It's just a cheap way of instantly getting another 5 million+ active WoW subscribers, presumably.

Well that makes more sense, in only four months of paying for WoW they will have already payed as much money as a new copy of SC2 costs.

I think they might make more money this way, since it's practically a way of charging a monthly fee for SC2.

Its another way to get more Wow accounts and user's for some reason, funny thing peopl are stupid enough to buy into it, its either 60 dollars on the day it comes out, or you can get a "FREE" copy if you have a WoW account and pay 15 dollars a month fo the rest of your life. sounds stupid if you ask me.

oh wow, just looked at that again. well, unless they all have accounts anyways, it does seem like you would easily be paying more in the long run if you go that route.

Apparently your WoW account has to remain active in order to play. So essentially you're paying a monthly subscription for WoW and SCII.

It's too late now, maybe for StarCraft 3, so we have like 10 or 15 years to make it.

The modern Blizzard is nothing like the Blizzard we knew and loved back when the original SC or Diablo II came out. This is exactly the kind of ideas Bobby Kotick would come up with to make more money... and since its Blizzard, they get a free pass.

I am just gonna wait until all 3 SC games are in a battle chest for 40 bucks. For release, Il just borrow it or play the single player some other way.

Well they are trying to push for WoW being more popular in that country. At the moment there are only 2 Battlegroups in Korea, which is disappointing considering the fact that how popular Starcraft is.

Its better than paying $150-180 for one game that gives the illusion of being three.

They never said it's going to be 60$ a pop, they said the other two are going to be priced as expansion packs. They claim the content will be similar to that of what the frozen throne did, except times two.

Either way there's no solid proof of them scamming us quite yet for SC2 :P

It's questionable, but it's not like they can't play WoW, they are paying a monthly fee for both games instead of just the one.

I'm pretty sure most Koreans know how to calculate math. Don't think anyone would buy the deal unless u had a Wow acct to begin with.

It seems that way Looks like they're trying to get even more people to sign up for WoW, so they can drain more than just 60 bucks from them in the long run.

I guess it's a Sorry for losing price for getting out of the World Cup Lol, like they even care about that or are even aware of the World Cup or sports that aren't PC games.

Only sc fanboys and noobs pay $60 to buy a starcraft HD (starcraft 2).

it should be sold at $15-20 like those remake HD games on xbox live.

lol after 12 years, it has nothing new, still same shxt. Meanwhile, fps and rpg has made a lot of new elements and features.

[QUOTE="Arbiterisl33t69"]I guess it's a Sorry for losing price for getting out of the World Cup Lol, like they even care about that or are even aware of the World Cup or sports that aren't PC games.

In case you haven't noticed, the last world cup match against Uruguay was the most watched TV program in the history of Korea (77% out of ALL Korean population was watching the match at one point), not to mention hundreds of millions of people who turned up in the streets with red shirts to cheer for our team at midnight. I remember when I was in Korea in 2002, our school had special holiday during the World Cup after we made it into the Round of 16.
