World of Warcraft Game Card (PC Games)

This card is a good idea. My only issue with the game card (and the monthly subs) is that it would be good if you could "bank"the time you get from the card.

By this i mean, whenever you log into your account the amount of time left on the card decreases and stops when you log out. It's a shame this can't be done cos either way you pay for the gaming experience whether or not you are logged on.

I'd prefer to pay when i'm actually playing as you are losing (in terms of the $ and to a lesser extent - time) when your not, especially say for example you are away for "X" amount of days.

So if we look at it - for $1.40NZD per day (based on 31 days / $22.00 for a monthly credit card payment). It may not seem like much but if you were to calculate each day you didn't play by the cost (ie: 10 days in the month not spent playing = $14.00 you are charged for).

Stack this up per annum and it all adds up. I hate to bang on about the cost but i strongly feel that we should all be given the best value for the money where putiing up.

Food for thought.

I will have to disagree with mr. anonymus from Napier even though it's like NZ$22 per month when converted from US dollars and not everyone has a credit card. You're basically getting two months (of gameplay) for the price of one not counting the lil bit for packaging. basically kinda like a top up for your cellfone but it's for World of warcraft game.

worth it I give it a 5 out of 5 rating.

Definetly a good idea, no messing about, safe and secure becuase its like topping up your vodafone account all you do is scratch the card and type in the number and you are away.

Not to mention the fact that people without Credit Cards can buy game time ^^

This card seems to cost more than if you used a credit card to purchase game time. A monthly subscription is around 22 NZ dollars.

Having said that this card has three advantages. You don't need to worry about exchange rates, you can give the cards as gifts and perhaps the most important thing is not having to worry about paying interest on your credit card.
