Will Diablo 3 Be Playable At BlizzCon 2008?

With BlizzCon 2008 coming up this week, attending Diablo fans are wondering whether or not they'll finally get a chance to play a demo of the long-awaited Diablo 3 at the event. Blizzard has just released the following information about BlizzCon:

"We’ve just released the final schedule and floor plan for BlizzCon. The schedule lists the locations and times for the major events that will take place during the convention, such as hands-on gaming, tournaments, contests, and of course the developer panels where Blizzard’s game designers talk about the many aspects of making a great game. The floor plan will give you more information on the exact locations of this year’s points of interest such as the stores, hands-on gaming stations, and more.

Check out the schedule of events and the interactive floor plan now!"
After a quick look at the floor plan, you'll notice three different color-coded "Hands-on Gaming" sections. Based on their colors, it seems like there's one for Starcraft 2, one for Wrath of the Lich King, and one for Diablo III.

That being said, there is still no official confirmation as to whether or not a demo of the game will be playable as Bashiok explains to us:

"We're very excited to be offering additional hall space and hands-on gaming areas, including our Retro Arcade. The games available at each area will be listed in the show schedule handed out at the time of badge pick up." -Bashiok
Definitely looking forward to checking out the Retro Arcade as well. Here's hoping The Lost Vikings is included!

And take a look at that schedule of events. I'm definitely looking forward to the Diablo III Gameplay, Diablo III Lore & Art, and Diablo III Class Design panels along with some other general Blizzard ones... how about you guys?
