According the official websites of both EBGames and GameStop, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade is set to be released on either July 2nd or 3rd of next year, depending on whom you trust more. The date isn't the only discrepancy, though—GameStop prices the expansion at a full $49.99, while EBGames is aiming for a more modest $34.99. Waiting eight months for an expansion seems reasonable enough, seeing as how Blizzard's been pretty vague on the disc's details so far. The price, however, is a different matter. Assuming that GameStop was generalizing, here's hoping that EBGames proves to be the more informed retailer. However, in the event that the expansion ends up costing as much as the game itself, would the higher cost deter anyone from purchasing it? When you really think about it, how much is fifteen bucks when compared to ongoing subscription fees and the accumulative weeks of your life spent playing the game?
