That hearthstone effect is ass.

Already pre-order the Physical Collector's edition box

[Lorgran]

So, it says Drakks pet is a pre-order only, but it's also in the physical collector image.
So what is it? Preorder + physical, or preorder only?

You'd think a "spotlight" would highlight all the info you need, not contain contradictory information...

[Grimalkin of Old]

Pro-tip: don't preorder games.

[mrgreenthump]

Pro-tip: don't preorder games.

Or pre-order them a day or two before release if you've made your mind on playing it day one.

[korijenkins]

Pre-order bonuses need to be outlawed, especially when Blizzard uses them to deny you refunds.

[Djaye]

you all want the game to get better? dont pre-order.
make them sweat a little and actually think to themselves (oh crap, the sheep arent eating)
the game will never be player friendly again until players stop throwing money at everything with the Tag WoW.

did anyone not notice the break glass in case of emergency they pulled out at the end of SL. keep them on that mindset.

Not really very Inspiring

Everything highlighted above, including the physical edition, is a pre-order. When you go to the Blizzard Store, you have to click on "pre-order" to purchase the physical edition.

After the Dragonflight expansion launches, the offer for the bonus pet will no longer be available. I have added this part to the pet info to further clarify when the offer ends. Thanks for the feedback!

blizz doesent deny refunds for pre-orders...

[TheRevenantHero]

blizz doesent deny refunds for pre-orders...

oh yes they absolutely do all the time.

Pins are hideous.

Just because they were in the SL box it doesn't mean they should be a norm. The BFA CE had a nice heavy metal medallion with a rack that could be presented on the shelf/table. The pins? Won't ever use them. They look like something that anyone could order from some chinese website for 0,50$ at max.

I bought a complete in-box Yellow Label edition of Metroid for the NES instead of this. I feel like the NES game will be a better investment.

[azuraji]

That Drakks pet looks like something they've rehashed from Cata. Unoriginal and certainly not inspiring, let alone worthy of being included in a Collector's Edition box.

[Nerph-]

The artbook is the only cool thing about that physical collectors edition but fucked if I'm paying 130 for it (not including the box design, which is also cool to be fair). Can't begin to imagine why I'd want some pins and a crappy mousepad.

As for the other stuff: wings look shit, crown looks shit, hearthstone spell effect looks shit, mount is pretty boring and I'd be bored of the pets within a few days.

I wasn't going to preorder anyway but Blizzard made that decision much easier to live with.

[pahbi]

I have to say, I'm always envious of how Blizz can rake in so much $$$

They have so many ravenous, buy anything, pay anything, do anything fans that they can shovel anything out the door and rest assured it will make millions.

If I pre-order its going to be within 1-2 days of release once I make sure its something I want to spend time and money on.

[Thelxi]

Long gone are the days of the sparkle pony outrage. Every day is a whale festival now.

[Darkeon]

More info about the preorder selections than there is about the expansion itself.

[Nightshade711]

Wish the wings were a little bigger.
I'd be fine with the no physics if they were close to the size of the old Warlock wings.
