If you buy a boxed copy, you can link your serial key to your Battle.net account and download it if you want. Buy if it's the same price, why not get the box AND the download version, instead of just the download version?


So you don't have to go to the store and wait in line with other nerds?


Get it shipped to your house then. Best Buy has free shipping over $40.

Then you don't get it on date of release.

I'll be standing in line at midnight with all the other nerds, because it's worth it to me. I was just answering the question of why some one might prefer a digital download. Me personally, I like to have the physical media to set my drinks on, as well as the book and little flippy charts to read on the toilet.
Don't let me say this, but you're no worse than me; it's crazy.

Which I'm very ashamed of.


yea, this is disgraceful. blizzard had to meld sc2, which could have been the gentleman's RTS of the 21st century, with all the other age of accounts mmorpg micro-transaction bullshit.

The shop I had SC2 pre-ordered at (since 2007!!) just called me as I was reading this thread and asked if I'd like to move my deposit over to a reserved copy of the collector's edition, now that's cool!

I accepted of course

WoW pet selling time!
Oh no

If Blizzard wanted to milk us for money, we would be playing Starcraft 7 by now.

Come now people, you have odd standards for what counts as ripping people off.

Average Price for new PC games in Germany is 43.99€ which equals to 59$
So 60$ for a new PC game is standard in Germany since almost forever

SC2 however is set to be sold for 54€ which equals 72$

Who had any doubts after the Activision merger?

Come on people, you really shouldn't act so surprised.

amazon.de has it for 59.99€. 1:1 dollar euro conversion. Now thats what I call a rip-off. Gonna buy the UK version anyways, since German interface and unit sounds always suck ass compared to the original.

Can someone explain this part? What are "decals" to customize my in-game units? Is it something like additional skins for units? And will the units change be visible to everyone who plays with me or just for me? Same question for the new visually unique Thor. I am confused...
NUTELLA y u no make me skinny?!?

If 10 dollars more is too much for you to pay. Then don't buy the game, the rest of us will enjoy it. I will pick up this collector's edition, because think of it this way. Even if the wow pet sells for a relatively low ebay price of 30 dollars, that brings the cost of the game down to 70 bucks, so in the end you'll pay 10 dollars more over standard for a bunch of extra items. I don't buy collector's editions unless I've been waiting a long time for a game, and suffice it say, I've been waiting for SC2 for half my life (literally since I was only 12 in 1998).

Edit: People can say all they want that 'breaking the game into three is milking us' but the fact of the matter is it is One game and two expansions. There is no chance at all that the two subsequent SC2 releases will be $60 dollars. $60 dollars is the standard price for video games these days, I will never for the life of me understand why people take every opportunity to complain about every product every company releases these days. Its too much money, its too long in development, and a myriad of other things, how about this - If you don't like the product boycott it..... It's an option widely available to everyone. Otherwise buy the game and play it.

$60 seems a bit up there....

wtf, I cant believe people are complaining about $60. In the early 90s I use to pay $80 for console games. A night out on the town can easily cost $60 if not much more. $60 for thousands of hours of entertainment sounds like a fucking great deal to me.

Collectors edition sounds pretty good too. I think I will get it.
