So I've been stalking the GAME webpage for Starcraft II since the WoW: Cataclysm launch, and the game is finally back in stock. Don't know if they failed to update the price or whether they'll reject the purchase, but worth a try?
NB Started a new deal because the WoW launch one is lost in the backlog, and the item was not available online on the day of the WoW launch.
Did you buy from a UK shop? I've looked around for a while now, and my experience is that most UK shops sell the European region copy. If it is the South East Asia region one, please do post it.
Nah, it's the UK version. Have to go local or with play-asia for the SE Asia edition.
$40 from ebay 50% cashback day is still cheaper :)
Ha, that would have been pretty sweet; too bad I've tried to put off getting internet on my mobile for as long as I can. I find that I rely less on my memory when I know there's internet access where I'm going.
Ok so what does it matter with UK/US/Asia versions? Or you talking about the DVD region (meaning it wouldn't matter for this post since it's in Australia)
Also what 50% cashback ebay thing?
The region concerns the game itself, and which servers you connect to when you play multiplayer.
The 50% ebay cashback was an offer a few months ago where you had to purchase an item from ebay from your mobile.
Ok but there's no problem buying this from Game correct?
I would assume that Game, being an Australian store with retail presence, would be selling SEA versions of the game. To be honest, though, I have a box in front of me, and I can't see anywhere where it says which region it is.
The game comes with a licence to play only on the specified battle.net server (with the exception that SEA are able to play on US).
sold out
Yep. If you're still looking for a copy, though, I'd keep it bookmarked just in case they bring in more stock. I waited a week for it in the hope they wouldn't change the price.
Awesome price, too bad I could never wait so long since launch.
Sweet I was able to get one (this was earlier this afternoon) only just built a new PC capable of playing this…so can't wait! C'mon postage!
Received the confirmation email so hopefully this is the price they meant and they don't withdraw it. Are they allowed to do that?
How can it be that a place that traditionally sells games at RRP + 10% sells such a popular game for so cheap?! It's so maddening! Damnit Game, I forgive you, just stock some more copies!
Errr… "This product is currently out of stock online". Already?!?!
I also saw this price in stock today on the big screen TV.
sold out….

Same price as the UK shops, but closer to home with quicker delivery. Nice.
