I'm pretty sure it's been confirmed that you can play the single player campaign off-line you just need to have an internet connection when you install the game - probably to verify that its a legit copy.
It'll probably cost $60 when it comes out which I think is the norm these days. Hell FFXIII is still $60 the last time I checked. I don't know what the big deal is really, it costs like $80+ to import a music game from Jap town so $60 is relatively cheap.
Honestly the game is worth it if you really enjoy RTS games. If the beta is any indication this game is already at a level of polish that most developers don't even achieve in the entire life cycle of their game. Hell the game has been in development for 7 years so if it's not balls to the wall awesome then Blizzard fucked up.

The trend this generation with new games has been PC games being $50 and HD Console games being $60. At least one other PC game has broken this trend (Modern Warfare 2) so I wouldn't be surprised if more of the big-name titles do, too.

I think $60 is fair but I loved Starcraft so I'm biased.
Games are expensive so I just buy games I know I'll play for a while. SSF4 and SC2 are definite buys because I'll play them for I'd imagine a very long time. I'm pretty pumped because there haven't been any games that I've been excited about for a long time. Hell the newest game I've been playing outside of music games was Warcraft III and that came out in fucking 2003.

Kind of sad too cause I REALLY was looking forward to this. (Seems like between this and Command and Conquer 4 RTSs have been getting fucked over alot lately.)

God this game is so awesome. My buddy from Ft. Wayne and I played for about 4 hours yesterday and lost I think maybe 4 games out of 15 or something like that.
The Zergling / Marauder strat that Mike and I did pretty much crushes teams that are in silver.

I've got one unopened plus the expansion (also unopened) both in the old-school big box. Interested?

Why yes I am interested ^_^
I think I just need the expansion. Do you have Diablo II as well?

Mike if you need a CD key there are some sketchy looking Chinese websites out there that will let you just buy a key for like $5.
As sketchy as it appears to be it's legit. I got a Diablo II expansion key from there because I was too lazy to drive to Bloomington to pick up my CDs that are in Riot's closet.

If I'm going to sell them, I'd prefer to sell the game and expansion together if possible.

Welp! The beta ended this morning and as pathetic as it sounds I am literally heart broken.
I will have nothing to do when I get home from work now for about a month. God fucking dammit. I guess I'll play some more DDR or something and try to not be a fatty.
