Go here:

Click Here (Newegg.com)

And use code:

EMCYTZT2870

Not sure how long it will last or if there is limited stock but I just want as many players as possible joining up. lol. I love the beta so far. The new units really mix things up a ton and interface is great.

Pretty much a no-brainer for all the Starcraft fans. I never even jumped on the $10 WoL as SC is heavily focused on MP and I've never enjoyed or been good at games that require quick thinking. I prefer slower paced games.

Might be especially good for multiplayer, but the sp campaign was outstanding, one of the best RTS campaigns ever.

Tempting if I hadn't already pre-ordered and to have the funds returned and then having to wait for a hard copy to be delivered isn't worth the $10 anymore.  Dang.

I'm compelled to boycott this and everything else Blizzard releases. They have lost touch with their fans and casual gamers.

lol I agree with WoW and D3 becoming really trashy games BUT SC2 really is still and continues to be a great game. Im in the HotS beta and I love it.

Seconded. SC2 HotS is shaping up very well and Blizz have done an excellent job working with the community.

Third. HoTS looks to have quite an interesting campaign and multiplayer still looks to be as competitive as it has always been. Can't wait to see how the pros will make new strats with the new units and changes Blizzard is making on HoTS to existent units.

Id like to see more videos honestly. I know Im actually playing it but the pros arent playing the beta right now because of all the tournaments they are playing in. HotS is the future and none of them are trying to get on it early. I mostly want to see what others are doing in terms of strats. I just started learning Toss after 2 years of playing and love Terran (still do) but wanted to explore something new. So far toss are amazing but really hard to keep up with sometimes. I love em though.

This or the next expansion, it should be this tho, since they're making it to promote the modding capabilities of SC 2 and they stated at some point that it'll be released with the mod market, which HotS brings, where the community can sell their mods/maps, if they choose to.

I respect you sir. Myself, I can't handle Terran since they are so micro intensive. Been playing Zerg since launch day, now trying to learn toss (when I have time for play HoTS beta anyways :P)

This is a box copy. lol oddly enough Blizzard seems to be emphasising physical more than digital right now when it comes to other retailers carrying the game. Im sure they would sell more if they provided digital deluxe codes for others to give out.

Retail gets shipped to retailers, digital doesn't, only Blizzard themselves sell their games online, anyone else selling digital isn't doing it "officially", they have in fact made digital purchasing more relevant with the offer of CE upgrades, even if only the in game extra stuff.

Ya I meant like giving GreenManGaming or Gamersgate copies to redistribute. Both those sites are doing quite well as the middle men for great deals on Steam and Origin keys. Sure they are middle men but product reach is quite far as a result.

lol even if they do, what difference would it make? Newegg is extremely good about shipping and is one of the best online retailers out there alongside Amazon.

If you're an Amazon Prime member you get free 2-day shipping, so I'm hoping Amazon price matches. :D

That's a nice deal, but I have a $25 Best Buy gift card ready for HotS. I don't play console anymore, and HotS is one of the few PC games Best Buy stocks.

Still debating this one... I rarely play single player anything, so buying this purely for the MP, it seems like a steep entry fee.  And it's not a bad game MP, but I kinda feel they didn't make the gameplay fresh enough from SC1.  I don't see this game lasting as long as Brood War did.

Sadly Blizzard lost me as a customer when WoL was in beta.
