Nintendo also said the DS would revolutionize gaming...

The "N5" Controllers will most likely have a Built in LCD Screen. Cool, but it doesn't revolutionize gaming. I'm not sure what else they could do, put 2 LCD Screens in a Controller? Anyways, I hope they bring back Duck Hunt. I love that game.

i hope the Revolution will "Revolutionize gaming" like Nintendo has said, if it doesnt work then nintendo might have to pull a Sega on us (if you know what i mean)

It wont be anything revelutionizing i think, DS wasnt all to new was it, 6 percent of the DS owners preferd using the Pad instead of the touch screen. And that touch screen couldnt be used for too much. My buddy got one and he was a little disapointed in it, but he loves the minigames in Mario64, thats just about the only game he has that is worth using the touch screen in

DS is on the trail of 6 million its doing well but the innovations haven't been used yet, things might get interesting when more games are created with the microphone and touch screen in mind but man some games are truly addictive, its one of those things you've got to try though so if you don't give it a try you won't know but the touch screen coupled with the right environment is truly addicting beyond belief!

**straightballin** · 04-03-2005

Wont adding lcd screens put the make the cost of controllers high like 50 bucks a controller

**PS Gamer** · 04-03-2005

More then 50 bucks a controller...it would be in the 70 range.

**straightballin** · 04-04-2005

So by adding this it would turn off alot of conusmers because of the price.

**Makaveli_786** · 04-04-2005

Would probably be two options, one with an LCD and one without, I'd bite the bullet and buy one eventually but not on release, I think thats what most people would do.

**heerokenshin** · 04-10-2006

Can we get some press passes or something, I can get airfare for me and Mercenary, and we can hopefully stay with his aunt and uncle. But it would be nice to get press passes or something to get us on the floor and hopefully get some words in with some key ppl. I'm mostly gearing this at Rebon or PSGamer. Let me know what I can do. Thanks guys!

I think it's really expensive to get in now. The earlier you book the better.

**luxurys** · 04-10-2006

Yeah, If we can get free airfare and my Aunt and Uncle, who live righT outside of LA let us stay that would work. We could even come up with some money to help pay for the press passes. I would be willing to save up like $100 or something. How much do they cost?

Also, if I can get a hold of my uncle, he might be able to pay to get us in. Or maybe get us a rental car to drive around in. My aunt is a laywer and my uncle is a music producer down there, so they make pretty good money.

Yeah this page might scare you:

**heerokenshin** · 04-10-2006

I work at GameStop, I know that they can get me passes for $500 each... yikes.

**luxurys** · 04-10-2006

Why is it so expensive???
So...Rebon how about it....you said we could get E3 passes right? lol

**ps3 Wanna be** · 04-10-2006

Because lots of people, like yourself, want to go last minute, and there is massive demand.

**Rebon** · 04-11-2006

I spoke with one of the attendance managers back in February about the possibility of some of the PS3Land.com staff members attending E3. They said it should be okay, but we had to present two of the following forms of ID:

Resale Tax Certificate
Company Credit Card (WITH APPLICANT'S NAME)
Insurance Card
Business Ad (WITH BUSINESS CARD)
Business License
Commercial Lease (WITH COMPANY NAME)
Paycheck Stub
W-2 Form

I explained our setup and that, as non-fulltime members of staff, you won't have things like company credit cards. He said he understood, but the rules were the rules and wouldn't be able to do anything without two of the above forms of ID. It doesn't look like we'll be able to get anyone inside this year -- can you go through GameStop Dusty? Also, will you be attending this year PS Gamer?

**heerokenshin** · 04-11-2006

I think I could get the tickets for $500 but we can't afford that..

Maybe PS Gamer could sneak a couple of extra tickets...

04-13-2006

I can yes, but seeing as I went last year it will be harder for me to get a pass. I'll talk to my boss later next week at a meeting we are going to have. To see what kind of strings I can pull. It could be possible to get 2 or 3 but I'm not guaranteeing anything.

Another thing is, that you HAVE to be 18 years of age. Its just one of those rules that they crack down on.

So, I'll get back you guys on the press passes.

One last thing, if I do get some there are some rules that the press must follow. AKA, if there is a announcement with a strict No Cameras/Video that means No Cameras or Video. I've seen at least 7 people get thrown out for it, and had there passes revoked.

That sounds great Kevin! Please try and get some passess if possible, as it would be great to get some representation out there!

**ps3 Wanna be** · 04-14-2006

Good luck getting the passes Kevin!

I've created a countdown page if anyone's bored

Nice

**luxurys** · 04-16-2006

Yeah....PS Gamer, if you can get passes you would be a god!!!! Let me know as soon as possible so I can check in for our place to stay and check airfare and such.

**heerokenshin** · 04-16-2006

Dude, I already told you we'd be flying free, I got that taken care of.

04-16-2006

It's actually extrememly easy to get free press passes, but not this late. Next year, it'd be better to start preparing months in advance. To get tickets this late seem impossible to me. Good luck though guys, best wishes to the possible E3 attendees.
