Wait, Starcraft 2?

They're splitting it into 3 games (1 per campaign), you have to buy each separately. If that's just one, then the price of the full game is $180.

PC game prices might be going up, but PC hardware prices are falling. You can get a high-end PC that plays the majoity of modern games on High or Max settings at 1600x1200 for $450-500.

PC Games are usually $10 less than console games (In Canada). I'm not surprised.

When you say "next-gen", are you including Wii or not? Since Wii games are $50.

They know the game is going to be huge and want to bank on it.

Only the other hand it could be an attempt to regain lost profits from piracy, but then again, it could just promote more piracy.
