I played the demo a few times and play mostly solo. Will wait until the 1st exp comes out. I 've got little time and a stable of great games that I have to choose between as it is. However I might get it as a gift  ;)
Wait, what? there's a Starcraft 2 demo? Where?!?!?!

Sorry I misspoke - I signed up for the Beta and was able to play it until it went gold.
Again sorry for the missquote :-[

So no SC2 for me. Not even if the "expansions" are $20 each. That's STILL a $100 game. I don't pay more than $50 tops for games unless they are EXCEPTIONALLY good (Mass Effect 2, for instance. Up to 144 hours on that game. Money well spent)

Rather than some arbitrary, if it's split I don't want it stance, I prefer to look at the package as a whole and see if it actually resembles what they asking for. I think, if the Zerg and Protoss expansions are anywhere near as well thought out and narratively interesting as the Terran campaign, they would insane to charge $60 for all of that content. That's just going on the basis of the single-player campaign, too---assuming for a moment that is all Starcraft is about. Which is of course absurd.

Now if you want to see a good example of shoddy product value for the asking price, that would be The Sims 3, and endless siege of buggy, thinly executed bilge that will likely end up in the $500 range by the time they start it all up again with Sims 4.

Blizzard has done well by me. I never really got the appeal or WoW, but their games tend to have lasting power and as another pointed out, they support that aspect in a way few other companies (especially mainstream ones) do.

I bought starcraft II a while ago, and I think it's well priced. I don't even play the campaign, just league and custom games with a smattering of skirmish games thrown in, and i've already gotten a ton of enjoyment out of this (easily 100 hours, and i have the feeling that my time is just starting). I'll very likely buy the expansions just for the added multiplayer content.

If we weren't going for your money, you wouldn't have gotten as much value for it!

Oh, wait... *causation loop detonates*
