PC game. Bastards. 
I don't know about the dogtag SC1 release, sorry. I don't attach much value to SC1's inclusion, but I could use the memory key. For my part I'm wondering whether the WoW mini-Thor pet which also comes with the CE has sound/voice effects.

I don't imagine that Blizzard would make any alterations to SC1 for the SC2 CE that wouldn't be filtered back through to the version you can buy from their online store. And if you already own the game and still have the key then you can register your copy to a Battle.net account and proceed to (re)download it from there. No need for the original CDs.
Depending on how it's integrated (and, y'know, how awesome it is) you might be able to sell it.
I'll be buying it. Not the collector's edition, but whatever. I'd like the WoW pet but it's not worth paying an extra $100 for, lol.

IIRC the US prices are $59/$99 respectively for the standard/collector's editions.
I'm in it mostly for the art book. I have the Warcraft III and World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade CEs and their art books rock. Interestingly, the WC3 CE art book contains some early WoW material.
On a different note, the beta is up to patch 17. Who would've thought, an actual beta in this day and age?

The system requirements for the game have been unveiled, and they're eminently reasonable.
I may well have to buy this.

Yeah. I can't envision the trilogy being wrapped up before Christmas 2011 at the earliest.
What hype?
I don't think I've seen much in the way of publicity, there was the "bout time commercial" a while back and they've been leaking in game footage to us for a while but nothing that makes me think they might have over done it. I think it's gonna be pretty damm sweet.
I think it's also nice to see a PC game being released for as wide an audiance as possible instead of always trying to push systems past their breaking points

Frankly, I find that difficult to believe. Sure, it's been a long project - in pre-production since 2003 - but it's also been a relatively small one, around 40 people minus Cinematics/Sound/QA and other stuff that's off in its own cross-title departments. Possibly they're including the cost of the new Battle.net in with that? I don't know about Bnet 2.0 specifically, but Bnet (1.0 and 2.0) + WoW together run on something like 100k CPU cores and 100TB of RAM.
