Poll: Will you buy the Standard or Collector's edition for StarCraft 2?
(Vote): Standard edition
(Vote): Collector's edition

While reading about SC2 on wiki I noticed that both a Standard edition and a Collector's edition will be available for purchase:

"On April 8, 2010 Blizzard officially announced that the game will be available in a standard and collector's edition. The game will also be available for download shortly after release. The collector's edition will come with an artbook, 2GB flash drive, behind-the-scenes DVD, soundtrack, comic book, and redeemable codes for downloadable content."

Which one will you buy?

More info can be found here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=118913

As much as i love everything SC related i'll be settling with the standard edition because i'm not really filthy rich at the moment and all i'm really interested in is playing the game anyway.

Are you kidding me. It's a pc game so it makes sense to give a flash drive. Why would a gamer need night vision goggles.

Also, it comes with broodwar which is awesome.

Standard, the only thing worth getting from the collectors edition for me would be the art book and thats not worth the extra $40. Also the 'bonus' downloaded stuff to affect the game will likely be in a torrent first day of release or already in the MPQ files so all I'll have to do is crack them open and put the files in the right places.

Collectors edition easilyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
The collector's edition will come with an artbook, 2GB flash drive, behind-the-scenes DVD, soundtrack, comic book, and redeemable codes for downloadable content.

I would pay like $50-$75 for that on it's own lol; may as well get the collectors edition.

None of the CE shit is worth the money except the USB key itself(excluding the contained SC+BW). This is just another way of blizz milking money by putting all those useless junk in a box and slap a 100$ price tag on it.

yo who doesn't want night vision goggles? i mean you can see at night come on! even if i had no use for it (i don't) i would make use for it.

you can:
read in the dark
play with knives in the dark
go out at night and hide behind cars
get food from the kitchen without turning on a single light
make food in the kitchen without turning on a single light

geez come on, the applications are endless!

Putting out two SC games in 12 years with an optional collector's edition like most games = milking

I'm probably going to buy all the collectors editions for these three, think about it it's like buying one every four years because SC1 came out 12 years ago with no expansion pack, plus you have time to save up for the next two
You make it sound like there's a correlation between what should happen and what actually happens. I mean, life is chaotic and it's often unfair. I know it is for me.

I'm going to buy the collector's edition and sell the thor pet.

I don't really care about most of the in-game content but the art book, the DVD, and the thumbdrive are awesome.

Selling the Thor pet wont be possible. It will be attatched to the account your SC2 account is attached to.

But on a point more relevant to the thread , I will be buying the collectors edition not only because its a good buy in terms of individual prices of goods , but because in my opinion it would be nice to have.

Prolly collector's edition. I probably won't use any of the extra stuff but... I just... have an urge to get. xd
Actually I might rip the soundtrack but it's not like I couldn't get that elsewhere

I guess it would depend how much extra the collectors edition would cost. Most of that extra shit sounds pretty neat but I wouldnt be willing to pay like twice as much to get it.

I'll be getting the Collector's Edition. Mainly just because I can. Also I heard that the 2GB Flash drive is going to be Jim Raynor's dog tag's which imo is pretty cool. Also I want the CE for the Comic Book set since this one is #0 it would just be nice to have the whole set so far.

Collectors, I want the art book, it's huge, something like 140 pages if I'm not mistaken.

Edit: I'm gonna keep the sexy box forever, and if I ever become homeless I'm gonna live in it :3
