RELEASE DATE: July 27th

[BusinessMonkey]

Anyone waiting in line on release night?

Nope it's hell standing in line with so many geeks. And worst part is the looks you get from passing people. Not that I care, but when WotLK came out I was at a party and happened to bike past several stores that all had huge lines, on my way back home.
I'd been in line for Burning Crusade, but we weren't that many back then. It was actually funny listening to big vanilla players talking about Outland would be, but passing by hoards of people (maybe 3-4 times as many as back when BC came out) gave me the impression of them (and myself ofc) as cattle. Don't like that.

Anyway. I'm arriving back from my trip to Italy on the 27th, and my GF will be arriving on another plane, later on, so I'll have time to go to Blockbuster, get my copy, place it home and go back to the airport to pick up my GF. (Can't play anyway before I get back to my current apartment which is 300 kms away from the airport... And since I had a fine experience picking up WotLK the day after, with no stressing issues due to standing in line, getting home, servers full, etc, I'll just pick it up whenever I want to. Much more relaxing, and you get to enjoy your copy (CE ofc) without geeks from all around eying you.

I will 100% be one of the said geeks in line. I am not afraid of being among people like me and rather welcome it. As a matter of fact I am going to do a shameless plug of my store while I am there even though it is a bit far away. We geeks might sometimes be an antisocial sort, save when we are with ones like us. Geeks of the world UNITE!

Good thing I know a friend that works at Gamestop...so no "standing" in line for me. I feel bad for ordering the special edition package. Nothing really special about it...

What were you expecting? I am looking forward to all the content. If you truly wanted something that defined collector's, the Tychus Findlay statue from oh so long ago would have been a nice buy.

Another reason I wanna be there at midnight is that I have talked to about 5 of the Gamestops in my area to give me the "preorder SC2" posters and stuff like that. So I am gonna have a cool poster and a life size Jim Raynor in a marine suit cutout come July 28th. My nerd status gets me free swag, love it!

I pre-ordered my copy for five bucks. Just gotta go when they call and I got a copy waiting for me.

I don't see the need to pre-order it. Just go and it will be there w8ing for me.

[Albuterol]

Make sure you get collector's edition if you are into that sort of thing.. And yes i will be waiting in line on release day.

Since it doesn't cost anymore, why not? All you do is send a confirmation to their site and it's there for you the first day.

In Chess, the biggest advantage and possible imbalance is White always moves first. This can be a disadvantage too, though...Black always gets to counter White's first move.

Really? I've only played with friends and family. Family always let me go first and we would argue over who went first with friends. I haven't played Chess or Checkers in ... God ... since before I started StarCraft so about thirteen years.
