Mark your calendar for E3 2006
May 10-12, 2006
Los Angeles, CA

Was curious to see if they had dates yet on offical site so I could figure out way go 06 one with plenty time,sure enough it posted. Is this earliest it ever been or was there E3 before around 12th?

Bollocks. I should have bought the year's subscription to Insider after all...

 

[demi]

I really want to go.

This time we'll start a "GAF DRINKING PARTY" fund a month or so beforehand and the goal will totally be like 600 dollars, so we can drink ourselves silly!

I'm probably going next year.

So, if you're not press, what's the best way to get into E3? I'd definitely be interested in going...

Fuck it lets all go to TGS. Its cheaper and you dont have to be press to go check it out. I'm up for that and i'm currently finding a way to go to E3 in 06.

I can set up a GAF meet at the Cabo Cantina, fully sponsored by Phantom.

Don't even bother. You will not get in.

I think all we need is to make sure it's Sony who's sponsoring the party and not Nintendo! :lol

I'm gonna send a couple of staffers to go in 2006, not going myself though.

Didn't they have something this year where the public could buy super overpriced tickets to get in?

They still do, but if you want to go spend money and be a fool, go right ahead. The ESA thanks you in advance.

Dammit. I just checked and it falls on Finals week at my school.

So much for finals.

As soon as i can get to T, i'll be sure to make it to the GS there.

Well, it'd be something like a once in a lifetime event for me (and several of my friends who also are really interested). I work in a completely different industry (although it's one with subtle ties to the games industry) so being press is totally not an option. I could always not go, but that would defeat the whole point, so I don't really mind spending money (unless it's ridiculously overpriced...)

 

[madara]

Aye and you dont really get to see E3 with the retail badge anyway. That why I trying to find more creative way to get some help/sponsorship so get back in habit of E3 since took 5 year leave. But I have full year figure that out, though I would like to book the hotel early. Maybe being assistant with photos, gear or something,etc. Partying and drinking that substracts from job would not be issue for me. Anyway I was just pointing out it seems earliest E3 yet.

 

[Ecrofirt]

that's early enough that I don't think finals will be over this time
GODDAMN YOU EEE!!!

Fri-Fri May 5 - 12 Final Examinations
Residence halls close at 6:00 p.m.

djtiesto, If I'm not mistaken, its fairly easy to fake your way into E3. Just start some cheesy GeoCities-esque gaming "news" site or something.

I've never been to E3 personally, but all I ever hear is people complain about fat 13 year old Nintendo fans literally running into each other for some lame freebie.
