This is also going on US side with:

Vanilla - $5
BC - $5
Wrath - $10

So basically $20 to get you set for Cata.

Makes me wonder if you have to have all those shipped to you... only $5 with $24.99 shipping ;)

Any guesses on how long these *CRAZY* prices will last?

This means I can redo my RAF to finish up some 60s for 25 bucks... now that's a deal!

**Edit**
When going to purchase, it says this expires 11/30.

Yep. Going to have to pounce on some offers soon.

I was going to get another 4 copies to wotlk but decided the 20 day investment in getting more professions is NOT worth it. So i'm just finishing up some RAF's for like warriors, one of my shaman that isn't 60 yet etc.

If I buy this offer this week, will I get to RAF with my other existing account.

The RAF will start as soon as you add that to your battlnet. So if your trying to delay the RAF for Dec 7th, but keep the discount I am assuming that won't work since you dont have a CD key with the digital download and its performed from the battlenet interface itself.

what you could try and do is use the gifting system, instead of buying it for yourself, you gift it too someone else, not sure how this would work but i'd imagine it would stay unused until they chose to use it?

Well done, great idea.

If your idea works then you, sir, are a hero :) now comes the question do I drop 100 now for the option of 10 boxing (adding 5) later...

Are you sure? The last time I did a digital download it provided the keys in emails and I could apply them to a trial account when needed. Has the digital download changed and now bound to the battlenet account?

Honestly I don't know.

Well, if you click on the purchase link it does go directly to the battlenet login / create an account. When you have an account that can be upgraded, lets say from tbc to wotlk, it takes you right to the purchase wizard.

Seems odd that it would give you guys right there in the battle net to apply.

So I thought a little more about this and due to the fact that I have always used the cheap throwaway accounts on new throwaway email accounts I think I have always gifted the new games.
That is most likely why I got the email with keys in them and so i could use whenever I needed them and not have to activate the new keys straight away.

Currently waiting in line for Best Buy to open in about 4 hours... $10 battlechests, here I come!
Would be nice if I wasn't standing in front of a mattress store and really really wanting sleep!
Best of luck to all of you that brave or have braved the crazy sales today!

Ok, so checked this out a bit more, the vanilla is the only one that is available as a digital download, the rest are either upgrade online or have the retail copy shipped out which shipping for me would cost 6 dollars plus sales tax.
I suppose the choice then is really if you want to get the digital download and upgrade those accounts straight away, that would avoid shipping and taxes otherwise BC and WotLK have to be mailed out (if you want to use them later over the next few months)
Still a good price if you want more additional accounts fully upgraded and ready for Cataclysm. If you just want throwaway accounts you could still just get vanilla accounts, upgrade them as trial BC when you want to go to Outlands and then dispose of the accounts once the BC trial expires.
BTW, they do email the keys for vanilla, I used my current BNet account and ordered through it and at the end of the order it gives you the option to activate or gift the keys, it then emails the receipt with the keys to your BNet email.

My rig isn't finished being built yet, so just getting it now instead of later. Also wanted to pick up a PS3, so all in all it wasn't a complete waste. Just grabbed those things and got to a cashier before a long line could form.

This makes it pretty cheap to RAF a batch of toons or reroll/raf if you are thinking about it :P

Personally I bought a few as throw away accounts, have not bothered with the BC or WotLK offers due to not wanting anything above level 60 where RAF ends.
