PC users can expect a new GPU to bring higher frame rates, more spectacular graphics--and, for lucky Nvidia customers, a trip to Blizzcon 2009. The graphics card manufacturer is offering an all-expenses-paid trip to Blizzard's annual convention for fans of the Warcraft, Starcraft, and Diablo franchises. That's right: Instead of just playing WoW on your new GPU, you can meet the game's developers.
The contest is open to all buyers of the GeForce 9600 GT, 9800 GT, 9800 GTX+, and GTS 250 chipsets. In addition, the same code that enters you in the contest can be used to download a free 30-day trial of World of Warcraft Classic.
The contest ends at midnight on August 1st. To enter, check out Nvidia's official site here.

I'm thinking of upgrading to GeForce 9600 GT 512MB but...does my budget fits in? I'd better check first my spreadsheet of expenses to see if it's possible to shell out the amount. Hopefully I can (keeping my fingers crossed) so that I can join the contest and win! :)

My only curiosity here - why are NVidia's highest-end cards, like the 26x, 27x, and 28x chipsets not included? Do they figure that if you're willing to blow hundreds on a high-end card you may as well pay your own way to Blizzcon? ;)
