This should be the cheapest price for a local copy of SC2. Comes with free express delivery.
Benefit of getting the Aus/SEA version of the starcraft is that you can also play the game on North American server. If you preorder SC2 from USA for USD$59.99, not only you have to pay for the price of shipping, you also cannot play this with your friends on the SEA server.
Thanks SeaWeedYuMMM on Whirlpool.
Mod — fix the link to actual product.
I'm also wondering - would be great to know if possible.
I just called DSE, and they said my order has been sent out! WOOT! Good bye real life!
I ordered on Sat night. And still backorder. =( no updates so far
Me too, I'm thinking it's punishment for checking out as a guest. Or did you register an account?
i checked out as a guest because i was too lazy to register. Hope it doesnt make a difference.
Paid with PayPal this morning - got a PayPal and DSE confirmation straight away. Have just checked my order and have the AAE courier reference number ADS66… $69.97 - bargain. Thanks mate.
I did the same, except in the afternoon, my order is still pending :(:(:(
Its adding delivery, how do i get the free postage?
Just proceed to checkout, it's free delivery, just checked!
at checkout it removes it.
Yay I just checked my account at DSE.com.au and it says-
Dispatched: 1 Carton
Dispatch Date: 26-Jul-2010
Courier: Australian Air Express
Hey guys
I preordered Collectors Edition since May 2010, but it still says Pending…
A bit worried since most of you guys are saying it's been shipped already! :(
Anyone else in the same boat as me?
According to AAE, mine is in Sydney and should be delivered overnight woohoo. Too bad I don't arrive back in Australia till Wednesday night lol!
Goodbye Semester 2!
Just ordered mine, still nothing showing up on my account…
Just ordered this morning and it's on its' way!
Service Level: Overnight

26 Jul 2010 16:59 Sydney Arrived at location
wow already at the post office
Ordered
You'll get on wednesday…
EB Games is price matching, DO IT!
They wouldn't when i rang :( Guess they folded since.
In store price-matching? Damn I made my order already, and called up I might have to wait 3-5 days cos they ran out of stock? :S
People on whirlpool are saying that DSE will have this price in store.
I called a few DSE in Vic this arvo, they all said 80 bux, hence i ordered online. Grrr….
I did the same, but all stores i rang we're completely clueless about the deal.
One worker said he bought his from EB for $98 :)
weird. from DSE twitter: "Wow tweeps, Starcraft 2 is going to go off 2moro. Our online price of $69.97 will be available in store for 3 weeks. Pretty crazy! "
If they do you'd think it would only be for the 27th, since that's when the pre-order special ends.
woah that's a great deal, too bad I already paid the $10 for the Beta =P
Big W is selling for $74.95, best pick up price after launch date out there i have seen. Called up my local DSE and they said 90 bux, weird that they have different prices
Package left the AAE depot at 6:02am, and arrived at 8:00am on the dot. Massive box for such a small item.
Too bad it's a workday… Who else is feeling inexplicably unwell today?
Mine was onboard with courier at 7:57am. Still waiting =[
in store aswell
i called and confirmed (sydney cbd)
07:57 BNE Process Centre - Still hasn't arrived :(
went to DSE store when it opened and can confirm 69.95 is the price. 12GB download plus patch afterwards too
Bah, the AAE website cant find my reference number…
Taiwan - are you using the courier reference that starts with ADS66….? If so type the consignment number into AAE without the 'A'. So it'll be DS66…. that should work fine.
Yeah it is the ADS66…. , just tried it without the 'A', still doesn't work…
Musn't have scanned in through AAE yet, you'll get an email when it has.
Still processing!!! :( should've just bought it in store.
when did u get it?
wow.. got it this morning.. they are fast!
Got mine this morning, delivered at my work. I am so tempted to install and play…. damn work
Got mine like 30 mins ago. Damn..I can't play it till tonight. Another day wasted at work…
Just got mine.
I ordered it yesterday morning and received it today in the morning! Oh the goodness! Nice one DSE!
Mine just arrived, if I had a tail I'd be wagging it… cough cough, all of sudden not feeling well for work tomorrow ;).
Anyone here old enough to remember how it was the 1st time around? Dial Up, direct connection with mates, or waiting for a mate on bnet whos 'lagging out on full red'. The youngsters have no idea what us trailblazers had to go through playing online multiplayer on dialup. Hope they appreciate our sacrifice :).
I got it too :)
i ordered mine yesterday arvo, still says processing..
im in sydney cbd too.. reckon i'll get it today?
JB HI FI IN THE CITY
69 bucks LOLZ
i got 3 copies for friends
man wtf did i buy it online for.. far out
i know aye… I hate it when shops do things like this…
mine came this morning while I was still asleep. Rookie mistake :(
You can purchase from a JB HIFI store for the same price…i just got a copy after hunting around for a collectors edition (all out :( … anybody have the artbook they want to sell?)
Preordered mine from DSE and got it at 1pm today. Thanks
Regret buying it online, nearly 3pm and the courier driver still hasn't arrived.
just arrived lol, still hope yet for people awaiting late deliveries
Yes the courier is damn slow, only 2 hrs more delivery time for them to get here…
Ordered yesterday morning, arrived this morning. Damn fast delivery! Well done DSE.
Nice. Thanks for this. No life here I come!
I have still not received this, gg i also rang AAE two times and both times they said i would receive it today and that the driver would go into overtime to make the deliveries….
thats bad luck, I am installing now… au reviour life
Wow the tracking just got an update… the driver didnt complete the route or something:
18:08 BNE Process Centre Returned to AaE Location
i bought mine yesterday and it still says on backorder =(
Ordered on Sat/Sun and got it Tue morning.
Pretty speedy.
And I've been busy just playing campaigns after campaigns.
So i ordered at 10am yesterday and my order was instantly put on 'backorder', this is despite the website continuing to show SC2 as "in stock - ready to ship" for the entire day+night.
Lame, and my condolences to others who share my fate.
Cancel your order.
Just go in store and pick it up for the same price.
From what others have been saying, its now $69 @ JB Hifi and EB Games if you pricematch.
how do you cancel an order??
just called them up to cancel my order, decided to buy it from jb hifi instead, $1 cheaper + didnt have to wait for delivery =]
Ordered on Monday night, got it this afternoon.
Really Pissed off -
Mine is On "backorder, delivery date to be confirmed"
informed at " Report Date: 28-Jul-2010 9:24:19 pm"
No wonder it never arrived today!
Not Good enough DSE!!!
will JB HI FI and EB games match this price? and make it even more cheaper? lol
Deal has since expired.
Is anyone still getting it price matched anywhere?
seems to be sold out everywhere lol
Yeah my friend wants a copy too but its sold out everywhere. LOL
hey guys, is it possible to use your staff card when buying this online from dse?? not sure where to enter it in
