Jeez, you guys are making a pretty big deal out of this.

Considering that a typical expansion back for a given game is $30, on top of the $50-$60 price tag for the original content, I think this is a pretty good deal.

Well have to see how this develops...

I am cautious though, I don't get how this is necessary.

well no one expected this to happen. people were thinking that SC2 would be like SC1, with Blizzard releasing expansions to SC2 in the future. No one would have expected that Blizzard was going to split the game into a 3-part trilogy game. Also, if the 1st one, Terran, is going to cost around $50, with the other expansions going for around $30, then the total cost would be around $110, give or take.

SC1 + Brood War cost $50+$30 = $80 when it came out. It was cheaper imo, but then the economy was better back then too so.

Well hopefully this global economic crisis will be over by the time all the expansions come out. But $110 over 3 years wont be that bad considering each expansion is going to come out each year, cost less than a 10 month subscription to WoW.

Let's assume the base game(the one with multiplayer) is standard price and the other two games are priced like WoW expansions.

So that's $49.99 + $39.99 + $39.99 Giving us: $129.97 without tax. That's ****ing unbelievable. I think I'll just spend the $100 or so and get Both Dawn of War II and Red Alert 3/
