E3 is rapidly approaching and gamers everywhere can expect a flood of new gaming information to unveil itself. For those of you wishing you could attend one of the great gaming expos offered throughout the year there may be some hope for you yet. GameStop recently announced that, for the first time ever, they will be opening their EXPO doors to all members of the PowerUp Rewards Program. Attending EXPO will allow fans everywhere to spend five hours on the floor with the hottest upcoming games, and play them before anyone else. By purchasing the $35 general admission pass you gain access to following: Experience the hottest new video games months before they're released! Spend five hours on the EXPO floor interacting with publishers, developers and fellow gamers. Check out and play your favorite games. Enter to win great prizes in drawings from your favorite video game publishers. Enjoy special celebrity appearances and autograph signings. If you're feeling particularly important right now, be sure to pick up the $100 VIP pass that grants you the following perks: Up to four VIP general sessions for an in-depth look at the hottest titles of the year! A GameStop VIP badge which grants you entrance into the VIP lines for all autographs and signings. Entrance to the GameStop hospitality room to enjoy a casual gaming experience with other hardcore gamers like yourself. An exclusive GameStop bag to fill with swag! Attending the EXPO seems that it could be a hit-or-miss event. With only five hours on the floor the worth of the passes will seem to boil down to how crowded the expo is, and how quickly they will be rushing people off the demo kiosks. EXPO is taking place in San Antonio, TX on August 29. Be sure to check out the GameStop EXPO site for more detailed information. I will almost certainly be in attendance due to my overwhelming proximity to the city. If you plan on making an appearance I look forward to meeting you! Source: GameInformer
