Holiday Deals

[MiRai]

It's that time of the year again when we can expect lots of sales on all of the games we love to multibox. In the years prior we've had just a major sale thread for World of Warcraft, but I figured this year there must be more deals on other games that we all multibox. So, feel free to post any sales pertaining to any game that we typically multibox whether it deals with in-game services/goods or physical retail copies of the game.

I'll continue to update this post more information begins flowing in.


Current Sales Happening Right Now:

World of Warcraft EU

Does EU get sales as well? Black friday doesn't really mean anything to anyone in Europe, so not sure if we miss out on sales?

I need to buy 5 MoP and am waiting for sales...

Looks like i'm buying 4 more copies of wow. That alone is worth the time cards...

I think those are codes for the base copy of the game and not time cards. That is the picture used on the new boxed version of the game since Cata was added to it.

I don't think so. They specifically show the (older) battle chest in the bottom left and the time card in question has a hole punched at the top of it to show that it sits on a metal bar (whatever the technical term for it is) at the store on a rack/shelf.

The text below it also states:

Digital code with Purchase of Starcraft II Heart of the Storm (typo?), Wings of Liberty, or World of Warcraft Mists of Pandaria

I'm only going off of the 60-day time card assumption because it was mentioned on another forum, but I have yet to find a clear image of the sales paper. It could also be some sort of pet or something because it also comes with a purchase of SC2, but I don't know what digital could could be useful for both games. /shrug

They have had a little stand thing at Gamestop for a while that sells digital codes for the game and some other stuff like character transfers and what not that come on cards like you see at a gift card section. Since it's the same pic that comes on the new battle chest I figured it was the new version of the base game card you get for free.

Also I figured giving 60 day wow time cards with StarCraft 2 purchases wouldn't make much sense as people might get the game that don't play WoW and have no use for the time. If it does end up being time cards I'll probably buy 6 copies of MoP and just stash them away until WoD comes out and use them then.

No, you're absolutely right. I haven't set foot in a GameStop in well over a year, so I had no idea that they sold the Battle Chest in the form of a time-card-looking-thing like that.

So, if that's the case then if you purchase MoP it looks that you get a free Battle Chest -- Which sounds good either way.

I don't know why I feel interested I just started and quit wow all over again within about a week of playing.

Just wondered what the new RAF bonuses were..?

when I think about it - I have an account with 8 wow's attached, 94? heirlooms, bunch of pets and mounts - achievements from the old days... and if I RAF I would basically be starting again, not such a bad thing..

I'm in UK too - so no offer yet on the store..
