Yah, the price is quite high but if you just think about the longevity of the first starcraft and warcraft 3, then you're probs going to be playing this one for at least 2 years. Plus I hear some talk of making a "DOTA" mod for it! Which could be fun. I pray that the battlenet works the same as I have difficulty playing some games from behind my university proxy server/firewall (no port forwarding) but I could play War3 on bnet.
