If you're one of the people who didn't manage to snag one of the 2.4 million copies of Burning Crusade that got sold on launch day - or you just couldn't bear the thought of getting out of your chair, driving to the store, and buying one - then stop fretting.

Blizzard updated the official World of Warcraft website today with news that The Burning Crusade is now available as a direct online upgrade for the game. To download your copy, just log in to your WoW account, click the Burning Crusade "download now" button, and shell out US$ 39.99 using your trusty old credit card.

No more exhaustive physical activity, and while you've got your credit card out, grab a pizza or two. You can munch on it while waiting for the download to finish.
