Available (thanks Frans) is the press release announcing the North American
retail launch of Blizzard's highly anticipated MMORPG:
Blizzard Entertainment® today announced that "World of Warcraft®," its eagerly awaited massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), is now available in North America, Australia and New Zealand. With a monthly subscription, players can experience the epic adventure of the "Warcraft®" series in an immersive and continually evolving online environment. "World of Warcraft" is already in Open Beta in Korea and Closed Beta in Europe, and further details regarding the Final Beta Test in Europe and additional beta tests in Asia will be announced in the near future.Update: On a related note, Slashdot | Vivendi Jilts WoW CE Pre-order Customers (thanks Mike Martinez) outlines problems some customers have experienced getting their pre-orders for the Collector's Edition fulfilled.
Lucked out and one of the local EB's had a copy. Now let me tell ya for 80 bucks I got a BIG ASS HEAVY BOX OF PURE EXTRA GOODNESS! Vivendi, I hope you all choke and die on the Half Life 2 CE.
You do know that Vivendi owns Blizzard as well, right?
I've always been impressed with the Blizzard presentation - whenever they do a collector's package, you know it'll be stuff that you actually want - of course, this is what makes them so hard to find soon after launch.
Meanwhile, GoGamer has already cut the price of the Half Life 2 CE by $20. That should tell you something ....
