Reset for release.

Btw, anyone else throwing the placement matches? I think it'll be easier to get all my achievements in bronze.

[vietxboy911]

Lets go!!!

Why drop placment matches for stupid achievements T_T

[SM-Count]

So I can pick up girls. "Hey there, I have the meat grinder achievement, if you know what I mean."

[vietxboy911]

I had that one in the beta :<

[Squirt]

FU**,
So want to buy a new PC already
I'll get it before the year ends =p

Screw me
If I start working in october and I make 150$ a week from working part time, how long do I have to work to buy a custom PC that can handle SC II + actual game?

[SM-Count]

Like... 5 weeks?

[Leuneth]

i dont think my pc will handle the game 0_0
i thnk ill keep playing DOTA for now

[vietxboy911]

Buy better PCs people!

Day[9] Countdown is live on his ustream! link in the first post

zomg shipped on the 26 and didn't even know

[SM-Count]

Yeah, mine shipped too from gamestop pre-order. 3 day wait though :/

[dom]

Yeah, mine shipped too from gamestop pre-order. 3 day wait though :/

I got priority 1 day international shipping. Was expensive but I wanted it ASAP and they were sold out in every Canadian Retailer when I looked.

It's probably going to go SFO-YYZ overnight or tomorrow, and then YYZ-YKF and out for delivery same day usually, unless it arrives too late in the morning. Either way, I would expect Thursday maximum.

[SM-Count]

I keep forgetting you live in Canada, how much is 1 day international?

Gamestop had free 3 day shipping and $8 (I think) overnight shipping for U.S., looking back I regret being so cheap. Aw well, 3 days of productivity left for me I guess.

[vietxboy911]

I preordered from gamestop and used in-store pickup
Dont know if im going to get it in 15 minutes ( release is in 15 minutes for me )
but im getting it 2morrow forsure

[cpinney]

[cpinney]

i hope thats a joke ror lol

and yeah actually there was like 40-50 people in the gamestop i was in, fortunately i was in the front of the line.

[vietxboy911]

word.. i have 2 in a 5 mile radius near my place, plus this place is full of non-gamers... maybe i should of went at midnight

[Skyve]

I don't even think we have GameStop in Canada. Plus EBGames seem to only sell old PC games Bestbuy it is

[vietxboy911]

gamestop =/= ebgames

same company lol

[Love]

I was looking forward to buying this til I found out they 'felt 3 expansions was necessary to explain the universe of SC'. I don't like how blizzard has been running it's business lately and I am not purchasing anything til I see a change for the better.

[Key-J]

*And at the stroke of Midnight, the Internet fell silent, as Millions of people from all walks of life, suddenly found themselves emerged in a new world, doors were never opened, emails and texts never responded to. The mountains of ash/pizza & pop grew higher and higher until all that was left was the empty shell of a person, sitting with the flickering glow of a monitor playing with his emotions... For the time of reckoning was here. Star Craft II was upon us"

[cpinney]

i wish i could no life it, but i got work tomorrow got a few games in me and my friend went 2-3 bronze league, eww, but we were both pretty rusty.

[Skyve]

Hope they changed the way 4v4 works. By that,I mean they should have HUGE MEGA maps. The one we had during beta wasn't big enough. It was basically build your army,send it into the chaos & hope Blizzard servers wont crash

[dom]

!!!

It's in Hamilton, meaning it cleared customs.

With normal shipping it would arrive in my city this afternoon and out for delivery tomorrow. But i'm not sure if they might attempt a delivery today since it's priority mail??

[vietxboy911]

Usually they would, but iunno in Canada.

My package ( L O L )would arrive in a place near me early in the morning, and then ship out the following hours. Or if the area is not so close, they will ship it to one nearest you and proceed to send it out the following dy. I'm going to pick up my copy soon brb.

EDIT:INSTALLING AS I SPEAK!
