This isn't news but I did attempt to score a copy today on my way to work form 3 stores. I was hoping to get my hands on it so i could install and log in at 10pm PST instead of midnight. All 3 were failed attempts. The closest was an old asian guy who spoke no english and almost handed over the game when the younger lady behind the counter stopped him and explained not till tomorrow.

Anyone else get lucky with this, or have any funny stories attempting?

I JUST got back from going to the bank and there's a 7-11 next door.  They didn't have it yet, the guy behind the counter was clueless and I would of gotten one if he had them.  He even followed me outside where there was a listing of release dates for video games and it just said "November".

I don't want to make a new thread, so I ask here.

Is there another month of subscription time included in WoL ? Or do I have to activate my account first,  if/when I get my hands on a key ?

EB is making us go to some stupid midnight release tonight if we want to get the boxes hot from the storeroom.

Because I'm an idiot and taking tomorrow off work I guess I'll be there tonight and feeling dumb awesome, for real

I'm pretty sure its just an expansion with no free time with a key that has to be activated against an active account

Sadly, my local 7-Elevens are staffed with people smart enough not to sell it today (and stupid enough to think I would believe their lies that it hasn't physically arrived yet).  So I guess I'm going to GameStop at midnight.  Was hoping to get a couple hours while there was little to no crush in the new zones.

Front page of BBC online - pictures of fuckwits fans doing cosplay at midnight event.
