    OK, thought I'd make an 'Official' thread on this topic so we don't all get confused!

    • We are going to London on Wednesday 1st September

      ECTS is trade only. You MUST register for your tickets, preferably in advance

      If you don't know anyone in the games/computer retail industry who can get you a ticket, contact me ASAP

      ECTS is at Earls Court and opens 10am. We will probably aim to get there approx. at the start, but join us when you can

      If anyone is driving, I would probably suggest going to Excel and parking there (tell them you're going to Gamestars ;-) ) - £8 all day, tube is about £5.60

      Some of us will be going on to CEX and maybe other places, anyone welcome. This will mean buying a tube ticket

      All those who are going contact me so we can exchange mobile numbers - especially important if we have different arrival times!

      The cheapest method of transport is coach... try www.nationalexpress.com - you can put Earls Court as destination but probably will get further putting Victoria Station. Also try www.megabus.com - don't forget you'll want to get there pretty early, though. I'd aim at getting to ECTS by 11 if at all possible

    OK, I think that's everything. If everyone coming or who'd like to come would put their names down here. Also, state what you're up for:

    ECTS (free to trade, can sort that out)
    Gamestars (£10 in advance £12 on door - public)
    CEX / dinner / whatever !

    I'd like to but couldn't get there until probably about 1130, Also I'm nontrade and only 16...guess that rules me out. which is a shame as I'd love to go.

    Anyone got any ideas as to how i could get in? I'm guessing my age is the biggest problem

    Edit: If i cant get into ECTS is it worth going to gamestars? Don't want to go and find out it's crap and i've just wasted about £30 on train/entry

    Damn...

    Well, im going to be at ECTS around 11:00 at the earliest depending on tube delay's/murders. My return coach is at 6:30, so im up for anything up until about 5:30 when I have to leave for the station. CEX sounds good, but GameStars is off the menu as im going to that on Saturday.

    If Retro can get me the ECTS ticket then I will book my coach tickets asap.

    OK, here is a list of members going, to my knowledge.

    Anyone not on the list, contact me in the thread or by PM. This is ONLY if you are going on the Wednesday. Anyone on the list who is now not going, contact me.

    If you are on the list but need details changing, let me know. Also, if you are taking anyone who isn't a board member, again let me know. If we decide to go for a meal or something, we may need to know numbers in advance.

    CLICK FOR LIST

    p.s. apologies if you get any popup, it happens with my host from time to time - freebies!

    Bah :angry

    Seeing as I allready bought my coach tickets and they're now in the mail so can't be cancelled, on top of that I never got paid this week and won't be next week as there are no jobs on the ECTS trip means I'm gonna have a hard time paying the bills -_- I've posted some of my crap ... erm .. cool stuff for sale I wil b e updating it over the weekend with other items. To cut down on postage if you buy anything from me and are going to ECTS on Sep 1st I can bring yer stuff down in person :smt023

    Other than that the latest I can take PayPal payments is late Tuesday / early Wednesday so I can bank the money in time for the trip. I can take UK cheques or postal orders provided they arrive a day before the show :-( If you are going I can also take your money from you at the show :smt030

    Hey, if anyone wants to donate some cash to the "Send Yakumo's arse to ECTS to make a video for the ASSEMBLER crowd" then please feel free to do so :smt045 The irony is that I have a ticket for the ECTS too :-(

    Didn't Acclaim do the excellent Smash TV conversion for the SNES?

    That was quality especially the little cheat to access hi speed mode...
