Hey all,
I'm a PC gamer at heart (have a Core i7, Radeon 4890, 5.1 audio setup at home) so I do appreciate your concerns.
Unfortunately all I can say at this point is that we're focusing all our efforts on the 360 version and will be making comments in regards to the PC at a later in time.

Ars Technica - The pillars of PC gaming- why StarCraft 2 LAN play matters.
Blizzard was so loved because it was a gamer-friendly company that gave us more than we asked for, and surprised us with things like a free online service and the spawned installs. Now, if you want to hook up a few computers in your basement without an Internet connection, you may not be able to play against each other at all. The LAN party is a dying thing in the world of built-in voice chat and high-speed Internet connections, but it's not dead yet... especially among those who grew up playing StarCraft.IndustryGamers - The Implications of DLC.
The bottom line is that while PDLC has been welcomed with open arms by consumers, there exists a threat to both retailers as well as competing publishers. Albeit the threat is minimal in the short-run, but with the pace that this industry moves we could see some struggles a year or two down the road, and once troubles begin for the retailers, they might not end. The downside is especially concerning for retailers that rely on second-hand markets, because they are hit twice by the effect; once for consumers delaying other purchases and another time for consumers delaying trading their game in.Significant Bits - The greatest collectible of all time.
Collectibles seem to speak to the kleptomaniac side of our personality, encouraging us to take all that we see. In console RPGs, it’s common to break into people’s homes, rummage through their belongings, and generally pillage the entire world that you’re trying to save.
