StarCraft II Collector's Edition Revealed

[chozo_hybrid]

To be honest, a complete ripoff. The fact it comes with a little WoW bonus annoys me, I would be buying it for SCII. I and a few other people that play SC don't play WoW.

Plus having the previous game and expansion as a bonus!? Who wouldn't have the old game? Who would buy the new one without playing the old first. And why pay that much when it's cheaper to get the Battlechest.

That's $200 over here in NZ, and I bet the other two are going to be just as jacked up as this.

I am not sold on this at all.

I bet like most collectors editions I want no store in my god damn city will have it.

 

[Nouw]

Holy crap.

Do want.

At first, judging from the post and writing style, I thought the OP was you.

I was wondering whether or not John Funk would pop up in a Star Craft 2 related thread. See you around!

OT:Wait what? A USB shaped like Jim Raynors Dogtag? And it has the originial Star Craft games? A 176 paged book all on artwork?

Hey! At least you're in a place closer to Blizzard's Base Of Operations. I'm in a goddamn place where they don't even have Video Game related buildings. Except for ones I haven't even heard of. In NZ, we only have a couple of stores only devoted to games. I bet NZ will get it though. And I bet you will get it too.

Fuuuuck, that means it'll be about $200 in Australia. Looks like I'll be importing it.[sub]Or just pirating the regular version[/sub]

Wait! I'll convert it! *Quickly does some googling.

It is exactly 107.80 Australian Dollars! But of course they'll probably add like 10 or 20 bucks so 130 maybe? I live in NZ so its probably like 140...

*Quickly goes on EB games.

HOLY CRAP ITS 200 IN NZ!

*Quickly goes onto Eb game au

...lagging so bad. Stupid lag... you're answer will come in a second...

Its not coming up for some reason. Its probably 200 as well or lower.

You are correct... unfortunately....

You're in NZ. Hi-Five man! And yes it is 200 in EB games NZ... it better be cheaper in Korea. I want to ask some relatives...

 

[8bitmaster]

well, im glad I already have a 40$ credit for gamestop, and I could probably find a few more games to trade in for the remainder of the cost. To Gamestop! Away! This needs to be pre-ordered immediatly!

 

[GreyJedi]

I'm conflicted. It looks awesome, and all, but... It's still only one campaign. I'd promised myself to wait for the Starcraft II Battlechest...

...... But this is so bloody awesome...

 

[carpathic]

Were I to buy this, I would just wait till it hit the discount bin.

$100 seems excessive.

 

[ZeoAssassin]

in all honesty, anyone who doesn't play WoW and buys CE can most likely MAKE money from this. im sure the Thor Pet can sell for well over $100. and While it does seem expensive is realy is alot of stuff.

 

[Pearwood]

Say what you want about Blizzard, they always deliver in the end. First I read the FF9 on PSN thread, now this great collector's edition. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket while I'm on a lucky streak.

 

[Chipperz]

Really tempted by this...assuming this comes to UK.

I'm going to start saving, but I'm not getting my hopes up. The chances of Brits getting the good stuff is very, very slim.

EDIT - OK, I've just found out it's being released in Europe. I would have come back sooner but I had to change my boxers. And jeans. And chair.

 

[backlashhg]

Hmm, $100 for only a third of a game?

Uhh, there is NO amount of 'awesomesauce' that can cover up that ugly turd.

Oh please. No, it's $100 for a full game that's going to have two expansions. Weren't we past this already?

Oh, so I get to play the Zerg and Protoss stories in this game as well? Ok then, that is a full game. Otherwise, it's not.

So Dawn of War 2 is 1/4 of a game, am i doing this right? I'm not sure...

 

[Corohan]

If it's any comfort to JaredXE, there's a small Protoss mini-campaign in Wings of Liberty. Seriously, I'd rather have 30+ missions of each race, but have them in episodic content rather than 10 missions for each race. Besides, you'll probably have to wait another 10 years for StarCraft 3, so if you value StarCraft that much this is pretty much a win-win situation given that you get more content and don't have to wait another decade to get something new.

I don't see why everyone is excited. At the end of the day most people wont care about the soundtrack or art book, so that leaves the usb, wow pet, and decals. People here seem to forget you can take your existing copy of starcraft and just put it on your own usb drive and it will run the same. I don't forsee many people buying starcraft 2 collectors who don't already own the original anyways. I also doubt too many starcraft players care about a wow pet. So that leaves excitement for some unique decals and a different unit model. woopide? unless they pre-release screens of'em and they totaly kicks-azz I couldn't care less.

On a side note I actualy used to make custom usb sticks with starcraft and broodwar on them for friends all the time. Had little hydralisks laser etched on them <3 Got the cd-keys from china on the cheap too!

 

[jamesher112]

After I got my free beta key from www.gamebetakeys.com/starcraft2/ I decided I would pre-order the game. I love the game and preordered it from Newegg but NO. . . I won't spring for the $99 version. As much as I loved the original Starcraft, I just don't see where this one merits that kinda cash. . . Sorry, Blizzard!

 

[The_SCSIBug]

Being the lazy troll that I am, I'm just gonna ask: anyone else missing their dog tag?

I just got my CE package delivered to my door this very hour. I rip the shrink wrap off and separate the two halves only to discover that my Raynor Dog Tag replica USB drive is missing! Anyone else have this experience?
