The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) recently took steps to reduce the frequencey of information leaks regarding future releases, but when will videogame retailers appease publishers and follow suit?
Not today, apparently.
According to Best Buy, Circuit City, and GameStop, StarCraft II, for which Blizzard has yet to announce an official release date, will be shipping to stores on December 3rd of this year.
With no confirmation from the publisher, these listings are about all that the drooling masses of StarCraft fans have to go on at this point. I'm sure that plenty of internet message boards will be alive with buzz during the next few days, but whether the data is accurate or not, of course, only time will tell.

I'm going to say that it doesn't come out the 3rd. I'm also willing to bet that like it's older brother, the gold disk gets stolen.
lol best buy is 10 dollars more. Best buy sucks! :^D
I never trust these sites it isn't like they have a hot line to the developer that everyone else lacks, I'm sure the 3rd of December is just a placeholder date they all put up
its just interesting that THREE companies put the SAME placeholder date (if thats what they did). and why use the 3rd (its a wednesday)? I mean if they really weren't sure why not do like gamestop does and just say the 1st until a more definite date is given?
nevertheless i'd be far more interested in the system requirements (if any)
I'm going to preorder Starcraft Ghost while I'm at it.
Aw, please. Blizzard never announces a release date until the CDs are being mass-produced.
