Hmm... anniversary is coming up. A polar bear mount would be the perfect gift! The family that plays together stays together, y'know.
What other deals are you giving up to get that free $40 PPV?

Pardon me, I am confused, what is a Polar Bear Mount?
An in-game incentive for World of Warcraft players to purchase this PPV.

Pretty much. :D
Man, I'd order this only if it was 100% Diablo 3.
