What people do with their money is their business.
"I used to fence at Bel-Air Academy." "Oh, really? How much do you think we could get for that stereo?"
I'd have it on in the background just so I can hear about the new WoW expansion and when they think DIII may be done.
Which you'll be able to read online anywhere from a few minutes to a day later...for free.
While my interest is there, I still can't find myself justifying the cost of the Internet Stream being the same price as the DirecTV PPV...considering all the important info will be available online within a few days later.
Oh, duh! Thanks, Agent7. Gotta stop posting before I get caffeine in the morning..

Well it's really more like 40 bucks for the special pet. I just can't imagine why anyone would want to watch this.

How does a DirecTV event "sell out"? What they really mean is they are no longer taking orders, right?
No, what they mean is that the event is sold out. You cannot attend because tickets are impossible to get. Since you cannot attend in person, they are streaming it to PCs or beaming it to dishes so you can watch it in your home.
Reading comprehension FTW!

*Retraction* Actually, I may have been thinking about the Worldwide Invitational... not sure they ever streamed Blizzcon before.

They're smoking money joints. Rolling in it!

$40?! What the fuck are they smoking over there? We should post the link to justin.tv video feed here.
Woo! Side with a company that a LARGE AMOUNT of people CAN NOT get. I hate Comcast but they should have done this with them.
I bought it to see Ozzy! \m/ >_< \m/
Besides Ozzy I'm hoping to see something grand!
