I wonder if any other games other than made by BLIZZARD get this kind of attention on release day :D

The London launch was a lot smaller, but also very epic.

Funnily enough two guys dressed as Stormtroopers crashed the party with a boombox about 1 hour before opening, but they got kicked off. Was a chuckle though. One of them took a photo with his buddy in the "Be a terran marine" box.

Says it all, PC Gaming is very much alive, Blizzard hold the banner for games of storytelling, visually dynamic graphics, gameplay accessible for the novice, while providing depth for the hardcore.

Blizzard well done. Fantastic Game, Fantastic Launch. Well Done Indeed!

OT: I think the problem with the pc game market is developers push out so-so titles which on a console are acceptable, but PC Gamers will not accept, developers then don't bother with PC games as they see it as the PC market is small, when in fact their product simply isn't good enough. Companies like Blizzard polish games, and cater for the PC Player and as such get the following of the fans, if other developers, produced games like blizzard, blizzard would have more competition, and give the gamer a much larger library of games.

I heard rumours of almost 2 million sales worldwide on release day (excluding Korea and other "pay-to-play" countries), which is absolutely amazing! More players, more fun, and SC2 is a great game regardless of sales!
