Who on earth ripped you off like that? The Warcraft Battle Chest costs less than that.

I was under the impression that all games in Australia cost more than everywhere else. I know Yahtzee occasionally rants about this.

If you really wanted to buy it you should have just purchased it at the Blizzard Store:

That way you get your cd-keys online and get to download and install the game.

Very true, especially now that the US dollar is ubar weak. I bought 12 months of xbox live for $40 off ebay instead of the $80 it cost here. Companies are used to being in a particular pricing range ($100 for a new game).

aka idmontie

It cost $9.99 at Bookman's for me and last I checked, it cost $19.99 at BestBuy, so, all together, I've only spent 9.99 for 2 copies of SC and SC:BW

Sure I didn't pop off on SCBW like I wanted to, but I won VRChat. Map maker for life.

Hahaha. Power your car on Starcraft.

Just be glad it's as popular as it is, if it was out-of-print it could be as much as 200$ a copy.

Ever looked up out-of-print PS1 games on Ebay?

haha for sure. in some ways it's even more exciting because you can play EUD maps on regular battle.net, don't need to convince someone to download your mod to play with you. what did you do?
