So my collector's edition comes may 15th sometime during the day from amazon.... My problem is I REALLY want to play at midnight.... Desperately trying to find a way to play at midnight I contacted tech support and the guy told me I can buy the digital presale and when I upgrade to the CE I can contact tech support and they will give me a standard edition game key that I can sell/add to another account/give away etc. He said if you get it from the annual pass you get 4 months wow time, no annual pass you get a 2nd standard key... I asked him if there were any blue posts or anything on an official website that stated this and he told me he couldn't find it.... Does this sound right to you guys? I'd hate to waste 60 dollars to play a few hours early.
The Collector's Edition is only available from retail, and that means to play as soon as possible you'll want to hit a midnight release to pick it up (or hope FedEx drops off your package super fast). We don't have any plans to release a digital CE, it's a retail-only kind of thing. But! you may have a few options.
If you have the WoW Annual Pass (or go sign up for it now) you get a free digital copy of Diablo III. This will give you the game right at midnight, you can go download right now, all that stuff. Then, when you pick up your CE, you can overwrite the standard edition license with the CE license and you'll be granted 4 months of game time (more or less equivalent to the cost of the standard edition). So that's a good option. More info also available in the Annual Pass FAQ.
Alternatively,you can get the digital version now, play right at midnight, overwrite your license with your CE when you pick it up, and then contact our support department. In most situations they'll be able to grant you a new standard key, which you can then give to a friend, or whatever.
