E3 06: E3 Expo tweaks Day One hours, access

too early e3

E3 is always great and GameSpot's coverage is top notch. I wouldn't see myself going to L.A. to attend it though, too much people.

Wait E3 is going to be in may. May is the last month of spring Sony promised the PS3 will be released in spring of 2006. That means that Sony will almost undoubtably have playable ps3 demos at e3. Yay.

Boooo

I guess that when E3 makes it's way around I know I won't miss a minute. E3 is awesome, gamespot better keep up with the coverage. I don't want to miss anything.

wooo go e3 more g spot coverage i hope

I hope HALO 3 makes an appearance! Even a new Grand Theft Auto or Max Payne would be sweet.

It's time to make up a fake game news site and pretend to be press.

If you work at a game only retailer (GameStop/EB, Gamecrazy..etc) you can get in. I went for the past two years..its a blast. You do miss alot of stuff though, thats why this site is so good. You always score something cool to add to your collection there as well. I got the LoZ:TP DS movie last year. Bought it off a press guy for $10. So go to a gamestop...their hiring holiday help, and if you do alright they will usually keep you on. Easy way to get into E3

I went last year,easiest way to get in is...work for a gaming company,no matter how lack-luster the job is you'll get a badge,of course my job testing games is pretty fun.

I Can't wait till the next E3!

well i think E3 2006 will be a good one can't wait to see what on show..

:( I'm in Russian federation... I can't see E3 anyway... :(

Wait what are the requirements to get into e3? I recently moved to California so getting to E3 won't be a problem I just need to know how to get in.

As tris said, this is really great news for the press members. While alot of people might think of this as "special treatment" or unfair to the common E3 folk, you have to consider that E3 was intended to be a press event. I went last year as a member of the press, and I can honestly say that it was hell trying to get anything done with the insanely long lines and the rabid fan boys/ ebayers who were trying to get their free E3 garb. As a gamer, I totally understand their rabidness for goodies, but now that I am press as well, I understand how hard it is to accomplish anything when people are pushing and shoving. I really feel that this next year's e3 is going to be much better than last, simply because the focus will be on the games and not the hardware.

wow...it's already that time of year again...and just yesterday I thought it was December 12th, about 6 months away from E3...ah yes the holidays

As somebody who has attended the last four E3's, this is GREAT news. Since I got in with a media badge I was hoping that there would be a full day of media-only, but an extra hour is good enough for me. :)

I just hope that whatever they'll do the day of the openin has to do with the PS3, thats all I need to know. Sony owns ur arse ^^

should be nice for the peeps like Gamespot to not have to shove their way through opening crowds.

the TGS idea of making it open to public in a day is really cool,i wish E3 made the some at least for one day.

wait....does that mean i cant pre register if im not in the media?

I live in pennsylvania. I never get to join the fun. Got to stream everything from the best site ever.Gamespot....GO STEELERS!...

Getting into E3 is a lot easier than it seems. You can write an article for your college newspaper about video games and get in. It's the plane ticket and hotel that are the hard part. :-P

Does working at GameStop count? >_>

I know what you mean - G.A.M.E was meant for those of us who really can't get into E3 because of all the restrictions and what not they have there. However, so long as we have to the footage, I figure we'll be alright. :D

I think you get more information from here at home personally. Less interference too.

as long as Gamespot gets in :P

Yeah, I'd like to preregister. Who am I with? Um, CNN? No wait- did I say CNN? I MENT... CMN? ... I'm not gettin' in, am I?

That is why and event like G.A.M.E. is so cool...it is all about the little people.

Media, huh? Okay.
