StarCraft II is going to carry a $60 price tag? Ouch. I had set aside $50, but Blizzard is starting to push it. Sure, Infinity Ward and Ubisoft are charging a $10 premium for "high profile" releases, but IW and Ubi have both turned their backs on PC gamers. I may end up waiting for a sale rather than pre-ordering after all. :(

And $100 for the Collector's Edition?! Thanks, but no thanks. Even if I had the money, I couldn't justify the extra $40 (or $50) for bonus content.

But those with gainful employment and expendable income are welcome to it.

Just, wow, a hundred bucks? Is this standard practice now?
 
Believe that would be Activision's pricing. >.>

So what kind of DRM will it have?
