well, some people is "arguing" that such actions, fan boys supporting "over priced" products will cause "inflation" as something like the prices of future products will be higher liao.

One question,

if i never play SC before, will i like SC2? And I intend to play single player only.

I simply don't understand why SEA version is more expensive compared to other version. The Koreans and Russians don't need to buy the game as they can subscribe the game monthly. Obviously Korean purchasing power > SEA purchasing power, except for Singapore and Oceania maybe. So why they're the only one getting Special treatment? They only need to pay 9,000 won($9) for monthly pass or 2,000 won ($2) for 24 hours pass. If they subscribe to WoW, they get to play Starcraft 2 for free. See how affordable Starcraft 2 is in Korea. RM 250 in Malaysia is too expensive imo, especially if you're not a hardcore fan of Broodwar or RTS in general.
