That's good to hear. I don't mind sitting in the shittiest seat, I just want in for when MARIO KART 9 IS COMING TO PS4 happens.

That's a good point, didn't think about that..
Might park a few blocks away and just walk. I'm not looking to pay for a parking pass just to pick up my badge. :/
Any of you guys here have recommendations for parking?

You always get there earlier than I do, and I get there pretty early myself, haha.That early, if not a little before. Part of the fun of conventions, for me, is lining up early and hanging out. And PSX is no different!

Are you staying anywhere? Likely going to just walk to the convention center from our hotel the night before.
Ace Combat 7 demo at PSX is a VR mission

I would also like to know where to park. Do they have designated parking?
When the keynote ends so 11:30-12:00 ish.

ok check out this link here:

first 2 hrs are free then they charge you after, but i cant see myself spending any more than those 2 hours grabbing my badge
I hope they also announce the Ace Combat 5 remaster they asked us to vote on. Fuck, just give me a remaster of all three PS2 games, and I'd pay these bastards anything they want.
Unfortunately not. I live about an hour away so I'm driving down to the convention center the morning of. Probably should have grabbed a hotel now that I think about it but there isn't much I can do about that now lol.
I've been to the Anaheim Convention center before a couple years ago for a comic book convention and they do have convention parking. Here is the Convention Center's page about how parking works but if it's anything like last time it fills up very quickly.
Didn't even think about Downtown Disney as an option. o:
Thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely going to take advantage of that on Friday.
Will see ya'll at 'O Dark 30' for early line-up for the Showcase. Used to waiting in Comic Con lines for hours if not days, so anything below 5 hours is no problem, XD.
Oh, and I guess it's too late for the Game Awards show $10 add-on fee? Didn't see any options for it on the PSX menus...

Does anyone know which section of The Game Awards seating the $10 ticket add-on will put us in? Have a friend that wants to attend but there are two different sections >_<

I think it's just what krae_man and others used last year. I much prefer Discord myself.

Just got my e-mail from AXS for The Game Awards tickets I added on. Now to figure out how to make sure 2 other friends (one who is PSX add-on and another planning to purchase ticket this morning) will be sitting with us.
Will do!
Made my first VLOG... "ROAD TO PSX"

Mine are up in the balcony, way back. Also, if anyone would like my tickets to the game awards, send me a PM. I got the dates confused and won't be able to make the show.

There are still a few unannounced panels/meet and greets, so fingers crossed!

My plan is to go to the keynote Saturday and then split for most of the day to hang out with some non gaming friends. Plan to be at the show all day Sunday.

So just to clarify, the show floor on Saturday doesn't open until after the Showcase press conference? Just want to weigh the options for getting a seat at showcase vs getting extra time on the floor.

Were you still coming by for the meetup? I just saw your badge printing
The meet up is at night right or are we meeting up during the day too?
Show floor doesn't open until after the showcase.
There will be games announced in the showcase that are playable on the floor afterall.
Hey guys, first time attending, but just got a few questions.
I'm going with a friend, but he doesn't get off work until 730, so the earliest he can be there is around 9am.
Should I just wait for him and go with him at that time, or should I line up at that 12 midnight time they said in the blog?
Also if I do line up earlier, are the waiting conditions out in the open or inside?Wondering if I should bring a sleeping bag and/or a chair and maybe a tent.
Thanks for all replies!

I have tickets but I'm seriously considering staying home on sat and just watching the livestream. Reason being -
dont wanna wait in lines,
gotta be up early to buy some video game vinyl soundtracks
and gonna be up all friday nite anyways watching BC One.
gonna be waaaaaay too tired on sat... I just hope Parappa plushies / beanies dont sell out that day >_<

Think the badges came out pretty good...
Anyway, I'm headed RIGHT NOW down to Southern California from Silicon Valley. Really wishing I had a working aux cable to cassette tape.
Starts at 9pm Saturday night, and the place closes at midnight.
Just show up after the keynote to get your plushies!
No need to line up AT midnight lol. That's just when they will allow people to start lining up. Weather forecast is showing sunny with 0% precipitation all weekend, so it shouldn't be too bad. Just regular cold

Oh okay, are lines not that bad on PSX? Only lines I know are the Black Friday lines pre-oniine and those were brutal. The badge pickup for Sat is 7am, so coming in at around 7am is fine or is that too late for seats?

I'm not going to this, but just reading over the OP I had to laugh - why all the teen drama actors interspersed throughout the information?!

Anaheim is in Orange County. Pretty sure that's the spread from the 'hit' TV show THE OC from years past. I had quite the sensible chuckle reading through it.
Yeah I started with the Sony killing the Vita crossed with the shooting meme and just went from there:lol

Don't forget Housewives of Orange County. I live here and yup it's totally like that if you go to the ultra high end mall in costa mesa. Lots of plastic surgery and fake boobies.

As something I really want to try, I will be stopping by there, maybe I'll see you!

What do I need to pick up the pass tomorrow?
Confirmation number and photo ID.
I have also heard Persona 5 and Yakuza 0. They have shown The Last Guardian and Platinum Trophy card. I have also heard Horizon Zero Dawn (but that seems like a no brainer) as well as GT Sport.
I guess there will be one for showcase and some for panels.
Also, David Jaffe is coming for Meet and Greets.

So, what time are you guys planning on lining up? Gonna be in Anaheim with a buddy tomorrow during the early afternoon, gonna pick up the badges, then chill out getting ready for the big day. Thinking of lining up close to midnight.
