I like these “who’s playing” commercials pushing World of Warcraft.

I can’t stop thinking of the E3’s Leroy Viral Release anytime WoW comes up, that we posted here in 2005, and a follow up in 2007.

The original Go Leroy was just so damn funny. I do like the strategy here of showing who is behind the character and what type of character the celebrity is.

Of the ones I have seen, the Mr. T version is my fav.

Blizzard and Dell unbox the WoW Edition XPS M1730
by: Sarah

Blizzard and Dell came together to make one fantastic product for those WoW players out there.  I know there are a lot of them, but not a lot of them have everything this package offers.  For $4,500 Gizmodo reports,

The XPS M1730 World of Warcraft Edition is a fully equipped for battle. The system is emblazoned with custom World of Warcraft artwork, inside and out, that leaves no question as to purpose - pure, unadulterated gaming action. Exclusive rare bonus items and a World of Warcraft backpack filled to the brim with game-themed extras are also part of the unique experience.

In the videos, Randydeluxe Jordan unboxes this sleek machine.  It seems that Randydeluxe is more excited about the interior of the box being a glossy black than the actual contents.  He shows great enthusiasm for the packaging rather than the laptop itself.  If it were me unwrapping the box I probably would be like the kids who opened the .

Besides the specs on the machine, the coolest part I thought was the tiny LCD GamePanelTM by Logitech that allows you to track your stats.

I’m sure this is on many of the dedicated WoW fan’s Christmas lists this year… I hope Santa has the money to bring everyone those.
