Upon game launch day, how many hours are you going to wait outside the store?

[tom_mai78101]

I'll be 3 hours outside CostCo. waiting for the big opening morning. I can't stay outside longer than that.

 

[Sevion]

[ReVolver]

[Whitesock]

I'm with revolver.

 

[NightShade]

probably about -1000 hours. give or take a few thousand hours. depends really, I could just order it.

 

[Vicboy]

Haha, I thought you meant you were going to bring a revolver with you.

Anyway, I'm going to be pretty patient about it. Maybe 3 days or weeks after release.

 

[BANANAMAN]

As long as it bloody takes.

 

[Slapshot136]

I think I will wait a bit until I can snag it at a lower price, I don't like paying MSRP for anything

 

[Admit]

Depends on how long it will take them to ship it to my mailbox..

 

[Carnerox]

Ages..

Does anyone know if Blizz will offer a direct download solution?
My guess is that they're probably too old-school for that, but who knows.

They have for the World of Warcraft Expansions, can't see why they wouldn't now. They are gonna want this available to EVERYONE they can considering all the time they put into this game. So yeah, I'm sure direct purchases are gonna be available. Maybe not instantly, but it will definately be an option in the near future after release.

Cool, I didn't know about the WoW expansion distribution. However...
"Maybe not instantly, but it will definately be an option in the near future after release."
Then what's the point? If you ask me, the whole idea of digital distribution is instant, easy access :nuts: I really hope Blizz makes a download available if not before then at the release.

If you have the CD keys uploaded into your battle.net account you can DL ANY of the Blizz games, besides a couple classics.

So yea all you really need is the CD key, and bam, DL it.

The whole point of the question was to know if at release that you can digitally purchase the game (basically the key XD ) online. Yes you can download them now with the key, but at release of most blizzard games, they have to be bought in retail stores. Though the last two WoW expansions were available online. WotLK being available instantly upon release through the blizzard store.

 

[BANANAMAN]

Sure DL'ng them online is easy but unless you have an internet connection that's hella fast Your better off going to a store and buying it.

 

[aussj4link]

Eh my comp probably won't be able to run it worth a crap so it will be a while b4 I play SC2 but it looks like so much fun from the youtube vids. God I need a job... lol.

Yeah. Im going to stand in front of the store untill my mother calls me, saying that my SC2 have come, then i will head back home....
Just so i can watch every one fighting for the last SC2 copys in the shop. Ah, it will be so worth it.

 

[EpicFlux]

Confirmed that their will be direct purchase through blizzard store shortly after release. Hooray!
