Starcraft 2 beta keys for all Blizzcon visitors?

Details are surfacing about the fun and games that is Blizzcon 2007. Today, Blizzard announced some of the swag that you can expect when you attend this August.First up, is the revelation that every attendee will receive a beta key to "an upcoming Blizzard game." Hmm, I wonder what that game could be. Now, I'm not saying for certain that it is Starcraft 2, it may be the next WoW expansion. But I think it's a safe bet that you'll be zipping up a spacesuit and picking up a blaster bigger than your grandmother's station wagon after this convention is over.
Next up is a unique item no one expected to see. Every Blizzcon attendee will receive a special passcode. Once in-game, the passcode can be redeemed for, drumroll please, a murloc suit for one of you characters. Good for the spirited RP event or for spicing up the dragging-on-until-you-want-to-/gquit guild meeting. Maybe even handy for that next machinima piece you were brainstorming.
More swag to be announced in the future. So, what do you guys think? Is a Starcraft 2 beta key in your future?

Hrm. Murloc suit? I was really hoping for a new mount (since there's about 1,000 pets now) for attendees but maybe there will be more.
I would imagine the beta will be for Starcraft 2 but the next ex-pac will be announced also so who knows. Maybe both.

Good, because my GF will be coming with me. She doesn't play wow, but she loves live orchestras and machinima. So i'll sell you her murloc-suit game code.

I will gladly trade in my SC2 beta key for another Murloc suit code. I love it :)

I totally saw this on a fanfic site like a week in advance. Only it was a really shitty photoshop version. I don't remeber the URL but I think the site was World of Newcraft or something. It's funny to think that blizzard might have gotten thier Idea from a fanfic site. LOL!

Fuck'em and they're Blizz Con give aways. Like I'm gonna spend well over a thousand dollars just to get there to get a "free" in game item, and while you're at it take that NPC that tells you how lame you are for not having a murloc pet outta the damn game Blizz.

Remember that back in 05 they announced Burning Crusade and gave people Beta keys for it as well.
I mean if they were planning on giving out Beta keys for SC2 why not just say so? The game has already been announced, they aren't really hiding anything anymore. It's more likely they will be giving out Beta keys for whatever they announce between now and then because of the way they said it with "an upcoming blizzard game". Then again mabey they will let you choose.

I'll gladly buy someone's unused SC2 beta key (if that is, in fact, what it is)! Look me up if you're interested!
