god damn i hate it when MMO's force me to go out of the house

I don't mind leaving the house. I hate having to make multiple trips due to some other geek stealing the cdkeys from the boxes. It happened with BC. It will happen with Wrath.

Blizz can set the same retail price for the digital download. Alas some people simply prefer to have a box and a dvd when all it will do is collect dust.

They don't want to undercut their retailers, same reason you can't buy cars directly from GM factory. They give some profit to the retailers in exchange for shelf space advertizing their product.

I am sure if you offered to buy 36 cars, maybe they would let you buy direct.

Imagine 5 million people trying to download 15GB at the same time...

The Blizzard Downloader is a bittorrent client. It would actually be pretty fast.

Heyyyy..

If you play 5 accounts, you have to buy 5 boxes? No upgrading online on 4 and buying 1 box? That sucks. I don't need 5 copies of the software

I'm not in any rush to be the first to omg lvl to 80. Besides....$200 for content that I wasn't really looking forward to?

Newegg.com[/url] is selling them for a bit cheaper than most of the gaming stores will be. They are not charging shipping costs either apparently.

Thanks a LOT Tdog!!!! You saved me some money! I will probably get the copies after release day, but the way it's going, I won't be able to get into the expansion on release anway because I will more than likely be only level 67 then. Plus I found out that all of the stores in my area are selling only ONE COPY per sale. I need 40 copies! Newegg is cheaper too so I went with Newegg!

Thanks again..

I'm looking at waiting a couple months and picking it up cheaper that way, or maybe getting one copy for my old singular account. Never went in for plate-wearers before I went above dual-boxing, and it would give me an instant tank for boosting. Not a geared-out 70, but helpful.

I would jump on this, but my younger brother works for Wal-mart in the electronics dept. I'm saving 20% on the whole purchase so 5 x CE's plus game time is gonna be a huge savings for me.

Thanks for this. I preordered 4 from them and I'm going to pick up 1 on release day from a store.
