Be sure to post pics guys. Wish I could go but I just came back from Florida with family and funds ain't together. Hopefully this blows up enough to be a semi anual event. It's really what I hope for. Then I can go. :) And We'd get more events and more info. Just relying on e3 is retarded.

How do you nab these cards? Simple: Go play some games. We’re not revealing which booths or events will be giving them away, but you’ll find out just by exploring the show floor (or by asking for a little help from fellow attendees). As for tracking down those rare cards, you’ll have to figure that out on your own as well. Just make sure to look in your gift bag for a free tuckbox to store your new deck in!

But there’s another, secret layer to this collectible game that we can’t reveal just yet. Let’s just say that you’ll want to poke your head in every corner of the Moscone West hall to unearth more precious collectibles. Stay tuned for more details.

Please note: All PlayStation Collectible Cards are in limited supply. Once they’re gone, they’re gone

Details still to be confirmed. Will be Saturday evening.

Tentative location: Golden Gate Taproom 10:30pm ish.

hZeJOOK.jpg


The convention ends at 10pm and will likely be a concert again. We can group up as the hall closes somewhere on site(for those who won't need to make a pit stop at their hotel first) then walk over.

*Location and time subject to change*

We'll meet up somewhere close to the convention center, have a drink(with our without alcohol, we don't judge here) or eat and talk about all the megatons announced at the keynote(Half Life 3 Vita Exclusive, Crash 4 Playstation VR exclusive, Lee Carvallo in Hot Shots PS4 etc), and what we played on the show floor.

If you haven't been to a NeoGAF meetup before, you should come. We always have a good time. Don't be shy, we won't bite.

Xenorevlis has graciously decided to provide us with Official NeoGAF Meetup Lanyards for all who attend:

If you plan on attending, sign up here(quote to see link)


Sign up list so far(quote to see link):


Note: The deadline to sign up and receive a lanyard is Thursday November 26th(Thanksgiving). You can still come to the meetup without signing up for it(or signing up late), but signups after Nov 26th may not get a lanyard.

I have a Line group started as well. Join it to keep up to date on meetup related happenings. If we end up having a last minute venue change or you are having trouble finding us etc. I'll try and keep updating the thread but I think the Line app will work better.

Quote to see line link(note apparently link works better if clicked via mobile as opposed to on PC)

-Snacks and Water. You're going to be waiting in line a lot to get into your favorite panels and to try the lateset games. It always helps to have snacks and beverages so you don't have to decide between waiting in line for food or going to another panel/playing another game.

-Handheld game systems. Bring your Vita and play some games with your fellow Playstation fans while in line.

-Something to sit on. The floor can be hard on the old backside. Bring a cushon with you, or for elite level line waiting, bring a slacker stool.

-A easy to carry bag. You're going to need it for all the above, plus the swag you'll get. Don't go overboard though as you will have to carry everything with you all day. You're not backpacking across Europe. Some people bring poster tubes to keep posters they acquire in good condition.

-Your cellphone battery will not last. Conventions are murder on your battery. I strongly recommend investing in a external battery pack of some kind.

-How long should you wait in line for a panel? No idea, this convention is brand new. I'd get in line early for the keynote. Everything else? 30 minutes will probably suffice if PAX is any indication. But again, new event so hard to say.

-Get your sleep. you probably don't need the full 8 hours, but you don't want to be getting back to your hotel room at 4am and then waking up at 7 so you can be near the front of the line for when the convention center opens at 10am the next day.

-You might not be able to see/do everything. Pick your priorities and wait it out.

-Go to the GAF meetup/other meetups. My favorite part of conventions is meeting people I've been chatting online with for years. If you take the chance and do it, It'll become yours too. Doesn't have to be GAF. Are you part of a subreddit that is having a meetup at the convention? a Playstaiton Fansite etc? Consider attending them.

-Have Fun

Heads up, not sure if this is a local deal, but I thought I saw 2 day tickets for $50 on Groupon. Wish I could move my 1 day pass to it =/
 
Wristband pickups start Thursday at the Venetian so here's hoping I can snag a program guide as well. Don't want to be running around like a maniac trying to find stuff.

Looks like only a few from GAF are going and I've started to see a lot of free tickets given out. I was expecting more GAF attendees with all the interest in the conference.

I'm thinking now maybe 9:00 AM will be early enough.

Seems like everyone is interested in the hype train instead of going. Sony didn't do themselves any favors putting it on sale so late. You need to give more notice if you expect people to travel, especially for a new event. PAX South went on sale 6 months out for example.

I'm definitely going on Saturday. I'll be attending the event. Wife is coming on the trip but she'll gambling all day. Would love to meet up with any gaffers at the event on Saturday!

Yeah, I might have gone to the awards show on Friday but I believe they announced the date/time so late I'd already gotten my plane tickets where I don't arrive until late.
 
Getting in late Friday. Any other GAF MVPs here going?

As far as a venue, once we get a rough head count of who's showing it will be easier to pick a place.
 
Looks like the perfect event to present a FFXV English trailer

I'm seriously excited about this event, hopefully the Vita will get some love, they said it will be there "in full force", I hope it's not yet another bluff

Hmmm. I still have time to plan and go to this, but I live in the SF Bay area and it would be like a 9 hour drive each way. Is this going to be awesome? Are people carpooling from NorCal by any chance?

I'll be at the expo both days. I planned on arriving around 9:30AM on Saturday for the keynote, but after reading some posts I think I'll make it a bit earlier. I'll be flying solo so I'm up to hang out.

So envious I cannot go!!!

Looking to all you fellow gaffers to keep us informed on all the best news!

Urgent Fury is giving away 150 free tickets, I believe you get a pair and its 2 day passes. Obviously don't be a dick and sign up if you don't plan on actually going.
http://www.urgentfury.com/topic/27928-free-playstation-experience-tickets-by-the-pair/

Boogie is also giving away 100
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1fAh03H4VCl1YxTC4mebZgUd5W_Lneb6rOVoLTvG1NMY/viewform?c=0&w=1

so yeah I think its not gonna be too hard to get in. I regret buying my pass now :(

Unavoidable when you paper. Getting people to show up with free tickets isn't easy.
 
Count me in! Flying in late Thursday night. I am going to take all day Friday to enjoy the sights and sounds of Vegas, as I've never been. I'll be there all weekend, flying out Monday morning.

I do hope Sony unveils the map and schedule of panels soon.

Driving down on Friday morning from SoCal. I will be at both the Game Awards and PlayStation Experience. I can't wait!
 
Me and my wife are so hype for this conference! She especially wants to see what Doublefine has at their booth.

Gonna pick up our wristbands on Friday.

There's also that limited edition 20th anniversary PS4. Rumor is they will reveal how to acquire it during the keynote.

Here's hoping for "you get a PS4, and you and you"

Ah well one can dream.
