Love the Beta. Can't wait for the campaign to come out. Easily game of the year by a million miles. Nothing else comes close.

If Amazon was right and the beta really ends on May 17th, it's going to be a long two months.

That was just the date until you could redeem you're code. No one but Blizzard knows when the beta is over

FFS people. Amazon and Walmart will probably have a $50 deal or at least full price + $10 credit. They did that like crazy with MW2 - hell they even went up to a $20 credit with the purchase and Id so jump on that for this game. Chill out people. You will be able to get it for $50 at least at release.

I'll just for the sake of simplicity accept the premise that the non-pro level Koreans are somehow generally better than average American players before I point out that the game matches people against people with a similar rating anyway. Anyone who is not way near the bottom or way near the top of the ladder should win roughly 50% of their ranked ladder games. From what I can tell from playing the beta, there will be one Starcraft II account per CD key, so there shouldn't be much smurfing going on either. (It kind of sucks for any household where multiple people play the game on the same computer though I guess.)

I'm not surprised by the date at all. I figured it pretty much had to be June or July based upon when they started the beta and when people could start preordering the collector's edition. I actually figured more along the lines of the first half of July though really.

I'm a little surprised actually, I figured they would try to capitalize on the summer gaming increase and get it out sooner. Oh well, at least I am already in the beta....

Im liking the beta, but not as blown away as I thought I would be. The game is the same yet very different. Regardless, first day buy for me. SC Had some of the best RTS campaigns ive ever played, great story. The new battle.net is awesome as well.

MW2 sells for $60 and there was a worldwide nerd riot. SC2 is priced the same, and not a peep from anyone. Interesting.

No, you can't compare the two games (different genres, and, yes, MW2 is crap), but there were a lot of people claiming that $60 was too much for any PC game. Unless that game is SC2, apparently. :-)

60$ is the norm for Blizzard games at launch.

IW always launched games at 50$ and made a direct console port of MW2 instead of PC's own version. There was a lot of fuss about MW2 way before the price tag was announced.

Even if IW made PC's own version with dedis and an acceptable player limit, SC2 would be way above MW2's league, in virtually every aspect.

Your smartass-ness is neither justified nor welcome.

That's because a starcraft game comes out every 12 years, where a call of duty game comes out every year. See the difference?

Hmm...thinking of getting this; I put alot of hours into the beta. Releasing the game into 3 parts, though...but that collector's edition looks awesome. Curse you Blizzard!

Oh, I have an extra beta code (none of my friends are interested)--first one to inbox me can have it. (Excuse my ignorance if this is against the rules) I'll check my inbox later to see who replied first.

I'm merely calling out those who stated that no PC game is worth $60 (a console tax, they argued, that PC gamers shouldn't have to pay). SC2 reveals them as hypocrites. If you really, truly, have a problem with paying $60, then you've got to point the finger at Blizzard, too.

Actually, in other threads I have repeatedly seen people griping about the price and especially about the fact that it will be three chapters (as opposed to Blizzard's normal two :roll: ), so there goes that theory. Also, MW2 broke some kinds of sales records, so...yeah, vocal minorities and people who are full of it and what not. I don't care about it one way or the other simply becuase it's a FPS and that entire genre is rather boring as far as I'm concerned.


I think people griping about the $60 price point for games in general is kind of dumb. Adjusting for inflation, $60 today is equivalent to $50 roughly seven and a half years ago. If people think that new full retail games are still going to be $50 decades from now when that is the cost of a fast food meal, those people need a serious reality check.

MW2's price tag made a lot of noise because it was riding the IW.net's wave, and previous CoDs were priced at 50$. If the 60$ thingy would have been announced as soon as MW2 was revealed, you can bet noone would have had a problem with it.

While I agree that they are hypocrites, this thread is not the place to discuss it.

Damnit, you ruined the mood :cry:
