When Blizzard finally occupies its own Country as its dictator I trust that I will be put in a position of power.

It's gotta be close. On Blizzard's part, the digital sales was brilliant. I haven't seen anything brilliant come out of the government for a very, very long time.

The expansion wasn't really optional though. It felt like Blizzard put a gun to my head. "Buy the expansion or you are stuck at level 80 you stupid stupid newb!".

Digital pre-sales was indeed quite brilliant. Most gaming companies can't do this because of their prearrangement with retailers. Blizzard just does whatever they want... retailers be damned! Gotta love it sometimes, hehe.

I still bought the box. There was really nothing to download or install since it was pretty much patched in ahead of time. All we really needed was the code. But still, for $40, I needed something to remind me where my $40 went.  And I got a nice printed 12 page user manual.
And I'm $40 closer to my next Best Buy Reward Zone gift certificate.  |
