Expansion available for preorder on Amazon

Just a note, as this kind of slipped by us (and most others, I think) the other day: Burning Crusade is now available for preorder on Amazon.com.Now, Amazon is notorious for putting items up early (and sometimes even taking them down), so you might want to take this with a grain of salt, unless you were buying from Amazon anyway. Also, they specifically list the release date as November 22, 2006, and as far as I know, Blizzard hasn't actually confirmed a release date yet. Finally, the price they have is $39.99, which is great news if, like me, you were expecting the expansion to run $50.
And before you run over and do a little 1-click shopping, keep in mind that this isn't the Collector's Edition, which should have some other goodies in it, including a few TCG items. Despite my (admittedly casual) searching, I couldn't find a collector's edition on Amazon, although there is a listing for a strategy guide already (probably because the company that's making the guide wants to have it ready ASAP). But I've heard this link works, so if you want to get in on the ground (or is this the basement?) floor of buying BC, there you go.

Amazon listed BC back in, like, April. At that time they had Oct 15 as the availability date.

I have already preordered the expansion from Game Stop for myself and as a gift for another person. It was 39.99. Listed Release at Game Stop is 11/28/06 But seeing as how Blizzard has not released a release date, This date is very tenative and I'm not really holding my breath. It would be in Blizzard's best interest to have the game released by Christmas. They would make so much more money.

Amazon just sent an email moving the ship date to 27Nov from 22Nov, FYI.
