I'm pretty sick and tired of E3 being open to media publications only, as I'm sure everyone else who isn't part of a media publication is. luckily, I happen to be working for a media publication called elysium productions (www.elysiumproductions.com) and I'm really, really trying to convince them to lobby for a videographer pass for me to go to E3. nevermind that elysium productions is a wedding video company. we're the biggest wedding video company in the LA/OC area, so I'm just telling them to leave out the "wedding" part of our production process and hope that E3 overlooks it and sends the company a pass.
but, I am a dreamer, and I know it, so it's likely that come june 2nd I will not be at E3. I just hope that eventually we have a large gaming expo that showcases games and technology of the future that's open to the public. and that doesn't cost $150 per ticket like blizzcon does. did you guys hear that the tickets for blizzcon sold out in like, ten seconds? and now people who actually got the initial tickets from the blizzcon website are re-selling them on ebay for literally $1000-1200 a pop. how crazy is that? I love blizzcon and blizzard games, but there's no way I'm dropping a grand to go to convention. unless it's a firefly convention, because that's the greatest tv show of all time.

I'm betting since E3 is an advertisement setup that you're pretty much required to sit through all that stuff.
Also, you could have just submitted your credentials weeks ago if you were paying attention in the pre-registration session yourself. I guarantee you, you would have gotten in. I know a few "journalists" that got passes when their sites are just link/pic dumps. Dtoid member Artemus also got pre-accepted, and he owns a budding T-Shirt website that sells 1 shirt so far. It's fairly easy.
Anyways: You blog a lot. Capitalize your sentences!
No, wait, that's been done already...
Magnalon is right.
I have friends who work for major video game publishers and websites who didn't get cordially accepted to attend.
Hard work, effort and credentials help. Luck also plays one helluva part.
I had the privilege to attend the epic event in '05 and '06. E3 is not boring. E3 is a total blast of video game bliss.
The major conferences are a separate deal, all together. The actual floor of the event is the real deal!
Persistence is key, to get into E3.
Niero started "a" blog to get there and look where it got him.
Magnalon, more shirts are on the way, man!
Yea, that's what I meant by budding! You should give us a hint on what it is.
It's Super Mario Bros. inspired.
Think power-ups.
It'sa on the way...
