Default [Futureshop] Starcraft May 31, 2009... or does it

lol Wat? I thought no one knew when this was coming out.

They have it available for pre-order.
and yet they still are saying this at the bottom of the page:

StarCraft II does not have a final release date and though it may still be a ways off, all we can say is "Hell, it's about time."

I would lol if they sell a bunch of preorders and then it goes the way of starcraft ghost.

Unfortunately that date means nothing

Hell, the announced beta hasn't begun yet and do you really think a Canadian etailer knows something we don't?

Well, I hope they are accurate in the "Price may change" part, cause no matter how much I love Starcraft, I'm not spending 60$ for a game, especially three times -.-;
