KavazovAngel: Thank you very much! :D But before I use it, is there a way to change the region, since the game's activation page shows that the region is NA?

I'm not sure. I'd try poking around on the forums.

Does anyone know where I can find the music they play in the beginning bar/ships' cantina? I'd like to hear it more clearly, and I liked some of it. It's pretty great fake country.

This may be the Startcraft 2 sound tracks you are looking for.

Yeah, but that doesn't seem to have the cantina music, which is what I'm really after. The orchestral score is nice and all, but I'd rather listen to their mock-ups of country music in higher quality.

TheCheese33: ...

On the second page comments of this youtube video a user states -
"The cantina music is also from the movie Independence Day, where these guys question one of the main characters about his alien abduction story. Ironically the whole scene where the music plays is also on a cantina."
I don't remember it in Independence Day but you may be able to track that particular song down with this info. Here is a link to the Independence soundtracks where you may be able to recognize the song.

You can change region on your battle.net account. At least that goes for the retail game.

^ I think it would be better if an US citizen uses the NA guest passes, they'll have a better experience of the game. :)
Still searching for an EU guest pass... Anyone has a spare one? :)
EDIT: Nice sum up by GamesRadar:
You'll love
* The unique single player missions
* Exploring the Hyperion
* Multiplayer matchmaking works great
You'll hate
* Reaching the end of the campaign
* Waiting for Heart of the Swarm
* Waiting for Legacy of the Void

Finally got this tonight and WOW what a nice box. This and the Mass Effect 2 collector's edition renew my faith in game boxes as more than a DVD case and a slip of paper.
Not that most people care.
The first 3 missions were great, the story and interludes really make the singleplayer feel epic compared to most RTS games. I'm not a big RTS fan, I basically play CnC and that's it, but this game I can already feel making me more of a fan of the genre just by virtue of its epic content. Yay!

The game gets so hard at the end. v_v I'm on the second to last mission... I think I made the wrong choice in the mission before it and made my life much more difficult.

Horrible. Even the cinematics didn't feel exciting. I cringed when I heard 'Kerrigan'. Or the stupid blonde. Why the blonde? Yeah I know. Money. BUT HONESTLY?!
The only mission I really like was when you played as Tosh. That mission was fun and different from the usual: Build base - Kill enemy. Gets tedious.
Funny to see how it turned out though. Money and lots of people can get you absolutely no results whatsoever. More chefs in the kitchen, right? When the credits rolled it was, really weird. It was hundreds of names there. I liked their older games. Warcraft 2.
The real problem was that it didn't take itself seriously. Newscast for example, that could have been a good way to tell you about your results and such. But what it was instead was short, quick jokes told by the newscaster. Oh... Funny. Then iGun playing at the bar?
Haven't seen that joked told hundreds of times. I don't even watch television, all I know is all the parodies of the commercial. And I still hate it. Jokes were limited to Terran cinematics before. Rednecks. But I still felt Starcraft 1 was serious in it's tone. Even the graphics.
I don't think they will make a good game again. Things have changed I guess. Time to move on.

Wow, almost all the reasons you said you hated it for are all the reasons why I love this game. I love the news broadcasts, the whole "Redneck Space Cowboy" thing, the missions, the multiplayer, the parodies of commercials, and so on.
As for StarCraft I taking itself seriously? You must've played a different game than I did, because to me that game was full of over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek humor. You take things too seriously. Lighten up a little!
I'm glad Blizzard has put out a game that I love. World of Warcraft never really grabbed me, and I've never been a big Diablo person. But StarCraft II has made me a gigantic fan of theirs.
