The gates to Northrend open two days early - retail-wise, at least. Yeah, thank 7-11 for Arthas' early arrival. Turns out that they broke WoW: Wrath of the Lich King's street date by releasing it yesterday (which conveniently plops right after they reportedly broke street date for Gears of War 2). As I always say, transgressions on following street dates may frowned upon in the retailing world, however, it's also a sign that your game is being anticipated by the masses. What with getting an 80 level cap, the Death Knight class, and access to Northrend, among others, of course everyone wants to join in on the fun. Activision Blizzard's Wrath of the Lich King is scheduled for retail release tomorrow, November 13. Related articles: |

» lol..
I just went to the mall to get some food, it was like 7 PM. There were four guys outside of the GameStop and I went in to see how preordering works (I've never done it before this expansion). He explained it to me, then pointed to the four guys out front and said they've been out there since 4 PM and that it was really stupid because everyone who preordered is guaranteed to get the game on the release date (and up to two days afterwards) anyway.. What nerds haha I know this is overstated, but they all looked like relatives of that fat guy in South Park.

» Amazon sucks
Pre-ordered my copy on Sept 13th, all paid for, burning shame as guildies were halfway to lvl 71 and I'm stuck waiting, waiting and today... no post and still waiting.
The moral of the story is Amazon sucks at getting pre-orders out, from what I saw on server chat too (Thunderhorn EU) Play.com and Game dropped the ball for many thousands too, Tesco's sold out in most regions of UK.
