    I only want to play the single player game too cause most of the fun I had with SC1 came from single player and use map settings game "mods" in multiplayer.

    However, I am NOT paying $50-$60 for a THIRD of the game.
    So, I will probably pick it up in a few years when they do a battle chest release of the whole game.

    Blizzard is incredibly greedy.

    I want to play the SP, but 60 bucks is a lot for that game. I'm going to wait it out for a while.

    It is a little on the pricey side. However the price is not to bad, as it is about 1 hour of work. So I think it is fare to some extent. Stupid Activision/Blizzard for the $60 price instead of $50.

    Let us know how you like the game. I'm going to the mall today, hopefully I can keep the card in my pocket lol.

    Sadly I gave out my 2 passes already to friends. The game comes with 4 passes, 2 for wow and 2 for SC2. Maybe you can score one of those for a trial of 14 days?

    Does the trial cover the SP campaign 9 (I doubt it)? That's really all I want to play.

    A friend gave me a trial CD for it, but it says its for 7 hours of game time. Not nearly what I was expecting, I assumed it would be for 14 days.

    wait... I haven't been keeping up with SCII. (as I'm more of a C&C fan even from the beginning)

    anyway. they want $60 for EACH RACE CAMPAIGN?! so it's $60 x 3 = $120 for the entire game?!

    If that's the case You have to got to be kidding me...

    Well the main draw of the game is multiplayer where u can still use all three races and the single campaigns are suppose to be as long as the original SC1 campaign, but still I think its outrageous. I guess I wouldnt be as outraged if I got the game for multiplayer only like most do, but I only really wanted it for single player.

    I think it makes more sense to just buy the first game and release 2 race specific expansions expanding the single player campaign and adding new Mp units.

    Then again, fans are going to play pretty much whatever Blizzard asks.
    If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate.
