BlizzCon 2008 to be Televised

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the g4-really-stretching-for-guest-hosts-this-year dept.

Blizzard has just started pushing their BlizzCon 2008 agenda in earnest and the big news this year is that apparently the highlights of the show are going to be televised. DIRECTV users will apparently be able to call up the show as a pay-per-view item and if you switch to the satellite service in August you can even get this item for free (I would love to see the numbers on how many people actually do this). Hopefully Blizzard continues to learn from their convention mistakes and capitalizes on the many new and exciting releases they have on the horizon. Tickets go on sale August 11.

    .. are the same company, maybe someone can step up on TV and ask them why they've cancelled or put on the back burner the releases of Ghostbusters, Brutal Legend and 50 Cent: Blood On The Sa...

    Actually, just ask them about Ghostbusters and Brutal Legend.
