the idea is out there. if they were to do it i would expect most major game sites would report it. since it'll be held around june (or july?) i would expect some news prob. at the game developers conference in march.

E3 has lost most of its luster. Opening to the public is probably a few years too late. There were plenty of nobody game store employees and other people that could only be called "insiders" by the broadest of definitions during the years I went (2003-2005).

keep in mind that E3 is a ESA sponsored show and many publishers have pulled out of the ESA. SO it may in fact be a lack luster show this year.

Fill in any registration forms that come with games - back in 1996/97 Tecmo sent me tickets for Atlanta's E3, thankfully I lived only a couple hours away at the time.

Good luck. I went to E3 a couple of years ago in LA (the last "big" one). Even if it's 50% of what it was in the past, it'll still be quite a show and madhouse.

The correct answer is PAX tickets, not E3.

that's cool. i went to the first one in LA back in 1995 with a friend of mine, it was actually pretty cool. that was when (don't laugh) Virtual Boy debuted, the "Ultra" 64 was a no show, and the talk of the show was Killer Instinct for the SNES. and yes, i still have my copy of the Killer Cuts CD that came with the game, HUMILIATION!
and not for nothing, but the adult section of the show was pretty good too...

no
....but there may be a back door...
"CES is open to 18+ and are involved in the industry (its not open to the public) however anyone with a printer can make business cards saying that you are from "Sunny's Home Theaters " and you can get in." -source: a different forum
heres the registration:

but at this time it would cost $200 to enter.
you may be better off waiting till next year, as registering before the 31st of October is free. here the main site:

seconded. Even if this isn't what your brother asked for, this has become the new E3 for several years now. It is what E3 was like in its prime if not better.

I went to E3: 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006.
It was heartbreaking when they shot it in the head for 2007... I'm going to go back this year and hope it picks up again.
I do agree that PAX would be a much better time for your brother. E3 is where you do business, not so much for the public.
