Gamefly in Bed with Blizzard?

When I came home from CES, I had a "Gift from Gamefly" waiting for me in one of those pretty envelopes. Not knowing what it was, I ended up a bit disappointed when I opened it to find a free, 14-day trial to World of Warcraft. I thought that it was interesting that a predominate PC based company was working with a predominate console/handheld company to solicit new users to their service. This could be the first actions of the recent Activision/Blizzard merger to combine forces to reach out to the console gamers that Activision usually serves.
