WoW: TBC still selling like hotcakes
The launch of the World of Warcraft Expansion, The Burning Crusade was deemed successful. The San Francisco launch was all fired up and UK launch was surprisingly a hit. Now that almost one week had passed since it was first unleashed in store shelves, you may think that the clamor for TBC has already simmered. Well, apparently that’s not the case.
In fact, a local Wal-Mart in the city of Lompoc, California mentioned that the game was sold out the day it came in. Wal-Mart employee, Eddie Polton said that “the box set was $69.96. It was gone in three hours.”
The usual, garden-variety TBC which has a US$ 39.99 price tag, on the other hand, was also wiped out later that afternoon. For now, they are still awaiting for the arrival of the next ordered shipment.
Yup, people are loving their TBC, regardless if they are members of the Alliance or the Horde. WoW players’ feeling toward it was best explained by a TBC buyer, he says:
You really have to get “The Burning Crusade.” If you’re not going to keep up with the upgrades, then there’s no sense in playing in the first place.
