It's still early in the morning here at the Anaheim Convention Center in California, yet at the time this post goes live BlizzCon 2009 should offfically be open for business as the exhibit hall floor is scheduled to open at 10 am PT. Big Download went to pick up our press badge (and our BlizzCon goody bag) and saw massively lines waiting to get into the convention center.

Badge pick up is actually pretty smooth for all concerned; Blizzard certainly knows how to handle the huge crowd that has pre-registered for the event. We even found a few folks already in costume as you can see from the picture above. Stay tuned as we will be covering the big opening ceremonies at BlizzCon later today. And if you want to see coverage of all of our sister sites (WoW.com, Massively and Joystiq) head over to the WoW.com BlizzCon 2009 page
