If you are like me and can’t wait until 10:00 A.M. of release day to pick up your brand new game, and even take in that NewGameSmell, then World of Warcraft players will be happy to hear that GameStop is hosting midnight events for the Cataclysm expansion pack! With this event, customers can compete in ‘trivia and dance’ contests and are also eligible for savings on routers, mouses, and other computer doo-dads.

Even if you don’t pick up World of Warcraft: Cataclysm at a GameStop midnight launch, buying it from GameStop within the first 48 hours will net you a 50% bonus in Power Up reward points. Sound good?

The midnight event takes place December 6 and you can peep the launch info on GameStop’s site. But first, will you take the step into the outdoors in order to pick up Cataclysm or will you download it? Oh, and I meant legally, by the way.
