Starcraft 2 is poised to be the biggest game launch in the last few years.  The original Starcraft has been played for 12 years with international competitions taking place multiple times per year with first place prizes over $100,000.  The second version has been ambiguously close to launch for the last two years, we think.

Recently the game went into private beta and people were scrambling to get keys for the game, with some selling on eBay for $500.  Well now you can get a key for $60.  If you pre-order the game at Amazon, you get a beta key.  I can’t express how excited this makes me.

I’m in for one, how about you?
