The Daily Grind: Streaming BlizzCon?

So we got the word yesterday that BlizzCon tickets will be on sale on the 16th - assuming we don't have another server-melting Failoc love in like we had last year - many more people will be able to pick up tickets and attend this year. Of course, for those of us who either can't pony up the cash to fly out to Los Angeles for the shindig, or for those who are only really interested in it for the announcements, a $125 ticket may not be on the agenda. As such, $40 can net you all the important news from the comfort of your own living room - and apparently an in-game WoW item too. Question is, would you be interested in doing that?

The good is that, well, you save a boatload by only ordering the streaming version, and you still land whatever item it is that the BlizzCon attendees will get (like last year's polar bear with murloc mount). You'll also save yourself from all the lines and being crushed in there with the unwashed masses. The downside is that you won't be there in person to really experience all that BlizzCon has to offer. So, will you consider streaming BlizzCon? Is it Los Angeles or bust for you? Or do you just not care one way or the other, but would go to a friend's house to watch for Diablo 3 or StarCraft 2 news if they had it on?
