i think people are really overreacting to the situation here, we don't have enough information to conclude whether they are ripping us off or not.
I am assuming that the reason they split the campaign into three games is because the campaign will be massive. Each race will have a campaign as long as the entire Starcraft 1 campaign. So essentially Terrans = Starcraft Zerg = Broodwar Protoss = xpack 3. As far as i'm concerned it's just as good a value as buying the original starcraft and it's xpack.
If the campaigns are really short then you have a reason to be pissed off. But if the campaigns are big there is no problem.
Think about it...you payed $60 Halo 3, a 6 hour single player game, nobody complained. You pay $50 for (likely) a 10 hour campaign, then $20 for additional 10 hour campaigns.
In Half Life 2 you had a 8-10 hour single player, then they release episode 1, and then 2, nobody complained. There are games that have far worse value than what Blizzard is proposing.
