I don’t pretend to know a whole lot about World of Warcraft but I do know that riding a polar bear is awesome, so I can understand why the limited edition polar bear mount being given to BlizzCon attendees would be a desirable item. But BlizzCon sold out in about five minutes and is being held all the way in southern California. Is there any hope of getting your very own polar bear now?

As it turns out there is. Not only can all you diehard WoW, Diablo and Starcraft players watch BlizzCon live on DirecTV, if you order the package you get the same majestic polar bear as the people who paid for airfare and a hotel.

If you already have DirecTV the BlizzCon coverage costs $39.95, but it’s free to new subscribers. So if you’ve been considering DirecTV for other football-related reasons and also dabble in gaming you can kill two proverbial birds with one proverbial stone.
