You can now sign up to the open beta over at fileplanet. It's simple to get on however it's a 2.5 Gb download. And thats after you've waited over 3 hours in the queing system.

Just letting you all know :P

Yeh, it takes absolutely ages to install and the servers are down at the minute so I haven't had chance to play it.

They've closed it after an overwhelming response and filling their target number of testers. Darn.

The collectors edition also look like a decent package:

"Were very excited to now reveal the confirmed contents of the World of Warcraft Collectors Edition. This special edition collectors set will feature an inventory of rare, exclusive items created to commemorate the launch of your epic quest into Azeroth, including:

* The full game on both CD-ROM and DVD-ROM
* 1-month subscription to World of Warcraft
* The Art of World of Warcraft, 200+ page hardcover art book
* World of Warcraft Behind-the-Scenes DVD
* Exclusive in-game pet
* Official soundtrack
* Cloth map charting the continents of Kalimdor, Azeroth, Khaz Modan, and Lordaeron
* Signed Collectors Edition game manual
* 10-Day Free Guest Pass invite one of your friends to join the epic quest

Further details regarding country-specific availability will be announced in the near future."

I'll be pre-ordering that one when I can.

I didnt bother queuing, i just got it straight from the blizzard site.

The transfer rates are pretty poor though, anywhere between 20-40kb/s.
