I'm not trying to be rude or mean here but this really doesn't seem to warrant front page coverage. A lot of games have collector's editions, though I realize that it's a bit strange for an expansion to have a collector's edition, I just don't quite understand why this is front page worthy?

Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Simply put, it is a gaming related news item.

I guess I failed to see where it's even 'news-worthy'. ::: shrug :::

I'll speak up for the World of Warcraft Community (if I leave something out or say something that is not quite right – Call me out!). I think its cool that it’s on the front page of the news section. Why you may ask? Well I personally have never played MMORPG’s ever in my life. I was strictly console based rpg/shooter type games. When I got introduced to the first stress/beta to World of Warcraft I was like, “…ahh man, not another ‘sim-city’ (referring to how Warcraft’s game play was) type game…and on top of that a ‘new’ edition to that type of game play…” Well I was slapped in the face by the quality of game play. It was first person, and man you could interact with people from all over! I thought this was the most amazing thing ever invented… (keep in mind this was my first ever interaction with games of this caliber). It certainly was not the first of this type ever made, which I later found out, but it was ‘my’ first. I got hooked. I started my account (with the first collector’s edition) on November 23rd 2004. I have been playing ever since. Having all the extras that were included with the collector’s edition and seeing how the artists created this game is totally awesome. Its like all of my promo Marvel Comics, I don’t ‘need’ them but I ‘NEED’ them…if that makes since. It could be related to having the box set to YES, I could go out and by all their CD’s…but man how I love all the info that’s in that book. Back to World of Warcraft….

It’s a nice edition to the series and being the owner of the first collectors edition I can honestly say, TO ME it’s worth it. As far as on the front page news, it’s cool to see that it’s in the news, because it’s something not only I but thousands of others are apart of. Thanks for placing this on the front page…see you in game and in Burning Crusade!

Fair enough, I can see why you and the WoW community would like to see this as a news article. I rescind my prior stance on this issue.

Enjoy the expansion, it's coming soon!
