Starcraft 2 Wings Of Liberty (PC) Released

  Hey again, Starcraft 2 initially released on July 27, but I still want to blog about this. Of course, if I really wanted this game, I would have pre-ordered months ago like everyone else did, but I decided to just be patient and wait for the price to drop. I mean... me spending $60 on a video game is just not likely to happen. So, I did what I do best and embarked on my quest for bargains and deals. Checking my main online hotspots, I looked through Amazon, Best Buy, Gamestop, and a few others. Kmart actually had a pretty sweet deal not too long ago where if you purchased Starcraft 2, they would give you a $20 game coupon. The only downside I saw to this was the fact that I don't even shop at Kmart and the last time I did was like 2-3 years ago. I was hoping there was a coupon code for Gamestop, but unfortunately there were none that could be applied. As for Amazon, coupon codes are very rare, so I was not expecting anything. I did, however, had a $10 gift card I redeemed through an online survey I took a while back. The problem here is that I "had" the gift card. I actually spent it a week before the release of Starcraft 2 on a pair of Asics running shoes. Now that I can honestly say was an awesome deal for myself. The pair of ASICS Men's Gel Kanbarra 5 Running Shoes sold for $42. Applying the $10 Amazon gift card made the cost go down to $32. Now here's comes in the money saver. The site was having a sale where all shoes were 40% off. That takes off another $17 making the final cost a total of only $15. Oh, and I forgot to mention they offered 2-day free shipping! Probably the best $15 I ever spent. Anyways, back to Starcraft 2. The best price I could find was $50 using cashback, but even at that price, I am still hesitate to click the add to cart button. Well, I guess I'll just have to wait it out. I'll probably just ask one of my friends for a 7-hour guest pass or something in the mean time.
