Listen, this has a .001% chance of happening but, being a HUGE blizzard fan from day one, Owning all Starcraft games, WoW and expansions, and the Diablo series (my fav.). If tomorrow they announced a blizzard "hydra" bundle, which would include Wotlk, SCII and DIII, for $200.
Who all here other than me, would purchase it, without thinking twice?? :cool:
A major problem with the "hydra bundle" is going to be Mac users.
Lets say you want the "hydra" bundle but have a Mac and plan on buying Diablo 3 on a Mac then you can't really get the bundle because non of the older games will play on Mac.
So... basically the "hydra" bundle could ONLY be for Windows users.
Uh... even at $60 each (which is a bit much for WotLK, being an expansion), that would be $180. $200 is far too much, unless there were some substantial packaged bonus items.

Starcraft, Diablo 2, and everything since has been Mac compatible, (possibly even war2).
Edit - The original Diablo, and Warcraft worked for Mac too (so says Wikipedia), so I guess they all do.

I would get it, just immediately torch any thing WoW related contained, then say good bye to my lifestyle because it would soon become alternating bouts of being completely obsessed with Diablo III and Starcraft II.

WotLK is an expansion to WoW so it'll be maybe 39.99. SC-2 will be likely 59.99, same as Diablo III. That's $160.00 for the seperate versions. The point of Battle Chests is to include all the relevant games in a series for a CHEAPER price than before to entice people to get the full enterprise of a game for a cheaper price.
Selling all three as a bundle for that much wouldn't sell well, and considering all three games are going to have wildly different launch dates, it's simply a bad idea. Project Hydra I think is codename for DIII because the artwork renders of the cinematic have the words "Hydra" in them, a big clue. Another thing is that Hydra is a three headed beast, perhaps code for the word three, as in Diablo 3? I don't know, but this idea that Blizzard is combining all three universes into a single game is silly.
I would get it, like 3 times, I'm trying to get into WoW again, nothing can ever hook me... I still love LoD... And I need to get hooked onto something else...
