XBOX 180 and the PS4 will be there, as well as panels from people in the games industry (local and international), a LAN party, Robot Wars and some other stuff too.
Occulus Rift will also be there.

EDIT: If anyone else is going, I'll most likely be wearing a faded orange No Fear cap. I also have facial hair.

Sadly, I is not IT Guru enough to be allowed to sport such a beard

[GraphicX]

any chance of you giving it a bit of coverage here pink ?  we're hoping to get media passes for it, if we get them maybe you can go for us ??

What Graph said P1nk - doesn't need to be anything formal, just some thoughts and ideas would be great, although if you want to put together anything more formal that's awesome as well .  You've got a great and informed take on the game industry, am sure it'd be a great read . Totally no pressure, but if you go and feel like getting some thoughts out, I could knock 'em into an article and drop 'em on the front page?

[p1nkm15t]

I could probably knock something out for the forum. I'm planning on getting a 2 day VIP pass for it.

Let me know if you get a media pass

[Axe99]

Top stuff P1nk, sounds awesome .  Whatever your thoughts are, am sure there'll be plenty interesting and insightful .

May also contain traces of sarcasm.

Interesting!  He's supposed to be pretty good - you reckon any other Kiwis will be able to take him down?

[GraphicX]

rank in CoD is based purely on time played, not skill etc unfortunately.  regardless good on him for doing it with charity claiming the benefits.

Yeah so he probably hacked it or he had a copy before everyone else so he was ranked #1 for a little, haha.

Ahh, so just #1 on leaderboards then?  Given he's a millionaire do-whatever-he-wants type (with no kids I think?), he would have an edge there .

[GraphicX]

i dunno even who he is, just read someone say he was ranked #1 so assumed leaderboards (as he's too old to still be competitive in a game like cod in competitive matches).

i remember codec_majik (???) on W@W who was ranked #1, guy had something like 8 ps3s running & he'd just play FFA against his other consoles to keep his ranking.

Kim Dotcom's kinda famous - ran some internet service that fell foul of the FBI, and got raided a few years back.  Will try and find a link.....

http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Kim_Dotcom

(sorry - didn't try that hard, but Wikipedia does the job )

[GraphicX]

he's the megaupload guy, nice.

[p1nkm15t]

They've got a list of speakers:

http://digitalnationz.com/speakers/

Benson Russell from Naughty Dog will be there apparently! (He'll be talking about The Last of Us, already registered for it : )

And should I register to play Kim Dotcom at MW3?
I might not get in, but it could be good for a bit of humour.
