    If I ever am able to afford to 5 or 10 box, I'll definitely go into a store to buy the other 3 or 7 copies. I bought my second online to avoid the possibility of the key being used already, so no weird looks. Apparently Windows 7 doesn't like WoW's credit card setup, though, I can't get it to update that kind of information on their site. I have to use my Vista partition or my XP laptop.

    08' Blackfriday, Circuit City had Battlechests on sale for $15/ea. I went down and bought 20 copies, they had over 60 in stock. Couple kids asked me if I was a multiboxer and asked if I knew the Aellie guy. There were in shock/awe. I felt like a celebrity.

    Default Deal

    Best Buy Deal is great and you pay Tax on it

    Amazon has the Same exact deal right now on both Battle Chest And WoTLK expansion
    No Tax and Free super savings shipping...
    although with Best Buy you get the "Instant Gratification" and with Amazon you must wait at
    least 3 to 9 days for the games :-)

    I personally like Not paying Taxes on them hehe

    On the night of the WotLK release, I bought 5 copies, and 10 time cards (exchange rate was really crap then and it was cheaper to buy time cards than pay by credit card) from the local EB. At the time the sales guy asked why so many copies, and I had a chat to him about boxing - now we chat about WoW whenever I'm in the store.

    I was funny when my wife and I bought the rest of our accounts to box with, 8 copies, total, the kid at CC had no idea what to say, but it was even more fun to have the kids walk around the store with 4 battle chests each. All the funny looks were worth it.

    I preordered my 5 WolK copies at fry's, and went back in on release day and got 5 boxes and got a few amused looks. What was annoying was they had to ring them up one at a time because the limit was 1 each.

    I didn't get questioned on buying a couple boxes at once, though I did get held up by a WoW geek employee at a Best Buy that saw me grabbing a box off the shelf. You know the type...just walks up to you and says that he plays too, and has a level 80 whatever and has gotten quite a bit of raid gear now and blah blah blah.

    I just smiled and said to something to the effect of being in a rush or something so I had to get going. I do all my upgrades online, or preorder expansions and have them mailed to me, so I don't have to even worry about that anymore.

    I do most of my shopping on amazon. The only time I "picked up" more than one copy was the WotLK release. The clerk did ask why I needed more than one and the other clerk behind the counter said "He probably multiboxes". So maybe for about 3 seconds.

    Yes. They are quite confused, but I always thought it was because they were wondering why this 33 year old with dashing good looks was playing a video game.
