Yikes - I get into Oakland at 8:20 and have to rely on BART. I'm hoping to catch part of the keynote.

Oh perfect perfect. Can't wait yo. Last year's PSX featured debut UC4 gameplay footage, demoed live by Sir Bruce Strayley, can't wait for this year's surprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13ZtY3aK5U0

Quick, make an outrage thread! Sony just wants our money! Damn them!
Thats part of it. A very small part. The Schwag, the community of people who love what you do, meeting the people who make the things you love so much. Its not just playing demos.
Some are paying hundreds/thousand+ after u factor in flight and hotel

We also get stuff. Shirts, hats, posters. I got a Vita game last year.
Kinda but I see it more like $70 to meet devs, play demos, hang out with some Gaffers and gain some XP. I just love it though. Also gives an excuse to party in another state.

If we skip out on the keynote can we just walk around the floor and play demos before it gets crazy??
DaveTheSnake

The floor opens after the keynote ends.
Show floor doesn't open until after the keynote is over. So around 12pm.

Some people pay $70 to walk around dressed like my little pony with other people dressed like my little pony. Am i missing the part where paying money to entertain your hobbies is fundamentally stupid?
Someone said that it doesn't open till 12?
I poked my head into the show room and they still have a loooong ways to go in setting up.

Oh Okay, thank you. That's good to know. We better leave earlier then so we make it to the keynote. Coming out from the Valley. I better check the BART times. Don't really want to worry about parking
Family is forever, SF Psx is not. Ch00se wisely m8.
Have you been to a video game convention before?
I'm mostly going because this seems like a once in a lifetime thing for me.

I wonder how the PS VR demos will be. I reserved time to try it out. I missed out on the rigs demo, but got the other. Do we get to pick which game we try?

Why isn't there any info on the press conference in the OP? It's in what everyone here is interested.
Unless you're dying sometime soon, gaming conventions aren't very hard to come by man :/

I'm coming from Turlock. Leaving around 5ish, to get on Bart around 6ish.

Whew that's damn early. I better head to bed soon, so I'm not a zombie in the morning. I'm pumped up though, not too sleepy

It's about 2 hours travel time give or take. I hate feeling rushed, so I'd rather have plenty of time to get there
This is like the first public gaming convention in San Francisco. I'm not traveling just to go to one.
I guess there was Twitchcon but this was announced first.
SonicKnights

Twitchcon was announced back in what April? PSX in SF was announced in Aug.
The thread was created way before the official press conference was announced. This thread is just mostly for those attending to gather up and post info on what to do and see.

How are people getting stuff so early?

I want a swag bag :-/. Did you get it when you got your badge??
You get a swag bag when you pick up your psx badge.
Yeah, that is what I'm talking about. I don't think I can grown into this shirt, lol.

I guess? I know I did even though I wear an L size. I figured I would just wash it once and it'd shrink enough. However because it's too large currently I'm not going to wear it to the event tomorrow.

Other GAF staying with me is chiding me for having to wake up at 6am to make bacon.
Bacon may not actually happen.
Lots of shit happened today.
May God forgive me, GAF.
Everyone did.

Have fun tomorrow, everyone. I'm literally stuck in the office making updates to the site, so I won't get to share in the festivities, but I'm there with you in spirit.
(Maybe) See you all on Sunday!

Seriously? Just woke up to check and did not think that many people were there already! Might get ready now then, especially if we go pick up drive thru etc going over.
Where is the line, outside still? Recommended to bring something to sit on, knowing the streetsides of SF and how they can be?
