WotLK out in my local game shop? :O

[Andeby]

Hi! My friend went to a game shop near where he lives today, and he called me and said they have WotLK in, and I didn't understand shit and told him to take a picture, so he did. This is a crappy picture taken with a cellphone and then showed to me with a built-in webcam on a laptop, so quality is very low.
Picture:

Wow.. That is badly taken..

Very, and print+screen from a crappy webcam on msn didn't help that much. He doesn't have a usb cable for his phone so he couldn't send it to me.

Why can't he just email the damn pic from his phone like pretty much any phone can do? >_<

His phone doesn't support it :/
I matched them up and this one does match the box on teh interwebs. It also had a sticker saying "Requires Burning Crusade". Unfortunately he didn't get a picture of the top, and can't remember if it said "Expansion Set" on the top.

Could easily be it, but it won't even be upgradable to WoTLK until blizzard decides it.

Could be pre-order boxes.

Either way, get your hands on it.

Actually, the "World of Warcraft" is on the top on the box

That's a picture of the strategy guide, but that's what the box is going to look like.
Just go to the home page and flip through a couple of news articles.
Oh, and if in fact that is a real box, I highly doubt it has anything in it. A couple stores have "show-off" boxes just so they can put it up in their Coming Soon section.

The game went gold 10th of October. If you didn't know, that means they start manufacturing the game.

The pre-order boxes have been in stores for ages, but if this is indeed the real box, it's most likely empty and not available for purchase before the 13th.
