I just picked this up on the Battle.net store. Well not "just" about 9 hours ago. I can't speak to the quality of the game but the quality of the download install they have for it is pure crap. This is a major step back from the system they built for WoW. The last time I installed WoW I did so from their battle.net download client and it took less than 3 hours to do the entire thing including patch updates. I am now 9 hours into the Starcraft instal and am lucky if I can get more than 70kb downloads from the absurd set up they have. I was up to 50% but had the wonderful experience of losing power for two seconds and now lost 20% of the download.
I could have saved myself what will end up probably being 2 days of downloading and just gone to the effin' store and grabbed the box copy. Anyone thinking of getting this game don't bother with the digital purchase unless you are ok with not doing anything else with your computer or internet for a few days.
