- GameStop starts WoW: Wrath of Lich King pre-orders -
GameStop has opened up pre-orders for
the next
expansion in the World or Warcraft that'll bring it back to the old
skool Warcraft III plot line and have adventurers heading to Northrend to
kill (or maybe bring redemption to) Prince Arthas. The price for the
expansion is currently listed at $39.99, which is a safe bet considering
that was the cost of The Burning Crusade.

Warhawk's gone gold and will be hitting the Playstation Network on 8/28

Both Amazon and GameStop currently sell the Rock Band bundle for $199, with

So, for gamers looking to avoid the currently marked $20 difference between

apparently not the answer.
