BlizzCon 2010 set for Anaheim this fall

Another blog interruptus: The all-things-Blizzard-Entertainment game fest BlizzCon returns this fall to the Anaheim Convention Center.
BlizzCon, which will be the Irvine game company’s fifth fan convention, is set for Friday and Saturday, Oct. 22 and 23, 2010.
The convention usually sells out within minutes because it’s one of the rare chances for fans of the company’s games — World of Warcraft, Diablo and StarCraft — to get sneak peeks at coming games, meet the developers and snag some rare merchandise. Worldwide, some 11 million gamers play just World of Warcraft. The Blizzard franchise has been around since the early 1990s so it has a large and loyal fan base.
More details will be posted at blizzcon.com.

Here's a list of TV/mobile companies helping consumers one tweet at a time. 
wow people will have to leave their homes for this?
Hopefully they will have a solid date for D3, but im not holding my breath.
Selling out in minutes is an understatement. I heard like 45 seconds last year. – They need a bigger venue or more days.
When you are a big enough nerd as some of these folks are, you basically have a network cable going straight to your jugular vein. Selling out in 45 seconds, probably had a few folks still using dial up haha.
