    I was kinda against the idea of 3 seperate games for each race, but i keep hearing about this, and i think if they did combined them into one game, it would literally cut 2/3rd's of the game out now. I like the way they have gone with this. And I want.

    To be fair, the development only started in late 2003. However, it was delayed until 2005 due to World of Warcraft requiring extra manpower.( The Burning Crusade Expansion) So it's actually 5 years in the making. 100 million USD my friend.

    Pre-Ordered anyone? If you did, you may get a free hat, poster, other stuff! (It depends on what store you get it from. Future Shop/Best Buy promoted it so you get a free hat, then they added a poster.

    Has anyone seen the minimum system requirements? As always the case in a Blizzard's game, it's not too taxing.
    But of course everyone wants to play it with the highest setting right?

    Min is a nivida 6? damn, thats low. I would have thought that minium would have been a nivida 8.

    The Hdd space sounds about right though.

    That's low and that's why it is going to sell a lot. Blizzard games are like that.
    PC games like Crysis didn't sell a lot due to high system requirements, but Blizzard games does not need to be multi-platform to be successful.
    Also, at the highest setting (all ultra) Starcraft 2 looks very detailed. Better than other RTS in my opinion.
    The animation is very fluid and very varied as well.
    Even without AA.

    You can download it but it canonly be playable on the 27th. That's like an edge against the people that buy the retail box version!
