3DO ZONE Forums

Anyone here plan on attending?

They had a pretty good size show last time I went (2007) and I plan on making the trip out there again this year.

Would be great to run into some of you guys if you are going to be out there.

Do I dare ask what the first would be?

You get to the last thing quick in Vegas. And the first thing is over-rated.

actualy i have no clue as ive never been there before, but i can say videogames would be the last thing on my mind (unless i was going there for that reason only which would never ever happen)

I'd really like to come out to it, but it's all the way across the country for me.

As you might expect, it has quite a bit to offer.
An area dedicated to arcade cabs (which you can play) - a video game museum - booths and tables with all kinds of items for sale - raffles - speeches from big names in the video game industry - areas set up for trading - etc. etc. etc.
All of this spanned multiple rooms.

One of the reasons I went in 2007 was to pick up my order of 3DO games from Oldergames in person, as they had a booth at that show.
If you picked them up in person you were supposed to be reimbursed shipping on your order. Needless to say, that never happened.

Heh, I read you.

I go to Vegas 3 or 4 times a year for business/play so the novelty isn't quite the same.
If it were my first time going I probably wouldn't be interested in a retro gaming show either.
