VGXPO fees

[Muscelli]

whats with the 25 dollar (one day) enterance fee? Last year it was free. What gives? Is there something big im missing?

Yeah, I kinda wondered that too... I guess it's cool that they'll have the arcade open all night Friday and Saturday, but $50 is more than CGE, and the same as CAX, but CAX had 400+ arcades. It may be totally worth it... the all night gaming thing sounds awesome, and opening Friday night is cool too, but to go from free to $50 is kinda a big shock. At least it won't be filled with all the consumer expo crap and the kids that got dragged along to the consumer expo though .

I guess maybe it's the end of free shows... ECGxpo is charging too now, but $15 is very reasonable IMO.

I believe if you go to the vgxpo.com site you'll see it's only $35 for the whole weekend if you pre-register and it should be well worth that. I honestly believe that this show will be THE major games event open to the public within the next year or two and the all night gaming and partying should be gi-normous. And not to be too BLUNT about it, but anybody who wants to party with a gaming fossil, please look me up, okay?

Hope to see a lot of you folks there!

Also anyone in travel range of the LA area should come on down to the Hollywood Bowl for the 9/21 Video Games Live! extravaganza. Vince Desi of Running With Scissors and I will be flying out to do the red carpet and meet & greet event. And I know Tommy T has really reached out to the "names" in the industry and should have a ton of fascinating folks on hand. Hell, it's worth the money just to meet Vince Desi, who's the coolest guy in the business. This show is a certified blast and something every gamer who gets the chance should see.
