I saw that like a month after WotLK was announced...didn't think it was that important...
Richard Dec 21st 2007 3:21PM
Yeah, I'm pretty sure this is WAAAAY old news.
vlad Dec 21st 2007 11:30PM
well, you win. but your still not everyone!
Joe P Dec 21st 2007 3:16PM
Gotta love it
Balasan Dec 21st 2007 3:24PM
Old or not it's still awesome (especially for those like me who hasn't seen it yet).
It's always fun to see a generally serious business website having lots of fun rolling dice and planning carribean vacations.

Wasn't this done a LONG time ago? I remember reading that word for word before. Maybe it was for BC...... I dunno.
D4 Dec 21st 2007 3:31PM
Yea i had a feeling they did it for BC too.
Baluki Dec 21st 2007 4:00PM
Well, I don't think it matters how old it is. Many people haven't seen it yet (like me) and it's pretty funny anyway.
Razhlok Dec 21st 2007 4:05PM
I had not seen that before. LOL. Good stuff.
Ametrine Dec 21st 2007 4:09PM
I don't care if it's "old".
It's new to me, and damn funny, too.

"However, if the price increases by more than $1,000, many of us here at the corporate office plan to retire and purchase a small Caribbean island. You are welcome to visit us at any time. Please bring pizza, chocolate and cold beverages."
Ahahaha

Hey Mike, you better warn all the dinosaurs that there's a meteor coming.
Kruncher Dec 21st 2007 7:06PM
Bastards! I sent this tip in at least a month ago! Grrrr!

It's not that it's old news, it's the fact that it's been posted on WoW Insider before:
http://www.wowinsider.com/2007/08/07/gamestop-offering-wotlk-pre-orders/
Although it's Gamestop, it's all the same company now under the EB Games title.
adam Dec 21st 2007 10:58PM
gamestop will tell you the same date, i ask probably every time im around that store. and they continue to ask me if i want to preorder.
Delta Dec 22nd 2007 1:01AM
Actually I tell customers that Blizzard hasn't set a release date yet, but that we can pre-order it. So far no one has, but people will always wait until the very last minute, not pre-order, and then curse loudly that they didn't get it when it came out, because people still fail to understand that Gamestop almost never sends us extra on top of pre-releases on the release day. Course if you don't mind waiting, it's a different story, but you be surprised the number of people who cursed at not having it the day something comes out.
Funny story actually, I had an older lady come in today and tell me that her grandson asked her to buy it saying it was released, and I had to tell her it wasn't even out yet, but apparently he didn't even have the first two games (i don't think they understood the "expansion" part. I ended up selling her the Battle Chest anyway.
