TBC launch numbers?

[sundev]

I was just curious if anyone knew how many copies of TBC Blizzard has shipped for release? If anyone has some numbers and/or sources it would be appreciated.

Thanks!

im guessing not enough, it only went gold 2 weeks ago, i doubt they pressed 8 million copies in 2 weeks and got them to the distributers

worldofraids is selling TBC CD keys tho, so you can just torrent the ISO and you are good

IDK how legal that is tho

I need to make sure I get me a Collector's Edition...

I even took the day off work . Someone said, "I sure hope you have fun tomorrow." I just kind of looked at them funny, and sure "sure will!"

Yeah I figure there won't be enough copies for everyone, but was just wondering if there was an actual estimate of the number of copies at release (similar to Xbox360/PS3/Wii numbers).

god willing, my CE is in the mail. I pre-ordered it back in October when they first went on sale.

ebgames.com seems to be totally fubar'd, though, so I can't get tracking info or anything.

I got my beta client working on live realms, all I should need now is a key.

I'm surprised there isn't a digital download option, or an option through BT. Then Blizzard could just sell the keys and let the torrent network take care of getting the ISOs out. I suppose using some of the revenue from WoW for TBC download servers would be too much to ask for though.

Why wont they let you buy it online? Seems kinda funny to waste all that money on packaging.


Anywho, gonna see how hard my classes are this semester before I get back into WoW, have a 400 level statistics class and I am going to have to learn two programming languages that I have never used before this semester. Sounds like it is going to be just as fun as the Organic Chem 351 and Genetics 352 of last semester.

I feel your pain, by the time VG comes out, I'll be working and going to school full time. :frown:

All I know is the site and the server login are getting HAMMERED and its not even midnight yet. This is gonna be insane.

It's a concession to retail outlets. I'd love to just buy it online and download it too

Anyone know if EBgames is opening at the normal 10AM time this morning? I want to pick up a copy before class so I can get home and jump right into it. I just logged on and the servers seem to be fine right now.

I picked up a copy this morning, EB had a whole bunch of them left at 10:30.
I had to laugh at the massive tower of PS3 boxes they had stacked in the middle of the store.

Just picked my pre-order up from BB. They had a huge display with at least 50 on the floor + however many might have been in the regular PC section.

Same here. They had plenty, and hats too.
