http://www.blizzard.com/store/browse.xml?f=c:1,c:7 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.
