14-track soundtrack.....that worries me a bit.

uhhh, why?

uhhh, why?

Good question.

I think the collector's edition for Warcraft III was about ~$100 give or take. What worries me the most is this bit:

Those who simply want to play the game will be able to pick up the normal edition of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty for $60. Look for the official release date to be revealed in the coming weeks.

Emphasis mine.

Sure, it's only $10 more than what PC gamers are used to paying for games, and it's a price that console gamers have been paying for some time now. Even so, there's been a lot of fuss made about this (Modern Warfare 2 comes to mind), what do you think?

Well; it depends on the length of each track.

I was under the assumption that each individual track is just a segment of the race music but it's probably 4-5 songs per race on each track along with some special campaign music.

I donno.

It's bad enough the set contains The Art of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, a 176-page art book filled with illustrations and concept art that should make an excellent companion piece to the art books for the second and third installment.

Now that is something that I would like to have. But I don't feel like paying $100 for that one item that I want.

There is always ebay?

Also interesting to note they're including a World of Warcraft pet with the special edition. I wonder, how many Starcraft players also subscribe to WoW?

uhhh, why?

Thats the number of tracs in the Beta version. Main theme, battle.net music, 4 for terran, 6 for zerg and 1 for protoss.
Im guessing its the "1 for protoss" part that worries him...
