    I want to actually stay in a hotel this year, even though I am in the area. The drive to and fro is too much of a hassle.

    Hint hint.

    Don't book it yet. In a month or two PA will announce PAX rates for the hotels, and there will be discount/group codes to use.

    I'm pretty sure that i'll be going so i'll be booking a hotel room when the time comes at the official hotel, and getting a pre-registration sometime in the next month. Even if I discover I can't go i'll pass the room off to someone else, and the pre-reg will only be $35 lost. :)

    Yeah, I know. I was there the first year too. :P

    But I guess it'll be good if it's just not in the same area as it was Last year. I only played one game of SSB:M during it because it was so crowded.

    yeah that first year it was way crowded in the console room even at like 1am, it was crazy. A few enforcers and I "borrowed" a spare xbox at about 1:30ish and hooked it up to a TV in the lobby to get some halo action going on, because we couldn't get space in the actual console room.

    Before you do so I would suggest making sure your head doesn't in any way resemble fruit. And yeah I'm really looking forward PAX already....it's a hunger.
