Amazon.com has StarCraft Battle Chest (PC) for $10, with free shipping on $25. This game is dated, but the gameplay is solid and it'll probably run fine on most systems, even if you have a Mac.
You could also just buy the CD Keys off http://www.gbacon.com for $3.56. They also have Diablo 2 with the expansion for the same price.
Then go to http://www.battle.net and sign up for an account. When you log in you'll be able to register a game. Just enter the CD key you were mailed and it will link that key to your account. You will then be given a link to download the full game as well as an updated key.
I like Starcraft, except on one thing: the fighters and cruisers are immobile during battles. Why is that? IMHO, Total Annihilation (1991?) has been the best RTS. All vehicles behave as they suppose to, especially the aircraft. Love those carriers and fighters.
One of the BEST games I've ever played. Even after 12 Years its still a fun and amazing game. $10 is a good deal since this usually runs $19.99.

That's because you were suckered and now have a virus in your computer. Good Luck.

Big plus is that it also comes with two strategy guides which are a couple hundred pages each.
I don't know what site #2 was trying to post but g2play.pl has it for $5.25.

Yes it is # 8 the Terran Edition is coming out second half of 09. Then comes The PROTOSS and then lastly the all mighty ZERG edition.
I think they delayed StarCraft 2 ... do not quote me on that though... I love the StarCraft games

Can't wait for Starcraft 2 to come out. I will have to camp outside of Best Buy 3 days in advance.

None of you could have beaten me at this game 8 years ago, and none of you could now!
(.....cuz i lost my cd's)
If you have never played this game, you must buy this set. A truly great piece of work.
To quote pc gamer: "Blizzard is one of the few, if not the only game developer, who can claim truthfully that they have never produced a bad game."
