    Probably just the Arcade Show. Cave's new one should be on display there... Nothing consumer has given me wood in a long time.

    how hard exactly is it to get press accreditation for the tgs?
    i've been to trade fairs that required little more than my adress on the impress of a videogame related webpage.
    according to the tgs press registration page, they are more strict about that.

    it is a cakewalk. Just say you work for some site (any site really) and they'll mail you one. Might need to do it early. I might get one for shits & giggles.

    According to their rules it has to be a commercial site though and you have to give them some proof that you really work there. Or don't they really check?

    I got one ages ago when gamengai was still Japanese Gaming hosted at Classic Gaming... you couldn't tell that from anything other than the URL though. I don't think they're very strict.

    Last year they asked for Business cards, one they took the other was used in the pass. I did see two young men (20s in street clothing) being refused a pass as they had no business cards, I watched them as they said "This is bullshit man" before being escorted out. I did chuckle.

    They must've changed their rules. So, go spend $10 and get some business cards made. :)
