Blizzard launches new online store

The new and improved Blizzard store opened recently, and it's definitely worth a look. It has a very clean layout, making finding what you want pretty simple. They carry everything from the Blizzard games to the Warcraft action figures to WoW game time. Their apparel selection isn't very large due to that primarily being handled by Jinx, but the store is still worthwhile.Plus, registering for the Blizzard store comes with another perk. You can register for the Beta Test lottery, which is a chance at being chosen for upcoming beta phases of various games. Wrath? Starcraft II perhaps? All of the above? Who knows! I've been considering getting into the WoW TCG, so if I get a shot at a beta test out of it, too... hey, why not?
Edit: The Blizzard EU store is not yet live, but I imagine it will be soon. Sorry, Europe!

Not only does it keep freezing my firefox like all their other sites, I had the same code problem. Had to register using IE.
Cue world implosion in 3, 2, 1...

I had the same issues with the security thing.
In Blizzards infinate wisdom, the security code is written out in lower case, but the code must be put in all caps.
GG Blizzard, d and D dont look the same, but apparently you dont want the lower case on your security code, even if its on the screen like that!

@3 That's very weird, I already tried caps in Firefox and it didn't work. And I used lowercase when it worked in IE.

Thank you #3, i had to use caps in IE to get into the site. Hopefully i get into the beta, thanks for the heads up.

Nice to see it freezes Firefox when changing store sections, until they've loaded.
Some things never change.

Hmm, the browser issues are interesting. I haven't had any trouble yet, using two different versions of Firefox on two different computers. I haven't tried IE yet, and don't particularly want to!

Tried to buy some goodies, thinking with the low USD and all.
The items (all the action figures + 1 shirt ) added up to about 110 bucks...
International shipping..... USD150+........
Seriously....Come on......We're not shipping GOLD BULLION here
