I just bought the Cata digital download for both my accounts, and am very happy that Blizzard made this service available as it saves me having to go to a shop to purchase.
My one issue is that I think I have paid more then the quoted $39.99USD. I'll check my bank account tonight when the transactions have been processed, but I am pretty sure I have been charged the recommended retail price that I would of paid buying it off the shelf in Australia, which is about $60AU
Same thing happened with SC2, which was very annoying. I am so against protectionism, and it is annoying that Australians are getting gouged to protect the profit line of retail dinosaurs like Harvey Norman.
Woot game will go live 7pm Tuesday the 7th! For sure I'll be taking a flex on the next day!
Edit: just checked my bank statement and I was charges $42.09AUD for the download! I take back everything I said, except the part where I was ripped off buying SC2!

WOW! 7 months! Not bad little blog, not bad.
Seems I need to be in a specific mood to want to post, interesting *strokes beard
Well actually, I don't have a beard no more as of last weekend, it was getting too hot, scratchy, and ginger. GINGER WTF. I was scared I'd be a victim of racial discrimination. Also I've been told by my boss, along with the rest of the team, that I'm going into Movember this year, and I had to be clean shaven at the start of November.
So yer, the blog. Not sure what to do with you.
And the game. omg the game. So much for unplugging, I've gone in the opposite direction really, much to my recent disgust. Lets recap what I've done in the last months of the game.
Main- Tanked 12/12 10 & 25m Lich king, 10/12hm 10m and 6/12(?)hm 25m. WOW! In that time, I got involved in 2 guilds thanks to Sicnic. The first one was great, there were some good (and bad) players, we got to 11/12 with myself replacing the other pally tank. We couldn't get LK though, and the GM/RL finally cracked it and announced he was server and faction transferring (lol). 2 days later, he gkicked everyone except his bank alt and that was that.
Sic got me into my current guild which was full of some hardcore guys. We only raid Friday and Saturdays, but man we raid on those nights, doing full clears of 10/25 if we aren't dicking around wiping on HMs. I'm only H Sindy away from my 10m drake! Omg I'm still shaking my head over that one, at my last post in March I wasn't even sure I'd get LK kill let alone the drake, damn.
Speaking of Mounts, I got the Rusted Proto (sweet), the Red Proto (nice) and with it the 100 mounts achieve which awarded the Blue Dragonhawk (pretty). And with everything benefitting from 310% mount speed, I can start using my mount /random castsequence macro again.
Got the Hunter/Shammie team to 80, got them geared (the hunter more than the shammie) and have left them at that. Leveled engineering on the Shammie which is very cool.
Got my locks to 80, got the horde hunter/rogue to 80, got another team at 71 which I am having trouble shifting to 75 prior to Cata.
I've been doing loremaster on the horde team, but not sure if I am going to make it before Cata and not sure if I even want to do it. Sigh.
And year, I deleted the mages. Fuck playing mages! The male undead running animation is cool though, kinda hunched over and sneaky.
So I might be back, maybe.
