If you're interested in getting Wrath of the Lich King at a midnight launch with Blizzard employees present to sign your copy and discuss the game, Blizzard will be holding officlal midnight parties around the globe. For the moment, it looks like Amsterdam, Anaheim, Austin, Berlin, London, Madrid, Mexico City, New York City, Paris, San Francisco, Seoul, Stockholm, and Taipei will all have official midnight launches, complete with extra copies of the Collector's Edition Wrath on hand and Blizzard developers, executives, and CM's around.I've gone to the different WoW sites to see if there's any hard info on non-U.S. midnight launches and can't find it yet. I've possibly just missed it, so please let us know if there's information available on which stores outside the States will be hosting an official Blizzard launch. The one thing that we do know is that each site's launch will occur at midnight local time November 13th, and while there will be a ton of stores doing midnight launches, the official ones are just the locations where the Blizzard folks are going to be.
U.S. official launch sites ahead!
- ANAHEIM: Fry's Electronics at 3370 E. La Palma Avenue. (714) 688-3000.
- AUSTIN: GameStop at 10000 Research Boulevard. (512) 346-6437.
- NEW YORK CITY: Best Buy at 529 5th Avenue. (212) 808-0309.
- SAN FRANCISCO: GameStop at 151 Powell Street. (415) 362-7601.

Sounds good. There's a blue line stop near there, no?

Damen, I guess. You have to take the 72 North to get there, though.
Easier to take the Red Line and get off on North/Clybourn

Our Local GameMania-Chain has midnight openings ... OK so there won't be Blizz officials there (WHY NOT, MY CITY IS NICE TOO ... !!!???) but there will be installing WOTLK five minutes after I got my two copies (I'm still hoping the CE will be available so I can get one of those, if not, then no problem ... I'm not the one into BLING at home, the wife might QQ a little)
