Wow, I've never seen my name (or abreviated nickname, in truth) used so much in one thread! :)
The standard Exhibiton-only pass for this year's E3 is $275. It climbed another $75 since last year, and that was bad enough. I don't think there is any chance I'll be going this year. I can't afford even the pass this year, let alone everything else. And on top of that, this year it turns out E3 is during my finals week, so I'm doomed there too. Oh, and just in case anybody doesn't know, it is strictly 18+, they do check ID.
I don't really think making a front news page is necessary. You can get a free pass if they consider you commercial media (!fansite), but they are extremely strict about that.
I hope you guys can go sometime. It is an amazing experience that every real gamer should have at least once. It's too bad most of the media don't know as much about gaming as you guys do.
If you really need a free pass, get hired by PGC. They are looking for somebody new.
