I thought they changed it so only press, gaming industry, entertainment industry, and vendors can attend. I thought it was closed to the general public, now.
I thought they re-opened it to the general public a few years ago?
They might have, I don't know. I just thought I had heard it wasn't for the general public anymore.
I've never been to a gaming convention of any kind. I would so love to go, if I could.
But I have been to a large comic-convention called WonderCon, in San Francisco. Supposedly it's the 2nd biggest one after San-Diego Comic-Con. And while it was way too crowded for it's own good, it was very fun. Lots of celebrities, lots of creator interviews, lots of cos-players, we got a free preview of a movie before it was released, I got lots of stuff signed, and so much swag to drool over.
If you have the opportunity to go, I say go for it. In a heartbeat. WonderCon was a lifetime experience I will NEVER forget. And I'm sure E3 is similar.
