Basically it uses online content delivery, so if your starcraft CDs are beyond use it'd be a good idea to give this a try.

It's also worth noting that you can register your CD key on there so you can verify you own a game, lets say like starcraft, and download it from there whenever you wish. So sign up and register your cd keys.

Its definitely a step in the right direction for blizzard.

EDIT: It appears it has been taken down.

EDIT2: It's back up.

So this means if your CD is a piece of shi-, you can send in your CD Key online and they give you another, via internet? I don't really see the purpose of this, with the new patch, if done correctly, you don't need the CD to play the game. :D

That only works if you never intend to reinstall the game ever again.

Does this mean that Voy will get a new BW cd?! :D

Wtf. I don't want to put my name and address. It's just a plot for Blizzard to steal your soul!

AfterLifeLochie -- If we were to create a peice of code that creates an index, we could then assign a label to each 'area' it finds. Unfortunatley, I see what you mean: this would be impractical.
