So when are the release dates? Murmurs for SC2 are 3rd quarter 2010. That's a hell of a long way off for pre-orders to already be available, IMO. I don't get it.

Once again raises the question of why would people pre-order in an era of digital download.

I thought there already was a Diablo 3.
Meh, I hated the first one anyway.
Starcraft is so-so.

Isn't it usually cheaper?

Pre-orders are not usually cheaper, but they often include some gizmo of dubious utility.  Dragon Age and Mass Effect 2 are the only games I pre-ordered, and the only ones where I have seen it was really worth the risks.

Btw, Gamespot lists the release for Q2 2010.  Checking various pages, I can only see EBGames offering the pre-order... not sure I trust them...

Why in starcraft 2 I still have too see what my units are doing from 10 feet away? I appreciate that I can select more than what, 12 units at time? But I would still like a freaking battlefield view. :(

I think SC2 will be delayed until January-February based on what I've seen from the beta. All of the basics are complete, it just needs a *lot* of play test and balancing. Right now you can only do 1s and 2s. They haven't even opened the box on 3s and 4s for testing.

Starcraft 2 Beta invite if you preorder from Gamestop.  Very tempting...

A pre order at this point will be money well spent if you're into competitive player v player. They just released the custom map editor, so I'd expect the first generation of user created content to be out soon.
