At the time of this writing, the Blizzard Authenticator is marked as sold out. It isn’t entirely clear whether I missed the opportunity to buy it this morning (and they’ve gone like hot cakes) or they haven’t actually yet been offered for purchasing.
If it’s indeed the former, Blizzard needs to take preorders ASAP. If they’re already sold out, it is quite clear everyone is feeling, like me, that it has instantly become a mandatory tool to increase your account security.
EDIT: Looks like I’m not alone with this disappointment. Siha at Banana Shoulders echoes the sentiment.

I saw that earlier
It would be good if they would take pre-orders. One thing that narks me is the price - 6€ or £6! I notice that the US version is $6.50…do blizzard really think that euros, sterling and USD all have the same value ^^
Wish they’d accept Swiss Francs at the very same price level, in that case it would actually be correct these days, what with the dollar not being worth much anymore
Yeah, I wanted to order two of those during my lunch break today and was quite flabbergasted to see they’re sold out already. Especially as all my US sources do not seem to have that problem. Like Canadians being unable to order any US authenticators.
I think they might actually not have offered them up for sale in EU so far, nobody seems to have seem them in stock by any accounts so far. That said, just a word of caution, don’t order two unless you want to use them for completely seperate accounts eg yourself and a friend or parent. You can’t use two for the same account (eg one for your desktop and one for your notebook).
