    I'm planning on buying it the old-fashioned way - right off the store, since I don't trust coriers much and I wont be able to go on the midnight release.

    I ordered from CDON.com a scandinavian webstore and will get it delivered by mail the day before release (atleast to the nearest postal service since the box will be to big ^^)

    CE from Amazon has been on pre-order for a couple of months.

    Is it possible to just buy it digitally from blizzards website on the release night?

    I personally don't care so much about cds and fancy boxes etc

    CE at Gamestop a few blocks away from my house at midnight, then straight home to pull an all nighter and play. Assuming I can make it that long. I start to get pretty drowsy at 2ish.
    'Twilight's Hammer' is an anagram for "Siw tarme Hmgt Hil"

    Best buy midnight release, CE. I like Gamestop better, but they sold out..

    I've decided that the night of 6th December is when I'll try to do my weekly food shop VERY late in the evening and just happen to walk past the games section at about 11.59pm and 57 seconds, at that point I'll decide I don't want all that horrible nasty food and run/dance to my car which will somehow have been left with the engine running and the window open so I can dive in "Action Hero" style.

    This could all change depending on how Blizzard will be selling Cataclysm on their website. If they're charging Amazon/Play.com prices ie. reasonable and allowing us to set the purchase up before the actual release date so we can simply just enter our new code and log in or maybe even just auto activate our accounts then I'll pass my business their way and they can get a bigger slice of the pie.

    I have not yet decided whether I will pick it up at midnight or buy the digital copy (assuming they are doing that like they did Starcraft 3).

    I very much prefer to have a physical copy of the game but I am not a fan of having to drive 40 miles at night to pick up a game by my lonesome. With the past expansions I bought it at midnight but being that I was in college at the time there would be a group to go with me. Buying it at midnight alone is not near as fun.

    Gunna stand outside the store at midnight, along with everybody else. The nerd ratio is high and there's good times to be had while you stand outside in the chill.

    I wish there was a midnight release in my town, if there will be one (doubt it) then probably i'll be there.
    If not (most likely) i'll just buy one from store couple days after release, since i'm going to reroll and won't need cataclysm right away

    EB Games, canadas version of Gamestop I believe. Have one fairly close to my house. Not sure if I'll go to the midnight release though
