Blizzard Demo's?

Hey all, just wondering I noticed under the sponsors for PAX that Blizzard is helping to support it. Now just throwing this out there I'm sure many of you out there (any die hard Blizzard fans?) Have heard of Starcraft 2 by now. Now this might just be wishful thinking but it seems that every major con that Blizzards been at they've released a far more finished version of Starcraft 2 for Demo at the con. So? What's everyone think maybe we'll see some of Blizzards more polished game this year at PAX?

    I was about to ramble about how Blizzcon would sap us of any new announcements/material, but Blizzcon is at the beginning of the month, PAX at the end.

    We'll probably see something cool, if not necessarily new.

    I've got no problem with cool hell I'd go for a demo of stuff I've already seen just to get a feel for the game itself and how Blizzards putting it together. (And before someone starts rambling on about Starcraft players being repetitive boring people you've obviously never met me and my friends :P)

    Blizzcon (Oct 10) is about 6 weeks after PAX (Aug 29)... I wouldn't expect any big announcements or anything.

    Hopefully they'll have some pre-existing demos (Starcraft 2, WotLK) available, but I wouldn't expect any new content at PAX... just maybe a chance to see/touch some previously released previews.

    Ah, hell, you're right. I just typed "blizzcon" into my address bar, and Firefox diligently took me to last year's site; I just read the first date I saw and closed the page. :P

    Yeah, in that case, more of the same. They'll save the big guns for the fan-service-fest.

    Well no matter what they come out with I still can't wait to go on a nuking spree with those new 3D nukes along with all the other new stuff all and all even if they only use what they have now I can STILL see those lines going for miles. :P

    Blizzard Demo's
    What does the Blizzard Demo own? What is the Blizzard Demo?

    Oh, you meant Blizzard demos. My bad.

    Hey no problem I can be a grammar nazi at times to, I was just in a hurry to get this up since I had a few other things to do and I wasn't really thinking.

    Maybe you should run "apostrophe" through the spellcheck first? ;) The webspace still isn't taken, by the way.
