Starcraft II, December 3rd Release?

Quote:

Many froth-mouthed fans of Blizzard's intergalactic real-time strategy masterpiece Starcraft have anxiously been awaiting word on when the next installment of the series would land in their anticipatory laps. Blizz has been characteristically tight-lipped about the title's launch window, though we were recently informed that an online SKU search for Starcraft II on Best Buy, Circuit City, and Gamestop's web sites reveal the same supposed release date of December 3, 2008. With no confirmation from Blizzard, it's far from official -- though we imagine this won't stop dedicated zerglings from dropping by the office tomorrow, and requesting off the last month of the year.

I wonder what their distribution technique will be? Since blizzard is huge I doubt they'll use steam... sure wish they would though

[jdeegz]

they have stream, via thier blizzard store at Blizzard Entertainment

they dont have all of thier games on it, atleast when i checked last month.

But yes, records will be had, and nubs will be pwned.

as geeky as this is, and how much id hate to say it..

for the swarm!

hopefully we don't get a release from Blizzard flatly denying the release date like they did when the supposed release date was printed in a Mexican game magazine.

Christmas 2008 would be a Christmas to remember.... that's for sure! and shoot.. I have two weeks off for Christmas. MAN o MAN i know what I'd be playing!

I hate it when huge releases are neighboring. it kind of destroys sR for months

noticed that best buy has a different price for the game than circuit city and game stop. I'd bet it'd be more of a best-buy price. anyways, maybe i'm reading too much into it, but for the most part prices are set and the same regardless where you go. Probably like the whole DNF pre-order thing... I have a funny feeling this is indeed bunk.

not to mention some other places have vastly different dates:

play.com has it listed as September 29th, 2009 :P
