anyone going to E3 this year?

[NeoV]

After 9 years of attending the show for free, my admission was denied this year due to their new 'stricter' standards of letting people in the show...though I am eligible for the type 4 registration, which now costs $650!


I need an invitation!

In all seriousness though, I'm just wondering if anyone else who typically has attended was able to get in this year.

yes, but it was a pain in the ass faxing my info in. it came back "illegible" so I had to snail mail it.

 

[purbeast0]

I may be going ... still not sure. I sure as hell hope I can go.

$650 Should be worth it since only the selected haha

Maybe 10 years ago it would have been, but not now.

It's not even that. It's that it has become a public event, and nothing cool happens any more. It's basically just a big hall with some game demos. No free giveouts either.

I'm not, but my cousin is.

<-- missed going last year because he couldn't get vacation time on short notice.

I know someone who "works" for E3. Last time I talked to her she said she was working on some kinda proposition thingy for it or something.

I don't really like her very much so I didn't bother to really listen to what she was saying cause all it sounded like was her saying "I'm so awesome cause I do all these amazing thing..look at me look at me!". Blah...annoying conceited biotch. >___<

meh, americans will have their entertainment budgets slashed by high gas prices anyways

Hint: It is retardedly easy to get a free press pass to e3. It just requires a bit of creativity and a big enough set of balls to go to LA the day of the show and take the chance that they'll accept your "credentials."

Its not fort knox...its a trade show.

i've been going for the past three years and i qualified again this year..

The part I hate most is paying 20 bucks for parking.
