    Hey guys, went shopping today and just wanted to let you know bout my purchases :)

    Purchase Number 1:

    Belkin Laptop Case
    http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=254648

    Don't officially own a laptop yet, Vostro 1500 on order tho ;) but I can tell this is a great case, good padding, and loads of pockets, including a proper iPod/MP3 player case :) Cant wait to fit my laptop in lol

    This was bought in Argos for 50 Euro

    Purchase Number 2:

    Guild Wars Prophecies and Nightfall. Been playing factions for a year, so i decided to finally buy the other 2 campaigns before I get Eye of the North.

    Bought in GAME for 50 Euro for both :)

    Purchase Number 3:

    World Of Warcraft, World Of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, and a 60-day time card. Finally made the leap to warcraft to enjoy when I go to college next month on my new laptop.

    These cost me roughly 80 Euro for the lot, which is a pretty good deal, for Ireland anyway, as good as some net prices I've seen :)

    So let me know what you think of my purchases, cant wait to enjoy them on my new lappy ;)

    That's like 160 dollars. Sounds expensive in Europe.

    I mean if I ever felt like it, WoW = 20-30 bucks, BC: 40-50. And it's 15 bucks a month in the US for a month of play.

    At worst that's like 110 dollars. The rising Euro has really made things expensive.
