As Wrath of The Lich King is approaching the release date line, the interest for WoW is again enormously high.

Thousands of People that have stopped playing and many who have never played before are picking up the interest in this popular launch.

Retail stores, of course, want their piece of the cake and are making a lot of effort to attract customers.

Some examples of good deals for buying World of Warcraft: Wrath of The Lich Kings online are:

BestBuy - Wrath of the Lich King -$39.99

Free shipping

Notes: According to Cheapastgamer.com you will be able to buy the official Wotlk strategy guide at 25% off with the purchase of Wotlk expansion at buybest.com. However, we didn’t find that particular offer. They also claim that it’s not stated that it’s necessary to buy the game in order to get the guide discount.

BestBuy.com also have a Pre-Order Price Guarantee:
“Pre-order any title at BestBuy.com, and if the Best Buy price in store has dropped by the release date, you’ll automatically be charged the lower price.”

Amazon – Wrath of The Lich King – $39.99

Free Shipping

Notes: At Amazon you can get the expansion WotLK + the paperback WotLK Official Stragegy Guide for only $56.48, a %38 off ($8.50). They also offer the following promotion:

“Pre-order Price Guarantee! Order now and if the Amazon.com price decreases between your order time and the end of the day of the release date, you’ll receive the lowest price.

Save $10 when you spend $50 or more when you pay with Bill Me LaterĀ®. Offer valid Oct 13, 2008 – Dec 30, 2008. Limited to items sold by Amazon.com. Subject to credit approval. One per customer. Enter code BMLSAVES at checkout”

Additionally, when purchasing the expansion pack at Amazon, they are offering release-day delivery. It means that even if you place your order online, you will still get the item at the day of release, just some hours after the crowd standing in long lines outside the stores. Just be sure to read the details first.

So it is actually a good thing to buy the expansion online especially when it is released at midnight (that is if you’re not eager to be one of the first people to login).Ā  You can skip having to camp outdoor waiting for the release at the retail stores and you can get some good hours rest instead while waiting for the item to arrive by mid morning. Then take a free day from work or school to just play hardcore untill late hours.

You will miss the first hours initial lagg when everyone logs in at once and instead ready to explore the new surroundings of WotlK with a rested mind and start leveling like mad.

If you still haven’t pre-ordered Wrath of the Lich King yet, I would recommend doing it Right Away, to be 100% sure you have it delivered to your door by launch day.

Be sure to also Check out the WotLK secrets guide and gain some advantage over your friends when the expansion arrives.

Hope everyone will enjoy the expansion and if we find any additional deals comming up within the few day, we’ll let you know.
