Isn't full price for PC games $49.99? I think only MW2 came out at $60 and that game in general got a lot of flame from PC gamers for that increased price and the lack of dedicated servers. Anyways, I was a huge fan of SC1 but I think it's been way too long and I've gotten way too old to really play SC2 hardcore. You never know though..
Got a tip for us?

From what I remember people played the original hardcore with the same time commitment as a MMO.
I'm in the beta and the game is great, too bad there is only multiplayer atm, since I havent played SC1 for like 8 years and people are pissing on me in the beta 
I've only played about 10-12 games so far so I guess when I have more time i'll start whopping some ass too.

finally got my beta key, from a kind person. unlike someone that was selling it for $25 on this thread...
I pre-ordered the Collector's Edition, (Thor pet, you are mine!) and am very curious to try out SC. I played the original... loved it, however the horrible mid-90's graphics turned me off... but this game looks freakin' gorgeous, and i cant wait to Zerg rush my buddies into the night, haha! July is a loooong way away, but patience is a virtue... A virtue that I don't need.
Maybe I'll buy it. I have tried the beta in Vista bootcamp and yesterday in OS X.
I must say that the windows versions runs a lot smoother with exactly the same settings. But I guess they'll fix that...
As for interest in the game itself, the only RTS games that I really ever finished are Red Alert (the first one) and Warcraft 2. I'm still playing Warcraft 3. I tried the C&C 3 demo and found the game boring (the cutscenes are as tacky as can be) ; Red Alert 3 seemed to have lost the 'magic'.
I have played the first Starcraft in the past (in my PC days). I quite like it, but somehow never finished it.
So SC2 is still a maybe, but leaning more towards "likely to play" category...
