Burning Crusade to Burn Midnight Oil

Blizzard has announced that it will be teaming up with Fry's Electronics and GameStop/EB Games to host four midnight launches, all in the developer's home state of California, for its upcoming World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade expansion. Each store will have Blizzard team members available to meet gamers and sign game boxes. The events will be held at 12:00am Pacific Standard Time at GameStop/EB Games in Universal City, Fry's Electronics in Sunnyvale, Fry's Electronics in Fountain Valley, and Fry's Electronics in Anaheim. In the announcement, the company noted that while it is only officially participating in four launch events, various GameStop/EB Games, Fry's Electronics, and Best Buy locations will also be holding their own midnight launches; gamers will need to contact their local stores to determine whether there is a launch event nearby.
