WOW Package Deals?

I really hope they sell Cataclysm already bundled with the original game, BC, and LK expansions included. I know Blizzard never does that with expansions, but a lot of other gaming companies do. (Well, only EQ2 and LotRO come to mind, but still.)
Considering this expansion is completely redefining the old world, do you guys think it is possible? Or, at the very least, do you think they will combine the original game, BC, and LK together?
I'll be looking to come back to start all over, but not sure it's worth spending the money to buy all these things separately....
WoW Battle Chest (includes original game and Burning Crusade) ... $36.99 on Amazon.
Wrath of the Lich King expansion... $36.99 on Amazon.
Cataclysm expansion... $39.99 on Amazon.
Total price for the full game:
$113.97
.
Just seems to be a lot of money to me. :-o

You don't need to buy all the expansions at once. Problem solved. Also, if $100 is a lot of money for you, you shouldn't be playing mmorpgs to begin with.

Thanks for your input, but you are applying it to a problem I didn't express.
My question was based on package deals that other MMO's out there have offered and are offering for their new expansion packs. They usually offer these deals for this very reason: many gamers out there would not want to shell out $113+tax just to, for example, play a Worgen.
I have the money to spend, any one can create the money they need to do anything they wish if the drive is strong enough. I'm just not sure it's worth such a hefty initial investment to accomplish my goal. (Worgen Druid. :-P)
In the end, it's an answer best left to my wallet and desire to play. However, I thought I'd open this thread to see what others think of the possibility for this type of package deal. I don't know if Blizzard has done this with their past games; I've only really played WoW.

With a new expansion on the horizon, it's pretty much a given that we'll see another "Battlechest" that includes WotLK in addition to the contents of the current Battlechest out now. If you wait a bit, I'm sure that you can find WotLK for a lot cheaper than $36.99; I've already seen it on sale for $30 at some places, and I'm sure soon we'll be seeing it on sale for $20. The same thing happened shortly before WotLK came out (except with BC, of course).

Oh sweet, didn't know they dropped the prices like that previously. I was in beta and did the whole "wait in line at midnight" stuff when each expansion hit, so never noticed what prices went for afterward. Gave my account away to a friend when I thought I was done with the game, but alas, Cataclysm looks too good to pass up. :)

Last week here in the UK I saw both original and TBC priced at £4.99 ea that's about $9 ea I think, and Wotlk at £13.99 (about $25?) (The Store is Game if anyone is looking in the UK!) - Pretty cheap really compared to the original release prices.
