Blizzard have sent through word they've teamed up with EB Games for a midnight launch of World of WarCraft: Wrath of the Lich King at the retail gaming giant's newest Sydney headquarters, located at 340 George Street, Sydney CBD Thursday, November 13.

Festivities kick off around 9.30pm with a bunch of different geektastic events, including:

• World of Warcraft Trivia Competition
• Guitar Hero Contest featuring music by Level 80 Elite Tauren Chieftain
• Wrath of the Lich King Discussion Panel
• Live Performance by Eminence Artists, creators of Echoes of War: The music of Blizzard Entertainment

You'll also be able to win prizes and other crazy WoW related junk for giving up a precious evening, but clearly the big event of the night will be the launch of the game where 100 lucky buyers could also score themselves a very limited (1 of 100) WarCraft figurine, and five other winners will see their purchase upgraded to the Collector's Edition.

If you live interstate, Melbourne's Swanston Street EB and Brisbane's Albert Street stores will be holding similar events, but make sure you get in touch with them for finer details.

I just preordered at the EB up the road at lunch and they told me they were having a midnight launch party.

I told them I'll be right and just pick it up the next day.
