Wish I didn't order this, so I could just do a digital download and avoid going outside with 15 degree weather tonight D:

Why would you get the digital download? Why not get the nondigital download?

@jynxycat Or just get release day shipping from Amazon... waiting in line at midnight for a game is just weak.

@xXHexagonXx sorry.. if they even allow you to! I ordered my copy from Amazon in August and was never given an option to do release day shipping. They almost delivered it after Christmas, luckily they shipped it out earlier today.

This real excitement is for those buying two sets plus a standard edition.
The collector's edition is equity to pay way through college.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....I kid. It's to buy the next Blizzard game.

Or inside is just a beer. Or a note that says "get a real life." Maybe a blowup doll?

Because the games you play equate to having a life?

I went for the standard version.. which hopefully turns up tommorow through my door.. along with my 8 button mouse so I can finish setting up my new rig for Cataclysm

The back of the box says you get a "rare loot card" with the CE, anyone know what kind of card it is?

I "understand" why they do it, but I wish the CCG stuff would just be left out. Gimme something cool like the SC2 SE came with: the USB drive. Maybe a USB drive with the first 2 or 3 WC games or something, or full of exclusive high res artwork or something. I buy every Blizz CE, but the CCG stuff is always 100% "meh" for me.

How many art books? Gee, I dunno, one for every game since a game requires a ton of concept art?

Not a wow tard but I love collector edition unboxings. Always cool shit in them.

Exactly like the WotLK CE, only with cata bonuses. Hopefully the mousepad doesn't smell chemically.

Here we go with the "get a life" thing aimed at MMO more specifically WoW players, i assume. Almost as bad a all gamers are fat and/or lazy.
Shut the fxck up Anti light...I thought MY name was dorky...

It is real-time. If you played past level 10 maybe you'd have figured that out...

I agree... that's exactly the same reason I stopped playing... (level.. like... 31 mage... or something)... I mean, come on... monday night combat is real time... FPS's are real time... if you have to see a line charging to full after you select a power from a MENU(or a hotkey that basically redirects to the same menu)... and if jumping seems to have absolutely no effect on whether or not you're hit... that is NOT real time.

So, wait, you don't think cast time should exist at all?
You cast a spell, you are actually casting it. It takes time for your character to finish speaking the spell. Things like Warstomp have a cast time to not only balance it but to make it a little more realistic (you think you can instantly raise your foot, and smash it down? It takes 1.5 seconds in the game, which is about what it would take you in real life.)
Your shots are instant, unless you have an ability that requires major aiming. Gee, an ability named "Aimed Shot" shouldn't take any time to aim at all, nope.
And anything you want to do can be increased in speed by getting Haste. Which apparantly you didn't do.
So it chalks it up to someone who didn't know how to play, and is now complaining about things that are a little more realistic like motion and speed.
