Best Buy is having a sale for SC2 for $19.99, is that a good deal these days?

[Salodin]

Yea, best price ive seen on WoL, especially since you need it for hots.

I think that's the same price on Blizzard's official site, even for the physical edition. And other sales have had it cheaper in the past, but no telling when you'd get another one of those.

Starter Edition (aka F2P Version)

Blizzard Entertainment, creators of StarCraft, World of Warcraft, and Diablo, announced today that StarCraft II is going free-to-play… sort of. Think of it more as a super-extended demo of a larger game that will, in the end, cost you money to experience the entire…uhm, experience.

Announced as StarCraft II: Starter Edition, anyone with a Battle.net account and an interest in Zergs can dive in after a simple download of the game. With Starter Edition, you’ll be limited to your access of the game, specifically allowing you admission to the tutorial, the first four campaign missions of Wings of Liberty, the first two basic and advanced challenge missions, and the opening cinematic to Heart of the Swarm.

In terms of access to multiplayer content, Starter Edition only allows you to play as one race, the Terran, but through all three stages of battle in Training mode. You can also play a single VA.I. versus type, though unranked and ranked matches are strictly forbidden to non-paying miscreants like yourself.

However, you can play as many Starter Edition-specific custom games as your little fluttering heart desires. The same Starter Edition-restrictiveness applies to Arcade matches, so you won’t have full access to all games, but you’ll have access to some. Blizzard intends to circulate new types of arcade games into the Starter Edition pool, but to gain access to all, you’ll have to… you guessed it… pay up.

As for Replay functionality, you’ll have full access as you would with a regular purchase of the game – with the exception of certain “support features” like ‘Take Command’ or ‘Resume from replay’. Other social features are included as well, and can be seen in-motion in the video above.

A lesser known SC2 caster came back from a 2 years hiatus. He's a diamond terran mostly casting his own games, but he does popular games too.

He's got a wierd ass accent, but he's by FAR my favorite and the one I find the funniest. The casual tone he has while he makes witty remarks makes it 10x more hilarious to me.
