i wonder if a year is enough time for people to start saving up...it's a long way for me, since i live in toronto, canada.
I forgot to mention that E3 is even more exclusive now than it was before. Previously, only press and people involved in the games industry (retailers and such) could get in. It's not like the Tokyo Game Show, where anyone can come as long as they buy a ticket.

With the new E3, they (the ESA) invite *you*. There's a joystiq article from a while back that mentions this. With the whole 'scheduled meetings' thing, it is a very exclusive deal.

I don't know where you stand in the industry (if at all), but keep that in mind before you go planning your trip. The old E3 is dead.

As I mentioned, the Tokyo Game Show is open to the public. Heck of a lot more expensive to get there, but if it's your thing... go for it. I went last year and had a blast in Japan.
