WoW:BC Collectors Edition Live on EBGames…?

• October 5th, 2006

Since Blizzard announced the new Burning Crusade expansion will also have a Collectors Edition available, EBGames.com has already posted it available for sale, then removed the product within 6 hours. There is a thread going on about the disappearance over on the WoW general forums.

It was posted for $69.99 + $5 surcharge for being “oversized”.

The Official Collectors Edition will feature:
* World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade on both CD and DVD
* World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Behind-the-Scenes DVD
* The Art of World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Hardcover Art Book
* Exclusive In-Game Pet: Netherwhelp*
* Two World of Warcraft Trading Card Game Starter Packs, plus Exclusive Cards
* Map of Outland Mouse Pad
* World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Soundtrack CD

Read about the Collectors Edition at World of Warcraft.com.

The Netherwhelp pet will be just like the Diablo / Panda / Zergling pet in the original Collectors Edition in that it will not do anything other than follow you around and perhaps put on a fire display or fall asleep. It is said to be the offspring of the Nether Drake Flying Mount and is sure to be super cool!

I have finally seen some major events and tournaments popping up and it may just be the next step, albeit it is small, towards fortifying professional gaming as a realistic “career.” Read the rest of this entry »
