Maybe it's just online then.

Anyone know if the gamers gift card will work with the WC3 expansion when it comes out?

$30 for the game plus the $10 gift card in the mail seems like a pretty hot deal to me. Essentially $20 bucks for 26 new single missions, 9 new heros, etc. etc.

You're right, the one thing blizzard doesn't do well is customer support. I bought a copy of Diablo II, but didn't have a chance to install it before i was unable to return it to the store (i think there is a 30 day return period). Anyway, when I finally went to install it, i noticed a huge gash on the Play disc, which was under the plastic coating on the bottom of the disc, it was actually on the silver stuff which is under that plastic stuff (?) it's kinda hard to explain, but it was OBVIOUSLY a factory defect, and it made the game unplayable.

I tried everything to get ahold of Blizzard, but they would not do anything about it, all I needed was a new play disc, i already had the cd key and everything. A good company would have fixed something like this.. they offered that if i sent back the play disc with 20 bucks, then they would send me a new one.. i told them to piss off and i cloned a friend's cd.

BB has a gift card by mail. CC has a gift card instantly. Is it possible to show the CC ad to BB customer service and get a $10 gift card instantly as well?

Well...Blizzard is a pretty good PC game company, but they are no where near perfect as some of the acclaims here described. Let's not forget how long it took them to balance SC and WC3 even after their long in-house testing and public betas. Also they had an unreleased possibly crappy game WarCraft Adventures. Granted they produce some of the most stellar games in history, but much of their credits are enhanced by the dismal "products" of numerous game companies. Just like 11 bad apples make 1 good apple golden. The expansion should not cost 30+ if you compare all the other expansions of other games. They add maybe like 25-30% of relevant content to the original game while charging over 50% of a full game price. For me, I'd rather them develop StarCraft 2 earlier (if they do) or just add 4 new units to WC3 using patch even though I am an avid Blizzard and Warcraft fan. Bought and played all Blizzard games + expansions (yes even the War2 Bnet Edition after playing War2 on Kali for years). Blizzard will always rake in crazy amount of money (even in this economy), and I'll always disapprove of their expansion policies. In the end, Starcraft is still best!!

a decent deal in Micro Center,

there's a $5 off $25 coupon this week you can use instore (it's in their in-store ad)

then they're offering a free $10 Giftcard on the spot (no mail-in scam from BB)

So it's

$34.99 - $5 - $10 gift card = $19.99 + (tax on $29.99)

BTW:

The gamers gift card will work on this item. So you pick up the game for 29.99 plus tax and get the $10 GC in the mail. I would have rather jumped on the microcenter deal, but I already had the gift card...

It's not just that it's $35 for an expansion, but that it seems like a rather weak expansion. I've seen the update logs and I'm not really impressed.

9 new heros, 26 new missions, 14 new units, player built shops, new upgrades across the board

Pardon me asking, but what else are you looking for?

I have a non deal relevent question. In WarCraft III , did anyone beat 1 against 2 computer easily? I'm not hardcore gamer, but i just like to find out if anyone beat 2 computer or even how many computer can you beat?

Central Computer's ad in the personal technology section of the San Jose Mercury News today said they have it for $25.97 or something like that. Walk in and pay tax and that's what you get.

I was a beta tester for this game by the way - the game mechanics have changed a lot. If you're not great at scouting your opponent's base and figuring out what he's doing so you can counter it, it is really hard to win. Huge masses of one or two units will get slaughtered by some of the newer units/heros easily.
