    This is not worth the money. Last year it was horrible trying to watch it on TV. Convention clips are alright to watch online, but you lose the joy of a convention watching it all on TV. None of the random, fan induced craziness is ever caught on camera either.

    Unless you want that pet SOOO bad, then I would get it. If $40 for something you will summon for a week then forget about interests you. At least last year we got a mount, which is almost worth it.

    I can't believe it costs $40 just to watch the show live. I suppose it's probably because it's like 20 hours of commercial-less live footage.

    I find it saddening that I actually want to buy this, although I can't even afford it.

    My friend got me hooked on WoW a couple of months ago and I haven't looked back since. I already bought Burning Crusade last month and WotLK this month, and am breezing through both. I loved the baby murlocs so much after having done a quest, only to find out that the actual pets were through a Blizzcon '05 exclusive or a European collector's edition of Burning Crusade. So I'm really tempted to buy this stupid pet, but I think I might pass, just for the fact that my friend and I both agreed that we'd move on to The Old Republic instead when that comes out.

    But the Murloc...plus StarCraft...Blizzard knows how to empty a wallet.

    Oh and they're showing up on eBay already...lol.

    Grunty is cute, but not 40$ cute. But if you look at it from a different angle, that's a whole lot cheaper than the 100's of dollars people sold the bear mount for on ebay...

    Oh Blizzard! You're even asking for money to advertise your products! For shame.

    I'm a pretty big Blizz fan, and even have a decent share (for an average income) of ATVI in my portfolio, but... rly? Going might actually be fun and a neat experience, but paying $40 for the pet and streaming video of announcements that will be out minutes after? Seriously?

    Yeah, $40 is ridiculous to ask for this. A friend of mine pointed this out to me about a week ago, and my first question was "How much is it? $10? $15?" and his response "... Uhm. If that's your guess, then I'm not going to tell you what it actually is..."
