Now is a good time for E3 to change.

I thought E3 already was open to the public. Wasn't that the change from the "slimmed down" test E3?

I believe it's somewhat open but you still have to be involved with the industry in some cursory manner like work at a gamestop or something.  And then there's the exhorbant price for tickets if you arne't getting them free as media.  

Like $100 or what?

This is just based off of memory, but I recall the number being closer to 800 than 100.

edit:  What I can find says that it was definitely 400 bucks in 2011, but I swear they doubled it this year.

Wow. Kinda cool though that gaming can be attractive like that.

Wasn't E3 a grass roots show way back when it started? Like 100K visitors for a small entrance fee?

You have been to E3 Torillian as a VGC representative, haven't you?
