Anyone considering buying Starcraft 2 should be aware of the following:

Anyone buying an AUS version of the game will be region locked to south east asia! This insane decision by fail blizz will mean you will be playing mostly with non english speakers and unable to play with any US friends and anyone who preordered from US to get a beta key (hickling, petra, nick myself).

So I highly recommend purchasing a US copy online if you still plan to play the game.

In conclusion fail blizz noobs grrr......

Thanks to Jerry for organising; posting it here as an announcement to increase visibility:


I have us penciled in for a morning session (starts 9am), there is a 25$ deposit that needs to be handed to me before I make the final booking on my CC.

the venue http://paintballgames.com.au/info_coldstream.htm located at Melway 277 E 8 3-5 Maxwells Road, Coldstream

I need to know numbers ASAP, so i can properly book the time.

There is a 99$ special that includes 600paint balls and overalls etc (i think boxes are extra... but worth it if you havent got 1)

Invite your friends if you would like but please get back to me (Jeremy) as soon as you can. I need to pay the deposit before the 17th

Thanks guys i hope to see you all there
