Blizzard announced today the return of BlizzCon, it will run from October 10-11 at the Anaheim Convention center in California. Rumor has it there will be some huge announcement (naturally) and I am sure the Diablo 3 or Starcraft MMO will top that rumor list. Tickets will go on sale in the next few weeks and will go for $100 a shot.
