calventeh -> When I signed up for the 10day trial.. it gives me the option to buy the game from them.. when I say buy the game.. it means the Registration Key..

so.. when u buy from Blizzard.. all u get is the Registration Key.. the game u have to download your self.. when u register for an account.. put in the Registration Key that u purchase from them and then you are off..

IF u buy the retail WoW game by cash.. you will get the CDs (5 of them).. the manual.. their product catalog.. and what really matters.. the Registration Key (which is printed on the hard cover CD case)
