Clarion is super close to the convention center and has rooms for $79 a night, the closest you can get unless you want to pay $150-$300 a night for the Hilton or the or the Marriot. Stayed in the Hilton last year and it's great because the entrance to where you line up for the key note is between the two hotels. Clarion is a little further down the walkway.

Already?
I stayed there last year it was fine. Nothing special, but works if you just need a decent bed.
Only bad thing was their Simpsons Arcade cabinet was in terrible condition. All dinged up and terrible screen burn in.

Yeah, I only plan on staying there to sleep. I stayed at the Hilton last year which was great because I could easily go to my room to use the bathroom when I waited in line for the keynote sometime around 2AM. However, the Hilton is sitting at $150 a night and over $550 for 3 nights and I can't justify the price difference as the Clarion only cost $325.
How were your seats?
That was one of Sony's best conferences IMO. Only negatives was the COD and Destiny stuff.
This might be the last vacation of the year I need to bite the bullet. I've never been to California and want an excuse to go out there. How is Anaheim in terms of cool stuff to see and food scene? I don't have my license so a rental car would out of the question unless I get it ASAP.
Last two years I have gone we lined up around 5-5:30. Got into the presser fine. Had decent seats not too close to front but close enough to fully enjoy it.

I mean it's just one game of the many already announced. I'm sure it will definitely be at E3 2018 (if it misses PSX) since a few of Sony's first party games are going to be released by then.

Hotel booked, got tickets to attend the VGAs as well since it's the same week as PSX, and will book flight once my wife returns from her business trip.
Can't wait to see everyone again! I hope some of you can make the VGAs as well!

I went last year and had a blast
There's a decent amount of food nearby (though you won't have much time if you're at the show). There's Disneyland right across the street. There's an amazing italian ice place (Joe's?). There are a lot of awesome food trucks outside of the convention center during the show
Fly into John Wayne and Uber around, if you're planning on just staying in the area you'll spend less than 50 bucks on cab fare
I'm planning on going again this year but we'll see where we're at when it gets a bit closer

I was able to book into Hotel Indigo, a good walk away from the convention center (15-20).
Anyone who has been there have any opinions for it?

I think it gets you into the finals which are held there. I wonder if top 32 will start at esports arena like last year.
also: ticket bought.

from a culinary perspective there are lots of options around the disneyland area.
also downtown fullerton has many options to get your grub on.
the oc in general has tons of stuff to see and do

Edit: somehow read this as PAX and saw Kraeman and got confused.
Of course.

Hey Xenorevlis...I've always loved you...

That's my prediction for this year's 'showcase' game that gets a panel.
The fall back would be God of War but that's way less exciting and much more safe.

PlayStation events are always the most fun. I feel like they tend to deliver bigger announcements than MS or Nintendo. I don't care if it's a long time away, looking forward to the surprise announcements.

Yup having been to E3 now I definitely felt that PSX is the way more fun event. Looking forward to it.

Just bought my ticket. Decided on going since I only live about an hour away from Anaheim. First time going to any sort of convention so I'm excited!
Good to know! Thanks for the response. On a conservative budget, I'd be looking at $500 for the trip factoring in travel costs and hostel fees. I have some thinking to do. Funny enough, Dave Lang talked about his Disneyland trip there on his podcast this week because he was in California for business.
You're in for a treat. I went on a whim last year and ended up having a blast.

Just got an email they are doing 20$ add on tickets for the VGAs now.
Wish they did this the day they put the other tickets up for sale, since I already bought 2 VGA tickets

So it seems like they're going back to the format from two years ago and having Capcom Cup on Sunday, but they haven't specified the times anywhere. Since it could potentially end late at night, I don't know if I should bother buying a plane ticket or if I should just drive down for the flexibility.
I wish they'd hurry up and release a complete schedule so people can plan ahead for this kind of thing.

Probably a marketing exclusive
Looks like early birds are sold out:
I wonder how many were available.
Bleh. Was looking for an excuse to go to California again before the end of the year and was going to couple this into the trip. For some reason, not being able to get the early bird tickets turns me off from attending.
PSX is a ton of fun. Don't let this discourage you. It's only a $10 difference. Don't let missing the Friday thing whatever it ends up being be a deal breaker.
