Dang! Change the effing title! I have been waiting for that game to come out and I almost $hit my pants reading it.

seems like the sc2 deal for $83 with "free shipping" is actually $97 after shipping (not free) and tax......

not sure how 25% off %101 is -$17

So this is the first installment, right? When it's out, you could play protoss and zerg in multiplayer right? But only terran in single? I'll pass as it's too expensive.

$60 is regular price for starcraft II non collector? gmafb. I'll hold off on it for a while.

Haha, yea. I did it earlier and it came out to be 88$ and I went back to double check my order then the price changed to 97$ after that process. That's gamestop math for you... -_-

It seems like GameStop changed the collector's edition price to $99.99. The 25% off coupon applies to orders $100+. They probably realized they couldn't get people to spend over $100 with this code since everyone would be rushing to buy the $100 game. Now you have to buy something else to get it.

You can play all three races in multiplayer but only as Terran for the campaign. But keep in mind that there will be around 26-30 missions for it. That is the equivalent of StarCraft's original campaign and more than the average strategy game's with all sides combined.

so if you call gamestop with your confirmation code they can "correct the error" and discount the full 25%

However, it doesn't update your receipt and you won't know how much you've actually been charged until they ship the game and charge you. So if, at that point, they "forget" to apply the discount, you'll probably have to bite it or call customer service and get them to "remember" again.
