Starcraft II now $30 from Blizzard Store
Grab yourself a copy of StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty from Blizzard’s online store, and you’ll pay just $30 for it, down from $60. The price reduction seemingly applies to the boxed offering as well as the digital version.
The long awaited strategy sequel was the best-selling PC game of 2011 at the end of September. The first expansion pack, Heart of the Swarm, has not been dated but is expected in 2012.
