There's a queue 70,000 80,000 140,000 people long in the U.S. store.  Do the math.  Blizzard made a mint.  Expect more such items in the future.

UPDATE:  My favorite comment about Blizzard's selling of digital items is at the link below.  I believe folks aren't complaining about buying such expensive digital items now because kids are overrunning WOW. Thoughtful adults are not purchasing such things, especially in such a down economy, but there are few adults left playing the game.
