Blizzard Entertainment and DirecTV have partnered to deliver fans of Diablo, Starcraft and Warcraft a whooping 16 Hours live HD video coverage of BlizzCon 2008 via Pay-Per-View. This is historic. Blizzard fans for the first time have the opportunity to watch a Blizzard Event via TV.
The great news is that for those fans who subscribe to DirecTV ONLY through the BlizzCon website's special offer will watch the live coverage for free. The current DirecTV subscribers who already have the service will pay only $39.95. That beats paying airplane tickets, hotel and extra costs -- that if you ever get lucky to buy a BlizzCon ticket in the first place. Those are sold like hot bread ... very fast. The offer is not yet active, but will be soon. Keep alert for updates.
DiabloFans.com wants fans to offer feedback:

If you want to arrange it
This world you can change it
If we could somehow make this
Christmas thing last
By helping a neighbor
Or even a stranger
And to know who needs help
You need only just ask
That is a lot of money if your basically going to get all the information online anyway. I mean, if you could actually get a beta key if they had them there and you could get one if you paid for the pay-per-view, then i'd do it in a heartbeat.
Other than that... I would not pay for it when I can see it all online anyway.

I am going to blizzcon. Took the days off from work, told my boss that this is more important than programming phones for Hewlett Packard United States wide and already got the car ready for the 18 hour road trip.

Those before me shall quiver in my wake as I unleash the fury within!
I'm not going to pay money to see any of this. Unlike some, I have the patients to wait a day to see the highlights. I also know how to read and how to look up the reviews.
I disapprove of how Blizzard is going Microsoft on us. Nickel and Dime all the way

What is normal? Normal is a concept that everyone or a majority of people are the same or similar. However, we know that everyone is unique. If everyone is unique, then everyone is different. If everyone is different, then everyone is weird. If everyone is weird, then everyone is normal.
I never could get enough of Blizzcon/WWi - this is going to rock. I wonder if Blizzard will be doing the live streams this year? probably not, and that is why I don't mind paying.. plus you get the awesome Blizzcon mount with the murloc waving a flag!
I'm going to be working in San Diego during Blizzcon, so I will FINALLY be able to go, but I was really hoping that selling the mount would offset the cost of the ticket. Now that anyone can get the mount and it's not really "limited" as long as you have 30 dollars and DirectTV, it won't be worth much. =(
Live streams probably work better for me as I live in Finland and have no satellite dish.. if that would even be possible to get the signal here or pay for the channel or whatever :=) Loved the WWI08 live stream.
Going to blizzcon or WWI at some year would be extremely nice. Just have to wait until the school is over and I get some job so I can afford it
Unknown at the moment. I gotta ask my contacts because with a deal such as this one with Directv it is possible they may have a contract of exclusivity.
id love to watch in hd on my 50 inch but i have io digital cable not DTV although i loved DTV when i had it ..it went oout during storms so lets hope for all you who have DTV that there is no storm that day or you wont have anything to watch..... so i will be watching live stream all day waiting for the announcment of the release date for wotlk and sc2 release dat and the announcement of third class ..(it has to be announced its a huge event and if it televised then i think theyll announce a new class) most likely the mage caus eit is like the most common class in fantasy games

Not even Death will save you from Diablo Bunny's Cuteness!
I am going to be there myself I personally Can't wait to see all the Zerg stuff for SC2 and getting to see and maybe play Diablo3 (not getting my hopes up) will be very cool.
Sigh team marketing strategies for the lose. I'm a Dish network subscriber, I actually approve of this company over direct tv. They're just nice folk. Been subscribed to them for a few years now. Sigh... I'd love to get ahold of that polar bear mount an watch this coverage on my 42in 1080p lcd hdtv..
