TBC CE - Available at bestbuy.com

Malakie Torsade · 10-19-2006, 10:41 AM

Yes, I know there is already a thread about Ce, but I know a lot of people were very dissapointed they weren't going to be able to get one, so wanted to make sure those who wanted one saw this.

Hopefully it isn't a sham, seeing as how Best Buy isn't the most honest retail outlet around. At any rate, go to the link below to pre-order the CE for $60.

Damn $60? I paid $75 or something at Gamestop.

Cybsled · 10-19-2006, 10:43 AM

Kinda sucks there is no in-store pickup. I'd rather do that then shell out $10 for speedy delivery.

ps: does it charge your card right away when you PO, or only when they get ready to ship?

I'm not sure on that Cybsled. I've ever only done in store pick up and it charged me right away. Amazon doesn't charge you until the item ships on pre-orders.

I'm still up in the air about the CE. I had the original CE, but I sold that account long ago and now only have a regular. Not feeling like I should have the xpac CE with a normal first edition.

Thanks for the heads up, I've been looking everywhere for this.

I'm a bad person and intend to resell these, ordered 3 of them. Allready have my other copies available so why not recoup some of the expansion cost + year fees.

Are any other people "admittely" going to be doing this as well? Figured I wouldn't be alone in this at all. But perhaps I am.

Yes, it does suck there is no in-store pickup.

I just checked and it looks like you are charged immidiately.

PS : If you are interested, you should order quick. I got the info from the public WoW boards, so....

Cryptin · 10-19-2006, 12:11 PM

Thanks I just placed my order in.

Esanguiner · 10-19-2006, 12:12 PM

Thanks for this, I've been looking everywhere. I figure I'll try to find one on release day and sell this one I just preordered if I do. Worst case I wait until the next day.

Thanks again.

Never pre-ordered anything from best-buy and picked it up. Is it relatively painless or a super pain in the ass?

HailToTheChimp · 10-19-2006, 12:21 PM

Ahh what the hell? I went to check bestbuy's canadian site and http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/prodde...45&catid=21152

What the deuce?

EDIT: What's with the $100 price tag? argh, either way, not quantities remaining

Wodin · 10-19-2006, 12:25 PM

Thank you so much. I tried about 5 different retail outlets yesterday trying to get a reserved copy of the CE.

riot · 10-19-2006, 12:27 PM

Thanks from me too.

That US or Canadian? If Canadian, what's the exchange rate these days?

FohMD · 10-19-2006, 12:45 PM

88 cents (Cdn) on the dollar (US) or thereabouts.

Retailers up there have been morons lately about pricing things too high compared to the US (especially in regards to books, CDs, DVDs, and games). So much so, in fact, that it's often cheaper to order something in the US and ship it to Canada.
