Diablo 3 Playable @ Gamescom 2009 Germany – Cologne

Hey,
(since my planned showact on the Gamescom wasn’t approved after all )
I intended to follow the Blizzcon on DirecTV instead which happens to be at the very same time!

My question now:
Is it worth to screw following the Blizzcon and head to Gamescom instead (e.g. if Diablo3 is playable, if there are Blizzard employees like Jay, Bashiok, … ) ?

Please reply as soon as possible, so I (and probably many other people) can start planning their schedule!

Thanks and greetings

PS: Sorry for yet another gamescom thread

“Upcoming games” isn’t broken down to specifics, but StarCraft 2 and Diablo III are both upcoming games, so draw your own conclusions.

Q u o t e:
How are you going to be there and at Blizzcon at the same time?

I have a twin brother.
