I Want My X-CE

If you didn’t preorder one of the Collector’s Editions for the World of Warcraft expansion, The Burning Crusade, and you’re still looking to score, Blizzard’s Drysc advises that you camp the store spawn on release day in this forum thread, “I want the Xpack CE”. Blue text: “Some retailers have been taking Collector’s Edition pre-orders, but from what I have seen of the online retail sites they appear to have sold out rather quickly. Some retail stores are still allowing pre-orders if you walk in, but the number they have available is limited. We are not offering the CE for purchase in our online store at present. If we do sell it we probably won’t take pre-orders but I would recommend keeping an eye on the website. Your best bet at this point would be to find a store who is still accepting pre-orders or get up early on launch day and wait at a store that didn’t take pre-orders at all.” Alternatively, you can camp the online spawn at Amazon’s link. I’m still on the fence about this CE. I might make a half-hearted effort to get a pack o’ nerd-swag; I might not. If they were giving out something worthwhile for the $$ like a 24-slot bag, I’d kill my own mother to get ahold of one. Hell, she’s had a good run and she knows how important bag space is in this game. (Archive: I want the Xpack CE)

  1. Consider yourself lucky – the UK amazon has never listed the CE version, and my local store can’t pre-order it either (despite me pestering them every week)

  2. I idly picked one up in the online pre-order right after I heard about them. A few hours later, the item was no longer listed on the site.

    I consider myself pretty lucky.

    I got overnight shipping. I’m such a shill.

  3. Not getting the CE. The pet looks kind of entertaining, but the rest is kinda meh, from what what I saw. I pre-ordered the regular MONTHS ago from Amazon for both my husband and myself. Now if only it would actually come out… sigh. Someday.
