blizzcon stream , FREE ?

[krauz]

so i got this in my mail http://blizzcon.rayv.com/

40 USD to stream the event, last year i watched the full blizzcon free via octoshape

are we gettin free stream this year? any news?

if blizz is chargin for this dont think they will allow anyone to stream it for free

[leandar]

You have to pay for it, i heard people say that you might be able to go to some websites that might have somone streaming it there for free. Think ensidia or some other guild will be streaming arena but we all the the RMP is most likely to win.

40 USD? Flip thats steep.

Yeah, and from what i gather its not even in HD. Blizz should get with MS to stream it on Xbox live and zune marketplace as well as Windows Media Center.

I have no cable, not buying direct tv and not sure i'm paying 40 bucks for an internet stream that looks pretty shady at best.

Anyone watch it on the net last year and have any feedback?

You can watch the live stream and pay 40$ for it to see some panels, dance contest and maybe some costume contest or whatever the stream company will show you. Or you can listen to the transmission by Wcradio.com and hear everything that happens there, choose whichever panels you wish to hear, and have it accessible on an archive.

So heck, if you are after the information and choice, listen to the live stream by wcradio.com. I did so last year, and was very pleased.

I'm assuming the radio stream will be free? Or at least cheaper than $40? If so, that's probably the route I'll take.

[Oprah]

free.

i also took that route last year, and was very pleased..

I like sitting on MMO-champ each year and getting everything they say with SS for free. I care what they have to say, but not enough to sit at my computer to watch it for 40 bucks.

Yep, it will be completely free, and this year should be in far better quality as well due to better equipment.

this year i was going to pay for the live stream, but now i am just going to watch it on the Voluminso channel on Jtv, the guy has really good quality for vids so i am hoping for the best.

There were definitely multiple streams last year that you could buy too. But only the octoshape thing was free, and that was basically just the main stage, and some random Starcraft type tournament play too.

If you pay you get 18 hours streamed from BlizzCon, you see everything and you get a murloc pet in-game. Im not paying, im gonna watch the parts i want on youtube the day after..

Crazy talk.
I'm sure there'll be others available.. No way i'll pay 40 usd to get info you'll see a day later on youtube anyhow. Or a few hours even.

Or do like me: spam F5 on mmo-champion and a couple days later watch the panels on youtube

[Evilmoo]

ain't paying for dat shit mon.
if dere be something important, it'll be on mmo champion or gamespot. why would i bother?

[alonso]

Only thing I'd want to see is Starcraft tournament if July or Flash is participating. WC3 matches would be fun to see but Lyn is just going to massively rape everyone anyway.

[Deleted]

for 40$ you can get starcraft murloc what u can get like after blizzcon in 5-6 weeks

[bbr]

For clarity, WHEN is blizzcon?
