With BlizzCon tickets $100 a pop, you might have a hard time justifying attending a real-life raid on the Anaheim Convention Center. Today, Blizzard revealed one little fact that might make fence-sitting conventioneers jump at the chance to attend. Everyone who attends BlizzCon this year will get a nice little bonus—a beta key for an "upcoming Blizzard game."

Hmmm. The only upcoming Blizzard game I'm aware of is the recently announced StarCraft II, so this could be a very nice little bonus. Of course, for those World of Warcraft-only heads out there, you're still getting some nice swag. In addition to the flattering Murloc Suit in-game item, pictured, Blizz promises more stuff "to be announced in a future update." But, seriously, StarCraft II beta! Even I might have to attend. And expense.

I hope Korean Air's web site holds up under the strain of well-to-do StarCrafters booking flights. Michael McWhertor
