You can pre-order/pre-load the data from battle.net. I saw some news on that today, don't know if it's available yet. http://wow.joystiq.com/2010/10/22/blizzcon-2010-cataclysm-will-be-available-for-digital-download/

Hmm. In two minds about this.

I want to play as soon as humanly possible. I leave to go overseas 4-5 days after release, so I don't want to wait for the game to arrive via mail. The digital version is obviously superior in this regard.

On the other hand, I like having the box and physical copy. I own the boxed version of all the other expansions, so I'd like to continue that.

I understand that GAME and other retailers have been known to send off pre-orders a few days prior to release, so that they arrive on the day the game goes live.
Might have been the case with SC2? This would be ideal..but I could just be making this up, who knows

If anyone is interested HN have the pre-order for $38. Of course, with the strong OZ dollar buying from Blizz straight is almost the same lol. But I like my discs.

Same. This is actually one game that I like having the physical discs for, just because it takes ages to reinstall because it's so big. I'd rather not have to download it one day if the need arises.

Keen to get a CE so pre-ordered from JB.

Just in case anyone is still interested, DSE have Cata @$38 with free delivery. Though by this stage I think most ppl will already have pre-ordered it?

^^ yep, that's a nice deal! I went with that. Hoping that it'll be sent out prior to release so that it gets to me on time..the site does say it will be shipped 6/12, so let's hope!

So did i but im still yet to receive a phone call from them about it like the email they send out says.

*edit* Just sent them an email about the price change and whether they are going to charge those that pre-ordered from them that price if they are, they can stick it in there arse.

Yeah I was worried about pre-ordering from HN online, so I went into the store and put down some deposit. So I've actually got the receipt detailing Cata as $38. Don't know if they can pull a swifty on that or not though~

Got the Digital Version, and got the CE off EB Games Website.

Apparently EB will be mailing them out so it will arrive in the morning/afternoon before the servers launch. So no waiting until the next day like the last 2 expansions.

Good news!
Though launch day the servers will probably be overwhelmed anyway so I wasn't too worried about a day or two late.
