Starcraft 2 Special edition is a wee bit pricey.

I don't mind paying $60 for this.

And that brings out a point I completely forgot in my little essay several posts ago. I keep forgetting that for the last fifty years economics has had nothing to do with the price of making a product, but everything to do with how much people are willing to pay for a product.

Lest we forget Apple and the legion of people willing to pay a $300 premium for a smaller-case i in front of their products...

StarCraft II is worth $60 to me. To someone who will basically quit Xbox for a while to play just this.
Looking at it from a consumer prospective, I think the digital download should be a little cheaper, maybe $5 cheaper.

But $100... thats a little steep. I think they could've taken out the SCBW of the flash drive, the WoW pet, and maybe dropped down the price to $90, it would be more attractive to me.

If the WoW pet is on a card with a separate code on it, then I'm willing to bet you might be able to sell it for at least half of the cost of the special edition.

Xyvik, I like you, but shut up.

Macs are more expensive because they're worth it. Macs do everything better than PC's except gaming, and that is changing as well. Ive had my iMac for 4 years and it has outperformed and outlived 2 PC's.

The (former) worst apple product is the iPod. iPods suffer from horribly low batterylife. But they certainly make up for it with iTunes.

As for the iPad... its a niche, but its got its place, and if microsoft ever put out a competing product you can bet it wouldn't be nearly as functional as the apple version.

Is that technically legal? Because yeah, If I could get at least $20 for that useless thing I would reconsider getting it.

$100 x 3 = $300 for sc2
$60 x 3 = $180 for sc2

too much digital rubbish, i might sell the pet on ebay but otherwise not interested in collectors.. no statue or raynor marine mask.. wtf?

activision is milking the cash cow..

battlechest $100?

Where did Blizz ever say anything about the expansions costing $60 each and the special edition expansions costing $60 each.

My lord you people need to stop making up these fake figures before people start believing you.

lol bro, you'd sacrifice the drive and pet to knock $10 off but standard at $60 is ok when normal is $50..

Money makes the world go round and that's the name of the game and activision knows this.

I would have been sold w/ somekind of physical CE. (statue, mask, remote control banshee, etc..)

[DemolitionSquid]

the xpacs will likely be 30-40$

Exactly. The most I've ever seen charged for an expansion is $40.
