Is it best to hype an aging game by employing an aging singer? I know that blizz has a lot of games out there and a lot of new ones in the pipe, but still.

I mean Blizzard never did a game before and will never do one again in the future, right?

If people pay this price then it just shows nothing seems to be wrong with it. Calling a company greedy is somewhat funny :S.

I worked the last Ozzy show when he was here. Half his monitors we're synthisizers, the rest regular shit, he also had a kareoke screen infront of him showing his lyrics to him and he stood in one spot all night in a track suit doing weird workout moves. Haha anyways it's still Ozzy! \m/

I saw Ozzy in the front row in Providence RI around 1986 (Ultimate Sin tour). He was old back then, can he even sing anymore? The show was great, but that was 20 some odd years ago :p

He was very funny. I also liked his show on TV. Ozzy's music was before my time but he is a good person to close out Blizzcon.

OP said Ozzy was the reason for the pay per view. Was Ozzy at Blizzcon last year? Any excuse is a good one to some people. I thnk the headliner last year was a polar bear mount.

I thnk the headliner last year was a polar bear mount. Nope ozzy wasn't at blizzcon last year but they had some awesome comedians, they had the PPV thing last year too, this year it should be better, they set this up because too many want to go to blizzcon and there isn't enough room. I decided to stay home this year, even though blizzcon will be even bigger. It was fun as hell the last 2 times i went though.

It's amazing really. You see him shambling about and mumbling everything normally, but when he gets on stage and that mic is in front of him, he's 20 years younger and his voice is clear and strong.
