E3 worth going to?

[sqlagent]

Hi,

I'm a video game fan and was wondering if anyone ever had experience going to E3.

Is it fun?

Thanks

fun like you get to play a lot of games and get freebies.

Or is it just like a business thing where people try to sell you stuff

Well i never been there but i heard you can play a lot of games but i never heard you can get freebies.

You do get freebies (well the tickets make up for it). The best way to describe it is...

it's like going to six flags (or a big fair). You get first hands on a lot of upcoming games but like any really cool rollercoasters, you also get to do the lines and wait a whole lot.

And that's the media version...not sure about the public.

That said, I'm sure if you go with friends (or make some over there) and just enjoy E3 for what it is...then it'd be worth it. Just don't take it as a free for all arcade because you'll be quite disappointed.

Thanks Alex!

I do plan on going with Friends. We want to go to both E3 and Blizzcon (if they have one this year). I can imagine the lines will be long.

I think I would love to be able to play games I understand its not like a free arcade lol. It'll be cool to see new stuff too.

Thanks again.
