People whinging about the price of something they'll likely put over 1000 hours into is kind of silly... $60 will rarely get you that kind of bang for your buck anywhere else.

The price should really be more than $30, but let's see how greedy they go....

If it's too high, I'll prolly go 'underground' and play illegally...

So If I was to pre-order this game, would you get an actual CD key emailed to you for digitally download upon release, or does the CD Key just come with the game and you can digitally download it once you receive the CD Key in the mail??? Just curious since I'm on a deployment but still wouldn't mind supporting TL by ordering the game....

I love how this forum is full of people who have gotten hundreds or thousands of hours of entertainment out of WoL for $60 and have to take the opportunity to complain about the possibility of having to pay as much as gasp a hundred and eighty bucks in the end, even assuming they charge what Amazon is estimating, which is very unlikely.

Even if they charged $100 for the game and another $100 for each expansion, SC2 would be about the cheapest entertainment I've ever bought on a price-per-hour basis.

So, in your opinion, what should be the REAL price of the game, seeing how you think they'd obviously still be underpricing it even if it was $100?

p.s. not all of us play the game religiously.
p.p.s. I bought a TV for $150 and I think they should charge more because it's way too cheap $/h.

Since you don't play religiously I think you should pay maybe $43, and people who play a lot should pay $72.

P.S. TV's should be $328
P.P.S. or maybe $397

I wouldn't totally object to a $40-50 price. I mean let's compare the CoD franchise where they annually rotate in a poorly tuned game at a $60 price tag and gleefully nickel and dime it's audience as much as possible. Think if SC started doing subscription fees a la WoW style for Multiplayer @_@. Mercifully, Blizz doesn't do any of that shit for the core gameplay and does the TF2 thing where cosmetic / vanity items cost $.

Most people overlook the fact that Amazon simply posted the maximal price and Blizz has said in the FAQ that HotS will ring up closer to a standard expo price. Don't blame Blizz for the price speculation, blame Amazon for trying to cement early sales with pre-emptive pre orders.

Haha, Peoples are so stupid. Did you guys even read what they wrote about the Price? I guess the final price will be around 30$.

It's rather amusing because $60 is $30 less than what I payed for the full game :p

Is there any bonus for pre-ordering? And honestly, I think pre-ordering with no release date or price is kinda silly.


Well, you support TL through this, which is a pretty good cause since you're paying the same price anyways....

You can wait and order it through TL later on too. There's no reason to press the issue here at all. This is up because some people like to order as early as possible. If that is not you, no biggie.


So this means we can still order through TL when the games release is closer (like 2 months from now)? I am for sure ordering the game from amazon.. so why not help TL at the same time.. but I cant at this moment so just making sure the offer will still be here.

I'm thinking it's gonna cost around 40 $. No way in hell they can take as much as 60 $! ^^

One would think buying a digital copy is the cheapest option, but my credit card knows otherwise from WoL.

The cheapest solution is probably to get a physical copy and use the key on your downloaded client.

Because making and shipping a CD/box, and then letting people download the client anyways apparantly is cheaper than letting you just download the client with a key in the first place (I know there are other forces at work here, just ranting).

At least I get to support TL

Yes. That's exactly what it means, you'll get the US version. You'll be stuck on the US servers, provided you'll be able to even install it over your EU WoL version.
