The reality is, I doubt any of those companies would bother spending time and $ going to a show that's not devoted entirely to games. Even if it was, do they really need another E3-type show in the U.S.? There's a reason E3 did away with having the show open to the public- it doesn't generate any $ for them.

A few years ago, there was a group that was going to do a touring consumer videogame show (I forget the name now). They even got a booth at E-3 to promote it. When I asked the E-3 people what their thoughts were, they said "If the game companies wanted to do a consumer show, don't you think they would come to us to do it?"

Makes sense.

Unfortunately, I don't see any of the shows out there getting anything more than minor support from the big game companies.

Digital Life is a consumer show and while a few big companies like MIcrosoft, Sega, Namco, and Nintendo support it it's nothing compared to E3. So I guess there already is a huge consumer show in the east.

That said I hope this show is fun. I live 5 minutes outside NYC and i'm coming down saturday. It's a shame that they want to go so big. PC5 was my first PC show and i thought it was fun as hell. Lots of arcade cabs, games to buy, and good people. I hope they don't fuck it up. Perhaps next year they'll get rid of NBC.

I really don't want a show aimed towards causals.

[Schenley]

I just ordered my table - better late than never, eh?

So, if you're going, look for me.

I'll have some working Saturns, Dreamcasts, SNES, NES, 2600 Jrs, and a whole bunch of broken consoles and controllers going for cheap!

If you want, shoot me a PM, and I'll give you my cell number if you want to try to find me at the show.

Wow, cool I, Robot. Been playing that on MAME quite a bit lately. Tempest is always sweet and it's cool that Gorf will be there too. People can compare it to the Jag version in development

Can't wait!

[Muscelli]

I will be there, I will have a nametag perhaps?

As long as there is a gamestop inside with DC games like PC 5 I will be happy!

Anyone selling model 2 saturns for cheap?

[Schenley]

Anyone selling model 2 saturns for cheap?

I've got 2 Model 1's, and 2 Model 2's - all in great condition. I forget which model is which, but one of the ones with the 'round buttons' has a mod chip in it.

I also have 4 broken Saturns that need some help.

Shoot me a PM if you're interested. I'll have a table at the show.

[Mangar]

I'll be there also.

I'm at the Jersey Shore, so you figure like an hour drive. Worth it to play arcade games, even if i fear the worst from this show.

Tholly, good stuff doesn't even begin to describe what I am bringing this year. Imagine what you saw last year. Then double it. I'm not kidding. I brought less than 10 systems last year, I have over 30 I am bringing this year. Hundreds of carts, good stuff to fill your collection, or begin a new collection with a great starter set. Everyone on DP needs to stop by my table and introduce themselves. I can't stress that enough. See everyone this weekend!

Same goes for me!

I will either have on my "Video games make me do bad things" tshirt or the PacMan Ghost with "Eat Me"

I will have tons of cheap broken stuff and a lot of it will be for free.

[Trade-N-Games]

Trade-N-Games will have a few tables at the show this year also and I am loading up on the good stuff! Cant wait to meet a few people I have delt with and make some new friends.
I supported the show this summer and no one came so please people show some support all us vendors need it.
