I can put out a sign on my lawn saying STARCRAFT II OUT TOMORROW. Doesn't mean I know. By the way, don't post these threads again. It's nothing personal, it's just that there are a lot of these type of threads "Target/Fryz/Gamestop/Amazon/ETC" suspects of date. If blizzard announced their EXPANSION release date, then I'm sure a wanted RTS vanilla game will get its proper announcement. So as you can see, this thread and the likes, are useless.
I found Starcraft 2 on sale at Bestbuy.com and it says that Starcraft 2 is projected to be released in late Feb :D. and at a huge cost of 60 USD :cry:pvtdonut54

Blizzard has announced nothing.... so don't believe anything till you hear it from them.
Bestbuy is the only one that has this release date. There is no reason to expect they would have any special information from blizzard. They are just an electronics store. Aside from that the average price of a pc game is 50 not 60.
Obviously just to increase pre-order sales. Seriously, don't expect Starcraft 2 anytime soon..... Q4 09 is the absolute earliest it's coming, and I doubt it will even be that soon.
IF it does then DOW2 has it beat in my books, not enough money for 2 sci-fi RTS games, and my personal preference is for DOW. don't think they would anyway, why would bilzzard try rushing a game to compete when they could take their time, make it better than if they rushed and not have half their audience playing on a different game. Also i don't trust bestbuy. should probably have put that point first.
[QUOTE="Begemott"] Ok, let's try again. [QUOTE="Erlkoenig"]It's not "probably", it's 100% wrong. Nobody knows the price and release date.pvtdonut54
it seems as though Bestbuy does...:P
it probably is wrong. i just felt like posting it. 8)
You're putting too much faith in Best Buy. Companies like Gamestop, Best Buy, etc, do this all the time. They do it as placeholders, and even to get people to start ordering preorder copies of games long before they are even announced for release to generate some revenue in the short term. Until you hear anything official from Blizzard, all of that is nonsense.
zomglolcats is perfectly right: just like Duke Nukem Forever, no one actually knows when this game will release, and anybody BESIDES Blizzard that claims to know is full of it.
Blizzard has a habit of releasing their games around november. Personally I think they will stick to that trend. This means its possible we will not see Starcraft 2 till November 2009. A bit off topic but if they follow that trend its likely we will see a new stacraft coming out every fall for the next 3 years which unfortunately for those diablo fans it could mean 2012 before diablo 3 comes out.

That's okay, they shouldn't rush it, they should take their time. But then we expect it to be awesome or else it's gonna get flamed...lol
What does Diablo and Starcraft have to do with each others release? Think hard right now -- why would a RPG group work on an RTS and visa versa. Excatly, they dont. Blizzard has groups of experts for each genre, they are not a company of 40, or whatever number you imagine, that work on one game at a time as the company whole. That's why you don't see more than one RTS coming out at one time.

Blizzard said D3 would come out after SC2... But I don't think they specified that it would be after all 3 games were out, so people are just making stuff up when they say stuff like that. I don't really think Blizzard would have announced D3 yet if the release date was 4 years out...
[QUOTE="thusaha"]$60? That's expensive for 1/3 games.w0lfbreeder
starcraft 2 fanboys inc...here, take this shield.
It doesn't take a fanboy to see how stupid that statement is.. Look at Blizzards track record.. When was the last time they released a game for full price with questionable amount of content? NEVER, infact most times they go above and beyond when it comes to content and such.

If it were being released in Feb, I wouldn't consider it rushing.. The game has supposedly been in development for 4 years already..
