E3 Badges!

My press badge just came in the mail today. So ugly when compared to last years. Pure white with a thin gold line across the top, and of course the E3 logo.

Probably, but that doesn't surprise me. They are usually people in front of the Halls eyeing cards to see if they're legit.
 
They've been doing the UV reflective "watermark" since 2002, ever since some militants got the idea to fly a couple airplanes into a skyscraper. I guess the ink is supposed to prevent people from counterfeiting the badges and thus from bringing in a bomb.

Of course, they scan that right at the inner entrances to the halls, so by then, you're already close enough to take down the whole LACC. (That's why there are blue UV lights mounted on the doors, to make the ink visible to the door people).

And according to an interview on Gamedaily, it has glow-in-the-dark ink on it now? (Might be an ultraviolet light thing.)

They did last year too I believe.

You can't post new topics with a Green badge.

So a green badge is a E3 junior member?

Hmmm....right......

Hey, whatever gets me in free is fine with me.
 
Has anyone in Japan gotten theirs yet?

Aside from my biz card and a magazine ad, I sent photocopies of my insurance card and paystubs. Of course, they are totally in Japanese and my name is in katakana so I live in fear that whoever does the "checking" will be like "AH CAIN'T READ THIS DUR HUR" and throw it into the circular file.
 
I finally got my press pass "confirmed" today, so I'll still have to wait for it in the mail (shouldn't take too long since I'm in the same state). Damn people took their time, I sent my stuff way back in March.
