If you buy retail then $90-$100 (AU) is pretty much what you pay for games in Australia, however most games through steam are way cheaper, they tried for a while to jack up the digital prices to match the physical ones but companies like Valve who kept their prices low ended up getting all the sales so now we get digital stuff pretty much as cheap as the US. That said I paid full price for SC2 in order to get the beta, however I would say that Starcraft2 will be worth every penny. | ||

Europe $61 US (50 Euros) Actually amazone dropped the prize to 44 € and I think this prize is very reasonable. I don´t have a problem to pay 60 € for an awsome game that was in developement for so many years while ea still prizes most of their stuff 50+ and some of them are like bad games to boring films produced in half a year. | ||

http://gameaxis.com/the-official-word-on-the-starcraft-ii-pricing/ I would really much like to buy the legitimate version but RM 248 and the amount of complaints on bnet2... I will wait and observe the response after the launch date and maybe an alternative pricing. | ||

Activision originally tried to market SC2 at console game prices (figuring if they can get away with it for one platform, they can do it for all, or something) as the standard for all pricing everywhere. However in alot of places the plan was shut down due to conflict. But in the regions where they could pull it off without any issues, they seem to have still done so. Ya we got boned this time.. but it's SC2, they get away with it cause they can. | ||
