    You mean 60.

    No. I said exactly what I meant. PC games are 50 bucks.

    Bioshock 2: 50 bucks
    Mass Effect 2: 50 bucks
    Star Trek Online: 50 bucks
    Except this is a Blizzard game.

    Blizzard games haven't been $50 MSRP since the 20th century.

    Grats on getting it on sale. I got WotLK for $30 at Wal-Mart, but that doesn't make the MSRP not $40, which it was.

    You appear to be either a very silly goose or Canadian!

    There's a reason that there was a lot of bitching about MW2 being $60 MSRP for the PC version, it was the first to do so.

    Uh, skab, that was an old webpage from 2002 (Hence the webarchive link)

    Speaking of old pages, here's the original Press Release that was on Blizzard's website, just to prove we aren't making things up: Link
    Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos will be available at retail chains worldwide for Windows® 98/ME/2000/XP and Macintosh® formats, at a price of approximately $55-$60

    Lets bring this shit back. Has there been any more word on when this month beta will start? Was that all a lie?

    Should we kill this thread and make a new one that doesn't suck and has an op who can change the thread title to not lie to us?

    I want the beta to start this week so hard. I have the week off school, and am bored out of my mind.

    What's the point? Making a new thread won't wash away the stupid, or maybe be it will but it's going to back before you even hit page 2.

    You should probably save it for when the beta is realeased, that way there'll actually be something to talk about instead of just bitching every other post.

    At the very least a new thread can have a OP with accurate information.

    I don't know what the fuck that guy is doing, but he needs to stop doing it and switch focus to SC2, which he seems to have running.
