Blizz posts overpriced ringtones, wallpapers

Filed under:

It’s not an iPhone Armory app, but Blizzard did release some official content for your mobile phones. They’ve set up a mobile.blizzard.com site, at which you can buy wallpapers and ringtones from WoW and the other Blizz franchises. At this point, you’re probably asking yourself one question: can I get a murloc gurgle ringtone? The answer, thankfully, is yes. Yes you can. (Though I can’t guarantee it’s a good idea.)

There is a big catch: the ringtones are priced at $2.99 each. Yikes. I know ringtones are big business, and I know Blizz is all about the tie-ins, but this is foolishness. Who would pay this over recording an MP3 and sending it to their phone? The wallpapers are $1.99, which is equally dumb for something I could just as easily screenshot off Blizz’s concept art pages and email to my phone. Also I can’t find the USA or Canada on the list of countries; it seems, at least at the moment, that these are not available here.

It’s a shame that these are so oddly expensive, and that they’re not even available in the US, because some of them are pretty well-done. It would be awesome to play the WoW intro theme when my guildies text me to go raid. I guess I’ll just have to make my own ringtone for it.
