The important bit: Blizzard has announced that StarCraft: Brood War, the company’s highly anticipated official expansion set to 1998’s biggest strategy game begins hitting stores in the United States and Canada today. The initial shipment will continue to roll out into stores over the next several days. The expansion set is available in Windows 95/98/NT format for about $30 in stores.
