Blizzard had previously said that they would offer fans a way to purchase and download StarCraft II. Now Blizzard has posted up word that people who want to go the digital download route can now do so. The digital download verison of the long awaited sci-fi RTS game is available on Blizzard's Battle.net site (you have to have an active Battle.net account).
Blizzard is letting people pre-load most of the game right now without having to pay to do so. Blizzard will make people pay to finish the download and play the full game at 1 pm Eastern time on July 27 (and yes both Windows and Mac versions are available). Obviously that means people who wait for midnight launch events to purchase the retail version of the game will get their copies first.

Did you guys know that the off the shelf copy of Starcraft 2 here in South east asia is $20's more expensive? we're pretty thankful that Blizzard is hosting a direct download so that we can go around that added cost. its just annoying that some publishers are really trying to ride off blizzard's success while jacking up the price at the same time.
Good thing is, is that Blizzard knows that their customers will always go straight to them before opting to go with an overpriced copy that they're trying to sell off here in SEA as a "pre-order" when you don't get the hologram card, and you get it ON launch day.
