Can you afford to goto E3

Hey yall,

So E3 is open to the public again for the second time in a row ( If this sounds like news to you; it was news to me too that E3 was actually open to the public) But yes you the average game can get tickets to E3 for the low price of $150 pre-sale which start February 13 or $250 after some predetermined date. Also don't wait long kids because there are only 15,000 tickets. Would you goto E3 and see all the magic of gaming or are you comfortable sitting on your couch enjoying the experience?

Me personally I would go just to say I went once then never go again. It's rare these days I've seen anything at E3 that was a must see or even a must own. But hey yall could be different.

Yes, but I absolutely would not want to. I prefer to let the journalists go stand in line for 8 hours to play 5 minutes of the new Zelda.

Very much so. Standing in line to play games we will be able to play at a later date doesn't sound appealing to me. Sitting in on panel discussions would be cool though. Factor in the price of airfare, hotel, it's not worth it. I'd rather spend that kind of money and goto NAMM instead.

Nah, unfortunately. I'm saving for ACEN, an anime convention in Illinois.

It doesn't seem expensive. But I'd rather go on a vacation. >=,]

If I had VIP access and could play behind closed doors with no lines ? Sure. But otherwise, no. I don't even watch E3 much in recent years. Just catch up on the announcements later for the most part.

But anyways, I live on the east coast. If I'm going to spend a ton of money traveling to the west coast. I rather do other things with my time.

Booth chicks, elaborate promo sets, free stuff, and playing games that aren't even out. Yeah sign me up :P I rather go now before I get too old. I went last year and had a blast. Its only a 10 mile drive for me and I work weekends, so why not.
