Can I purchase a digital copy of StarCraft 2 as a gift?

Question

Certainly I could buy a boxed copy. But is it possible to send a digital gift of StarCraft 2?

Answer

Looks like it isn't possible, you have to have a battle.net account prior to buying a digital copy, but you cannot buy a digital copy for another battle.net account and you cannot buy a digital copy if you already own StarCraft 2.

However, if you live far away from the lucky recipient, you can buy a boxed version of the game, find the serial code, then send it (in a secure fashion) to the recipient - they could then create (or re-use) their battle.net account and add the code there, which unlocks the game. They can later download the game client from Blizzard, like any other digital purchase.
