A little over 30 hours since Australian release, the internet is exploding with StarCraft II, as are the Battle.net servers. Despite those intermittent problems, Blizzard have spoken out, clearly proud of the game's release. And so they should be, with hugely popular midnight launch parties and an estimated 3 million copies to be sold this week, according to industry analyst Michael Pachter.Even Total War developers, Creative Assembly, have applauded the game. They claim that StarCraft II helps "prove that the PC is more than capable of being a triple-A platform". In fact, it seems that everyone is applauding the game as user reviews flood blogs and forums, most of them positive. There is a list of bugs beginning to lengthen however, but Blizzard seems like they're well and truly on the case.
For those of you who haven't yet bought the game but intend to, ignore our previous advise and do not buy it digitally at Battle.net - pricing is now available and it's a staggering $89.95 AUD! While this is still $10 cheaper and Game or EB Games retail, you can pick up the game for $69 from JB HI-FI or Dick Smith. You can still download the digital copy, as long as you have your retail key plugged into your Battle.net account.
