It's not "too" expensive, it's just expensive relative to what you are getting. If you are just playing for ladder, $40 is an overpayment compared to what other (new multiplayer) games you can get for the same cost. You are actually allowed to say something is overpriced even if you can afford it. Shocking right?

Though people do have a point, the blizzard store is usually in the higher price ranges, you'll probably be able to get it a fair deal cheaper if you put some effort into it.

Brood War used to cost $30, adjusted for inflation and stuff, $40 isn't too bad. On the other hand, there was no eSports scene back then.

On Eu Battle.net it says 40 Euros. I think that is way too much. I wont buy it for that price, that is for sure.
You will propably be able to buy it cheaper elsewhere, but 40€ is a joke pretty much.

People forgetting that $40.00 is blizzards price for digitl version. This is always $5-10 more than what you pay for a copy via any other retailler.

Without much research i can pre order a physical copy for "Price Promise £29.86" so im pretty happy with the price

And if that is the release date, lol blizzard failed on that one xD


UK£ 29.86 = 47.456498 US$ (src: google)

congratz.

40 euros for an expansion, lol. 40 dollars are kinda ok for Europeans since the dollar is shit these days, but I doubt I can add an american expansion to my European WoL.

40 € as usual. As we all know: 1 $ = 1 € = 1 £ ;-)

And what did BW add, really. A bunch of upgrades that made units go faster or have longer range and two new units per faction.

Lets face it, some people expect it to be $10.

Actually if you only use part of the content you have no right to complain.
This is like people complaining cod costs to much since they only play the 4-6 hour single player.

I'm gonna be honest, that date looks like December 3rd. Most of the time that is how dates are written in that format. For example today is 11/13/12. But I guess it could be March 12th.

I was worried about this as well, but the date says 03-12-2013 for me on the US site, maybe they changed it.

Stop whining and vote with your wallets people. If it's too expensive, don't buy it.

I'm sure as hell buying this.

I wasn't quite old enough, but I heard back in the really early days spawning pool costed 150? $30 for 4 pools isn't what I have in mind for value. Granted, nobody actually knew how to play back then.
