Anyone else here going to E3 this year? I was thinking we could have a night out at the City Walk or something, or coordinate something for the Hot Deals folks if there are any good show-only deals (though the deals last year were terrible)...

I dunno if I can find anyone godlike enough to hook me up with tix this year.. and I certainly don't feel like shelling out $200 for an exhibits only pass.

Sooo...if anyone has extra passes I can try to make it worth their while.....*hint hint, nudge nudge*

My friend owns a arcade shop. And he does import/export of coin up arcade machine from Japan.

He has hired me for a penny and gave me a title as CFO just so I may attend E3.

My GF will be Marketing Director.

Ooooh, Blindman, me too!

Actually, a few students from UMich might be going.....I had tickets last year, but the timing was bad. I hope I can go this year........

It'd be cool to have an AT effect at E3 tho. :)

last year the emphasis on the show was the new consoles, but this year should be evenly focused....I would imagine Doom 3 , or whatever they are calling it, will be shown in some form, and will be one of the most talked about parts of the show...I would also guess that UT 2003 will be playable...

as for Duke Nukem Forever, Team Fortress 2, and heck, why not Prey, .......ok, just kidding about Prey, but those two should be there in some form..

the show really is great fun...I am sad to hear that the GOD lot accross the street will not be there this year, that was a great place to get free lunch, some t-shirts, and look at some really strange people, and some hotties too!

Guys, if you work for a company that has anything at all to do with retail, you can probably get in....go to www.e3expo.com, download the registration form, and choose option 5, free, exhibits only....you will need to provide 2 pieces that prove you work for who you say you do, like a paycheck stub, W2, insurance card, etc...and send copies of those two along with your application.......HURRY though, the deadline for the free passes is April 12th, and after that it will cost you $200 to get in......

New this year are the show days...in the past it has been Thurs, Fri, Sat...this year it is Wed, Thurs, Fri...

Airline tickets to LA are getting more expensive for those dates, so again, hurry up if you want to go! There are E3 discounts available on United and Delta airlines, as well as discounts at a number of LA area hotels....I like to stay up north near Universal Studios...you don't need to get a car, they have shuttles from most of the hotels to the show every 15 minutes...


You really have to see it to believe it, reading about it doesn't do it justice...

I might be going. A friend is going and he might be hooking me up with a pass. He has a friend who worked on Lucas Arts webpage or something, and they will buy him some tickets (he also got Jedi Knight II for free), and I might be getting one.

I hope.

Damn, I think I can actually apply to get tickets, except a.) I'm under 18, and b.) I live across the US from California. Oh well :(

We still don't know if we're going.....a group of programmers from UM. We've been talking about it nonstop these last few days. Hopefully we can all gets tickets (5 or 6), and we're planning the hotel and flight details right now.

I've waited so long to go............<drooooooool.....>
