$100 is a sweet deal if you consider the stuff included ...

The 2GB USB flash drive with the first 2 StarCraft games pre-installed alone costs $40.
The artbook is hardcovered, which is a welcome change from the softcover artbooks from past collector's editions.
A behind the scenes dvd with all the cinematics included.
Then there's the soundtrack, comic book, 2 guest passes for SC2, 2 10-day guest passes for WoW, and exclusive Battle.net content.
The game by itself costs $60.
I think the extras in the collector's edition are well worth the money.
P.S. I've played only a few campaign missions and so far, it rocks. Before every mission, there is an interactive Final Fantasy-like menu where-in you can talk to NPCs and explore various rooms/items. You also earn credits for every mission and side mission, with which you can buy building/unit upgrades.

BOHICA - Go ahead, ask me what it means.

I love Blizzard art books in their CEs, but $100 is too much and my WC3 CE is collecting dust.

I'm getting more interested in the game, but the collectors stuff... well...

Haha, I actually did the same thing. Bought the W3 CE, regretted it, and use it as a dust collector *NM*

I don't regret my purchase of WC3 CE. Maybe cause I got it for 1/2 price via ebay. *NM*

Shoulda bought the preorder. No way I'm shelling out 60 for a video game.

Huh? The pre-order was the same price, unless you got a deal somewhere. And so are most games. *NM*

"Most games"... on consoles. 
I'd buy retail, because you get "more" for the same $ as digital.

Warcraft 3, and I think World of Warcraft at launch, were $60. *NM*

I posted a $40-$45 (can't remember) pre-order in one of the other threads we had.

Damnit, I've been specifically looking every day for the past week for deals, and nothing.

Just picked up my copy for $40 at K-Mart, after some frugal post-purchase coupon & return footwork.

Yeah, so that total lie had me convinced for a good 12 hours. Fuck you, Blizzard.

This is a common issue, and there's a fix that might work.

Yeah, didn't Nvidia actually recall some drivers a while back because of a SC2 beta issue?
