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

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?
