Epic Blizzard Swag Get!
Posted by Kotaku US Edition at 6:00 PM on June 28, 2008
by Lesley Smith
As is expected with Blizzard events, company employees were handing out the much-prized (and instantly eBayable) Goody Bags. The swish mini backpack emblazoned with the WWI logo includes a host of loot, including an in-game pet (which we've not yet been able to redeem in Booty Bay), the Beta key, a programme, a figure from the Upper Deck miniature game, a notebook and a mousemat sporting the event's banner featuring Arthas as well as characters from Diablo and Starcraft II.
We'll let you know what the pet is as soon as Landro Longshot makes nice and starts talking about the WWI.

Wish I was there. I'd love to go to a con like this. Any change of a contest for the swag bag?

@Mike Fahey: What! Sega gives away Sonic swag? Next you'll tell me such outrageous lies as: Nintendo gives away Mario Swag and Bungie gives away Halo swag!

@kidko: Yes! How strange that a company would represent one of their biggest properties on their swag! What's next, Sega handing out Sonic merchandise at a Sega event?

@ifalldownstairs: Its a common symptom wich is commonly referred to as DiabloCrackism where one will shun aside any one or thing that doesnt offer its dose of Diablo crack, you musnt prosecute him but embrace his disease. The key to a cure is awareness. or Diablo III WOOT!... I seemed to have been infected...

I'm positive Blizzard are going to make a Diablo 3 announcement...
GamingSteve confirmed it and if you check the images that appear on the intro page, it all leads to an announcement.
