Sunnyvale fry's had tons of them. There was enough for everybody in line, so people were able to pick up multiple copies.

You do realize, if you already have the game installed you dont need to install anything from the cd's. its already been delivered via patches over the last few months. Just goto Blizzards account upgrade page, enter in your new exp. serial number and log on and play. No need to install the dics's.

Really? I don't think that's what the BC FAQ said. I'm pretty sure it said there is some content on the discs that were not delivered via the patches.

i picked up my copy at around 12:30 and played right through to 7:30 in the morning. I didnt even bother installing from the CD's I just copied the contents and ran it off the harddrive...much faster and little hassle.

made it to 61!!! made about 200g! this expack is amazing!!

im tempted to buy one and burn it in front of the store. :evil:
i was also tempted to do the same thing when a hotdog cart on campus was selling burned copies of the documentary 'Loose Change'... joked around about buying one and snapping the disc in shards with a ROTC buddy.. then decided i shouldn't. ;)

I didn't pre-order, just picked mine up on my lunch break today. No lines, in fact, I was the only one in the Gamestop when I went in. The guy told me they had already sold about 300 copies by that point though :shocked:

He very well might. What exactly does that have to do with my statement? :confused:

More points to it? :confused: on how you could take what we said as a dispute to what you said.
