Best Buy is giving free Steelseries MMO mice to people waiting in line to the first 15 people ... if I get there in time that would be sweet but if not I will just buy the digital copy haha.

You won't be buying much digitally :p Battle.net is completely down, and that's hours before even the EU launch.

I understand the convenience, but being one on central time, don't see the sense in not getting the box version of this.

Gonna grab some pizza, and eat out with friends while we pick up our copies of Kuh-takl-ism. Go home, chill out, install, and wait...

Vacation from Wed - Friday also. :cool:

I bought the digital copy the day it came out, I don't have extra money and for the few bucks I saved this way.. it helped.

Bought my digi copy, told my employees I was take a personal day, one of them figured it out lol, and Ill be at on 12am PST to log in!!!

Eh, I was too iffy on this part. While Blizzard says it'll be the flip of a switch, somehow I get the feeling there will be lag, issues, or whatever that will require urgent attention.

That's why I didn't take Tuesday off. :p

We'll see though!

If tomorrow is anything like when TBC went live, it won't be worth logging in. Rolling-restarts-a-plenty.

I had a bad experience on Illidan - US for Wrath, as the realm couldn't handle the load. We had a thread that went over 130 pages I think even, requesting Blizzard to just lower the cap since those that were on were lagging like crazy anyway and couldn't play. Seriously, no sense in waiting in an hour long queue just to lag...

Yeah, me too. If I took tomorrow off, chances are my realm would be down all day due to issues. But I remember Lich King's launch went off w/o any problems (at least on the realm I play on).

True that. I would rather wait a little longer in queue than deal with a laggy unplayable game.

Blizz has had two xpacs to work things out by now.

I don't have to worry about it either way as my CE is sitting at home waiting for me after finals. Though I have enjoyed the new content after the shattering. Anyone else punch Deathwing in the face?

Aaaand with everyone trying to relog in advance of the real deal, the login servers in Europe were already down before anyone logged in with Cataclysm. Still nothing. You US peeps shouldn't expect it to go all that smooth.

Blizzard: Telling your whole european World of Warcraft playerbase to login at the same time on the launch of your biggest expansion yet, was the most idiotic thing in the history of gaming.

Have to agree with this...

Absolute idiotic, Play the minute realms go live... I didnt get my digi download for no reason I got it so I could do exactly what they said, play the minute it goes live... Surely they can get done for false advertisement or something?

LOL. Read the EULA that you agreed to and see what it says about not being able to login to a game server :D. Best just to go outside and do something else until Blizzard gets their **** figured out.

I plan to buy Cataclysm at midnight tonight, but am trying very hard not to get my hopes too high for being able to play the game afterward.

I had previously assumed that the release would go poorly as they have still yet to perfect the patching process. Also on previous Expansion Sets (BC, LK) The first day or so is generally a restart fest filled with realm restarts and poor quality connections. Not to mention all of the people that have started playing the game again that Have not played in a while and the potential for queue for logging into the server.

I am not in the EU though... I was able to add the digital download to my account no problem ... but for my GF's account I will wait in line to get the free mouse lol

Im sure False advertising is different from EULA and also different from country to country.

    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.

      +1000 to this, don't understand why they added that margin around the top bar, even the close button is a PITA to click without aiming. Ofc, this is just preview and hopefully they will revert such odd UX decision before hitting final version.
