    Step 4. Feel good because you benefited StarCraft2Forum.org!

    In what way would someone be benefiting StarCraft2Forum.org if they did this? Just advertising revenue? If that's the case then sure that's ok :) Click click away.

    And even with Amazon's shipping prices it might be cheaper then getting it locally from your Non-US country. Only catch is then you've have to wait a lot longer to get SC2 to your door.

    If you live in the US, it qualifies for that Super Saver's Shipping thing (any order over 25USD=free shipping).

    Problem with that is I've gone to digital distribution :(

    It benefits SC2F because we get 5% of the purchase price.

    That's all cool and all, but will it actually be able to be installed as an European version?
    For example: will the special edition stuff even work on eu forums and such?

    With the currency as it is, the game itself will cost nearly as much as here (and the price is ridiculous ~200PLN where new games are usually around 130-160 I think). If I'm also supposed to pay half a new game for shipping it's just not swell.

    I might end up importing or buying from Blizzard though, I'll have to look into it, but they just might distribute it fully localized here like they did with WC3 (although publisher is different, haven't found clear info on this). Long story short there was no way to get it in english unless imported and I'm NOT going to play SC2 in anything but english.
