Wow, this is going to be nice. $100 does seem a little steep for a collectors edition of anything, but the fact that we have been waiting for a decade for this kinda makes up for it. Almost...

I don't get it 100 bucks for all that?

no I'm not going to say THATS All? because that seems like too much for just what you would expect from a collectors edition. seems like it's lacking something almost like an actuall mini thor model. Speaking of which what is with blizzard and thor god hes getting so much attention (he does deserve it, he kicks alot of ass)

god I would love a mini thor model more then a colouring book and a prequel to spider man vs. iron man vs some sort of super hero with protoss like powers.

What is up with so many people complaining that StarCraft 2 got "split up" in three parts? It's already been confirmed that the Terran campaign in Starcraft 2 has 30+ missions which is about the same amount as three races in the original game, the other two campaigns are considered as expansion packs, which are also in about 30 missions in size along with several added units for multiplayer as well.

Probably because it IS split up. Yeah, the Terran campaign has 3 times as many missions as the first game. And when I was done with the Terran campaign, I COULD MOVE ONTO THE NEXT RACE. The race was in there, no need for an expansion, I could continue the story. The whole story is what is split in three, and that's what is a rip-off.
Could you be any more ignorant? Do you want a well crafted story or do you want 3 races with 10 missions each slapped onto each other? You'll get your zerg and protoss in the multiplayer, stop bitching.

they are probably pissed because if you think about it they spent 10+ years making this I think splitting it is a slight kick in the balls. Because people see this and go "oh look starcraft 2 FINALLY no wait we still have to wait."

Ok thats pretty darn cool and i'm going to get it. But I have one issue with this Collectors Edition. Why is there no T-shirt like there was with Starcraft 1? Me wanty t-shirt!

But in all seriousness when can you order the collectors edition?
I'd say wait until Heart of the Swarm or Legacy of The Void comes out. I'm willing to bet we'll be getting a shirt with something to the effect of "My Life for Aiur" written on it.

Would have been a buy if it came with a discount for the protoss/zerg campaign (the ones I actually care about).

I am tempted to pick this up and then try to make some money back a couple months later on selling the WoW pet to some silly pet hoarder. (No offence to all the hunters out there, I mean the silly NCP collectors)
Same here.

I've got the money, I think I'll buy it. It's one of those things I'd regret not getting, even if it turns out to be disappointing.

I mean, look at that badass box!

That looks awesome. It sounds scary that I'll eventually spend $300 on Starcraft, but hey, there are people that play monthly for WoW and they don't get anything as cool as Jim Raynor's motherfucking dog tags.

I don't see the point in including the original game. People who've never played it will get it free (if you consider the additional $40 for the collector's edition to be free), but unless it has improved compatibility with Windows 7 I don't see what will keep players with the original already installed from deleting it.

This didn't stop me from preordering right away, of course.

What multiplayer?

No, in all seriousness, why should I be satisfied with having to put up with hooting dickholes on the internet just to play the other races? I'm in it for the story, not the multiplayer, and if you had read any of my posts with John Funk you'd understand what I meant before you showed your obvious ignorance.

Oh, and the original StarCraft wasn't 3 races with 10 missions slapped together, so yeah, I think I'll keep bitching.

Wan to buy! Seriously though, whenever Blizzard announces the date, I'm going to be pre-ordering this collector's edition.

Maybe they'll release a collector's edition that includes the whole damn game. And not just a third of it.

Just a thought.

(The only collector's editions I've bought was the Ultima IX one because it was 20$ and came with those neat tarot cards, and the Fallout 3 one because that lunchbox was freaking sweet. Oh, the game was nice too.)

The fact that i didn't even kno this was out until someone from EB rang me just before to ask if i wanted to change my pre order to this edition. I said yes quickly and simply.
Stoked. I guess its an advantage to preorder the game in september last year.

Retailing for $100 is a bold move, considering other CEs top out around $80-90.
Well, let's do the math:

$60 for the base game.
$10 for a 2 GB Flash Drive from Best Buy [http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+2GB+USB+Flash+Drive/9682323.p;jsessionid=346D01199867995E429D80781F5414E0.bbolsp-app02-20?id=1218145925261&skuId=9682323&st=flash%20drive&cp=1&lp=2].
$15 for the Starcraft Anthology on the Blizzard Store [http://us.blizzard.com/store/details.xml?id=110000124].

So right there we already have $85 worth of stuff. So the art book, the soundtrack, and the in-game goodies (including WoW pet) are all stuffed into that last $15, the artbook alone which would probably run for about twice that if it was sold in book stores (since it's probably hardcover and has over 100 pages).
