That's right, get a World of Warcraft credit card and you can earn rewards for all that money you are spending. Right now it only looks like you can earn game time, but I can imagine coming up with other rewards as well. Maybe if you spend $20,000 on your credit card in the future you can get a fancy horse!

It seems like the industry is moving ever faster, as this credit card/gaming tie-in concept was talked about only one year ago. Looking at the one year old WoW credit card created for legendary blogger Joi Ito we can see that they were pretty much dead on.

Whether you game or not, gaming has become big business. As more and more people grow up with games as a big part of their lives, the gaming industry has grown as well. UMPCs could become a big part of the gaming industry as game developers pay more attention to them. Already there are some UMPC owners who play World of Warcraft on their UMPC, use emulators to play console games, or play those addictive PopCap Games.
