$40 and an internet connection will get you into BlizzCon

Not going to be close to Anaheim, Calif., the first week of November? For those of you lusting to attend the annual BlizzCon event, you will be able to get there -- virtually.

BlizzCon, Blizzard Entertainment's annual get-together, will be viewable on your computer in HD with the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket. Taking place Nov. 4-5 at the Anaheim Convention Center, BlizzCon is a two-day celebration of Blizzard's game universes and the global player communities that bring them to life.

Available for $39.99, the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket provides comprehensive live HD coverage of the show on two online channels, giving gamers at home a front-row seat to the developer panels, contests and other activities at the show.

In addition, DirecTV customers in the U.S. will once again have the option to order the DirecTV BlizzCon Pay Per View event, also priced at $39.99, which includes access to the Virtual Ticket and associated perks. More information can be found at www.blizzcon.com.
