Buy a USB Flash drive, get WoW trial free!

It's not often that we talk about computer hardware here at Massively, but this story has a bit of an MMO twist, we promise. Kingston Technology Company, best known for their lines of RAM and other memory hardware, has recently announced an expansion of its USB Flash drive line with the introduction of the DataTraveler HyperX model in the Middle East.

The thing that grabbed our attention the most though, is the fact that with the purchase of this USB Flash drive, customers will receive an additional free 10-day trial to World of Warcraft. This leads to the inevitable worry that WoW trials will eventually become as widespread and annoying as those AOL free-trial disks that you're probably using as drink coasters right now. Sure you can get these free trials on the WoW website at any time, but is this hardware/software trial bundle going too far?
