WotLK DVD drive REQUIRED?

I guess I'm one of the few that still don't have a DVD drive. I saw some info earlier stating the box version will only be available with DVD. I had planned on buying a DVD drive a few years back, but all of a sudden digital distribution came in and there has never been a case where I've needed a physical disc anymore.

I know that digital distribution wasn't immediately available for BC, but are things changing for WotLK? What about buying a physical box and downloading the client? I would like to get WotLK as close to launch as possible, but I really would rather not buy a DVD drive.

Q u o t e:
I will certainly buy one if I have to, but I'm wondering if I do have to. It's just that I would likely only ever use it for the expansion so it seems like a waste.

While we do intend to have a version of the client available for download, it likely will not be available right away. A DVD drive will be required if you'd like to step into Northrend on release day.

Don't copy that floppy
