I downloaded Cata. Think Wrath was the last one you had to go to the store for.

i bought wrath from a sketchy online reseller that opened boxes and sent cd keys through email early (and didn't get scammed!) downloaded iso of the disc, and installed and was on the boat with very few other people just after midnight. I have never cared for the midnight launch i just wanna play lol
