And you can thank Activision for splitting it up into Starcraft 2 into 3 separate games, one for each race. So $180 to get the whole "starcraft 2" story.

It'd be pretty outrageous if they sold all 3 games for $60. More likely they'll release the following 2 campaigns as expansion packs for $40 at the most - if they try to sell all 3 games for $60 they might experience blowback in sales.

You can bet they'll be looking at Starcraft 2 WoL sales to determine the pricepoint, those bastards.

the difference is that I wouldn't go anywhere near NW2, but I would either shop around for a cheaper price or wait for price drop with SC2.

Here are a few that state quite clearly that they are expansion packs:

Given that the core multiplayer gameplay is availible inWoL - they'd have to offer you incentives to pick up the expansions.A price cut is inevitable imo.

[QUOTE="Super-Trooper"][QUOTE="mushi799"] If you're gonna use logic then at least analyzed it first. Are you the type of person that considers Half life 2 and its episodes different games? No its one game. Starcraft 2 has three compaigns, each will be sold INDIVIDUALLY for $60. mushi799

Link for the prices, because they did not announce the price for the Protoss and Zerg campaigns and even if they are 60$, each game will be released after at least one year after WoL.

An entire campaign, new units for multiplayer,new maps, editor advancements? nobody will get em if they'll be 60$. Will you still whine when we'll enjoy the quality game(s) that Blizz makes or will you be one of the whiners that are hypocrites and you also buy the game?

OH and FYI WoL has a mini protoss campaign with 5 or 6 missions.

[QUOTE="mushi799"] They're not expansion packs. Blizzard already said they are "individual games". Super-Trooper

From my understanding and hints / information released from blizzard the first game is going to be 60$

The other 2 are going to be priced as expansions... Not sure about the price...

First game:

60$

New battle.net

29 terran single player maps + 1 protoss map... You can play 26 of them in one go...

Full multiplayer (play any race)

The strongest RTS editor ever...

2nd / 3rd game

price : (expansion?)

New features for battle.net (these will also be released over time)

25-30 maps for each race.

New multiplayer maps and units (that can also be used in the editor)

Is Crysis only half a game then since the story didn't finish?
