Organizers of the event today announced that booth space for the show is completely sold out now, with a lineup of exhibitors featuring Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Ubisoft. While the show has its roots in the game-centric Web comic Penny Arcade, it touches on a number of tangentially related fields, such as tabletop board gaming and pen-and-paper role-playing games.
In addition to game publishers' booths, the show will also feature concerts from such artists as Jonathan Coulton and Freezepop, tournaments, contests, and game-related discussion panels. This year's keynote address will be delivered by actor Will Wheaton, best known as Ensign Wesley Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
PAX is set to take place August 24-26, with three-day passes available for $45 in advance. Last year's event attracted more than 19,000 attendees. For more on the show, visit the event's official Web site.
