$52 for the expansion is really damn steep too, what happened to expansion pricing? I thought it was going to be ~$35?

Am I the only one that thinks it's silly how many people are posting just to say they're not going to buy the expansion? I mean, that's their decision and all, but why go to a forum that is centered around the game just to announce your disapproval? Seems so strange to me.

Well the fact that we're still around means that we are still interested in the game, at least as spectators . I think it's ok to say you're dissapointed in something that you think could be something awsome in the right circumstances.
Would you rather have all the posts be like "omg can't wait" ?
Sorry , but the whole concept that blizzard started with, that they MUST have 3 expansions seems just greedy and just affects every aspect.

Want to bet there will be many features that will be postponed until LotV ? And for what?
I mean what I would be so glad if they would fcking just ask us from the start for 140$ (60+40+40) and fix the game and respond quicker to community requests instead of trying to milk money with expansions .

So now WoL will be dumped in this state with obvious balance issues, now everyone switches to HotS and a few months after the hype, they'll start not giving a shit again 'cause they're developing LotV ?

Awesome. The trailer was pretty cool. I think I'm looking forward to the campaign more than the multiplayer at this point. Which I guess makes sense since lore is what Blizzard said they are focused most on.

im getting really tired of people talking about the price. you know you are going to play the game way more then 40$ worth so stfu already

honestly even D3 who most people considered a letdown, I still put down like 250 hrs into, even it might not have lived up to D2 it was still a worthy purchase

seriously shut up about the prizing, it's sensible, stop being so greedy :s

I know. People have unrealistic expectations on D3. It's great the first 100 hours, even before the patches came in.


no, it's really not. It's a giant, badly written, badly designed turd. Especially before the patches. Activision have always overpriced their products, there's no way in hell an expansion is worth this much money when you have full, high quality titles available for half the price.

I can't wait for this! I know a lot of folks are saying that it's too steep a price however just think of it like this: you have loads of notice to start saving! All I will have to do in the interim is sit here in this corner rocking back and fourth.....

Ok, I'm getting confused over the entire price thing because i'm hearing a lot of different stuff now. From my understanding, there's 3 options?

The upgrade with will be $40
The package which will be $60 (WoL and HotS), and
The Collectors/Deluxe which will be whateverbecauseitstoomuch

Right?

I have no problem with 40$. WoL have provided me with more gameplay than any other game outside of WC3 - TFT. If I were to play other games I would have to buy a new one on a monthly basis (ie. steam would take all my money :-D). Instead I can play SC2 most of the time and sprinkle in a new game 1-2 times a year. Overall that seems like a good deal to me. For anyone who's going to use battle.net laddering it will be a great deal, for anyone only playing the campaign it will not!

Right?

Deluxe Edition is 60$. You can see all of the versions here: http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/buy-now/

To my knowledge the WoL & HotS is just a special deal for now, and wont necessarily remain or be available to all regions.

Pretty weird they announced it so soon. Usually it's two months before release when they announce the date. Maybe it's to get all the tournament organizers on the same page and gives them time to adjust if needed.

I hope this means open beta is imminent then if they're setting the release date for March. Blizzard could really use the extra feedback if they want to get balance as good as they can get it for release.

Still not happy about the current state of Widow Mines too, I hope this doesn't mean they are 100% set on their role as they stand.

Dustin Browder said somewhere that they have no plan for an open beta this time.
