Penny-Arcade just announced that pre-registration is now open for the sixth annual Penny Arcade Expo, taking place September 4 through the 6th this year. If you purchase your pass before September 3, the three day pass will run $50 or you can get a daily pass for $30. After September 3, the three day pass will cost $55 and day passes will cost $35.
If you want to participate in the Omegathon this year, you will have to pre-register. Whoever wins this year’s Omegathon will get an all-expense paid trip to the Tokyo Game Show along with other prizes.
This year's PAX is going to be little more limited:
New for this year, pre-registration will continue until Aug. 15 or until pre-paid attendee badges sell out. "Every year, we essentially double our attendance, but let me say right now that's not happening for 2009," said Penny Arcade's Robert Khoo. "We've rented every square foot in the center and it still won't be enough. The facility has requested that we not exceed capacity, so we're going to be closely monitoring the number of badges we sell this year. But, fear not. Our goal is the same as ever: to offer a world-class show to all attendees, focusing on amazing content and experiences for the truly hardcore."
So you better buy your tickets RIGHT NOW!
PAX is a very special time for all of us Dtoiders. Great times were had last year, Necros was set on fire and we already have over 100 people committed to coming to PAX 2009 from the Dtoid community.

Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else.

But hey, if they do PAX East next year, maybe then!
Maybe Mr. Obama will put me up!

PAX > Anything else
It's practically life-changing, man. Ask anyone who went in the past.
Glad they'll be capping the attendance actually, they'd have to build some sort of new venue just for it at the rate it was going.
