World of Warcraft: WotLK '7-11 Run'

Just one week ago we were clearing out the stock of Gears of War 2 at our local 7-Eleven two days before the official street date -- and now we're back again doing the same for World of WarCraft: Wrath of the Lich King, which doesn't launch until November 13. Our new favorite game retailer just does not understand the concept of street dates, but we're okay with that. Check out the video of our latest 7-Eleven run above.

While it's unlikely that Blizzard will allow us early adopters to catch the next boat to Northrend -- we expect that switch won't flip until 12:01 a.m. Thursday morning -- we can't actually test that theory, because the world servers are all down for extended maintenance. It seems that the mail system is acting up, and Blizzard's merry band of database wonks are quietly freaking out as they attempt to restore the contents of everyone's in-game inbox. WoW Insider has a nice summary of that situation. We'll update you on the status of our early trip to Northrend as soon as the world comes back online. LF4M 7-Eleven patrons for Utgarde Keep!
