The collectors edition is worth a bomb on ebay currently, shop I work in is getting a couple, and im at work this afternoon so might get a delivery , might get one as a personal favour to a mate though (dont play the game, but I fancy getting someone off my courses right leg for it hehe)

lol at the costumes

as for the t-shirts......its promo stuff that they normally give to staff to advertise it, but I think everyone who plays WoW would know about it being out on tuesday

How much are the subs currently for WoW. I heard that they had come down considerably but can't find anything that actually backs that up on the WoW website.

I have been thinking on taking the plunge with it but unsure because of the subs.

[Dooms]

8.99 GBP One-Month Subscription
25.17 GBP Three-Month Subscription
46.14 GBP Six-Month Subscription

Wuhaa, what a fuzz. Blizzard sure knows how to produce merchandise thats for sure.

[Mblaster]

Gonna have to wait untill 9am down here Left it too late to pre-order so I'll be standing outside the shop at opening time

[iamtheoneneo]

if you havent preoredered your collectors edition there is no way your get one. on friday we got 115 standard and only 18 collectors which will all go to people who preordered them. most of the standard will be preorders with about 30 copies going on general sale. just a heads up.

[fisnik]

Sure is funny that they're forcing people to wear wow costumes in order to get the collector's edition. I wish I could go just to see the people that are gonna turn up in costume, lol.

[unreal]

I might go down there just to laugh at people .

[BlackDwarf]

Yup. We got 6 collectors editions in our store, and 70 normal, 36 of which are preorders. All the collectors are preordered.

No free stock of the collectors at all.
