Will you be hoping to grab a ticket for this year's event?
I MUST COLLECT MORE PETS!
Looks like you'll be skipping Starcraft 2 then.
Ha! Then you are the one that will be missing out for quite a while, probably a few years. The whole idea of 3 installments is to make the single player that much longer. After all, you know they are planning expansions so think of it as them announcing 2 guaranteed expansions. But, I am biased. I have gone to two BlizzCons and am in the Beta for SC2 (Gold ladder, woot!) Also, BlizzCon is not a fragfest like quakecon and I would advise people if they do not like long lines or care about the atmosphere then they can watch the panels streaming online. If you are not A WoW fan then that is when you can play all the demos because 70% of the audience is in the auditorium.
