I’ll admit, I’m always jealous of my buddies who work at the local EBGames around this time of year, because this is when the Gamestop Expo happens. This event is usually a giant press conference in which Gamestop/EBGames are invited to see some of the big titles and tech that will be offered during the busy times of the seasons. At least that’s how it was described to me.
The thing is, the expo was an employee event only. Which somewhere along the way, the big wigs decided that this should be changed. As the Expo is for the first time open to the public. According to GameInformer, which is owned by Gamestop, The GameStop EXPO 2012 will take place August 29 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio, TX. Attending will give you early hands-on with assorted video games, chances to win prizes, and the opportunity to meet with, “top video publishers and special guests.”
If you want to go to the Expo; there is a catch. First of which you need to be a Power-Up Rewards member, then you have to lay down $35 dollars for an entrance fee. If you want special treatment likeĀ “up to four in-depth sessions with some of the biggest names in gaming, access to VIP-only lines and entrance to the VIP gaming lounge,” that will cost you $100 for the VIP pass.
