And there was me thinking that the above photo is of City West Hotel, and the above link to 'a map and directions' links to City West Hotel's website... I must be wrong.

My exact complaint of the location is that it is a bit too far out.

CombatCow

I stand corrected, thought the Conference Centre was a separate location, but it does say hotel on the pic so...

Heh, I live just down the road

im thinking of going, console gamer here but i prefere to leave my xbox at home i know you said we dont have to bring our consoles but what happens if we dont and what console games are they there

Horsefumbler

I know theres probably nothing you can do about it but unfortunately theres an 8 clan cs only lan taking place in waterford on the 26th march. so thats a lot of pr0 gaymers that won't be able to go

Probably doesn't matter that its source and not 1.6 then I guess.

There's nothing stopping you getting people with DS's together for this...

Why don't you post and see if there's interest? I notice some people would rather complain than do something or help out.

You dont have to bring a console, one will be provided for you for all of the console comps, and people generally will share for halo and the likes, however it is preferred if you bring your own to get the maximum amount of gaming in Bring a portable TV and xbox, only takes a few minutes to setup and youre good to go for 24hrs

News just in

Nintendo DS will feature at GameCon, Ive had a number of users asking for it, we will have DS Section with hopefully many DS gamers. You'll be able to link Wirelessly and finally play some other DS gamers

One thread will do. And BlueWing, before the rage builds up I want you to know that I'm letting you advertise your lan here despite the fact that I should move it to Lan Parties where these threads are susposed to be.

Complaints will generate a more by the books approach in the future.

We dont support modded consoles nor can we condone them.

Cheeky monkey

BluE-WinG

No PSP yet.. however if the demand is there, this will pick up, what is the networking capabilities for the PSP?

Ciaran500

Its all short range wifi, like the DS.

rainbow kirby

Smellyirishman

Went to the last one, hopefully will go to this one if a few more friends come along, hint hint nudge nudge Ciaran

Ciaran500

I don't know. I'll see.

BluE-WinG

Anybody interested in playing the PSP, Please express your interest here... We may setup a Joint PSP/DS if enough interest is generated

Ciaran500

I'd be interesed in playing RR and Lumines.

Matt Simis

If I go I would take my PSP too (RR, Minna no Golf).

Whats the deal with modded Xbox's? Are you checking if everyone has legit software on their PCs too? Checking for people using corporate keys for XP? You dont have to "support or condone" modded Xboxes or software piracy. Unless people are actively selling Mod Chips or pirating software at the event its an individual, end user crime.

Matt Simis

We do not check for software piracy and so forth, It is all up to the individual to make sure he has legal software and so forth.

In fairness, that doesn't answer his question. If you don't check for piracy on PCs and that's up the individual, why is it different for Xboxes?

If I go I'll also bring my PSP along.

assfire

is there an age limit?

BluE-WinG

No Age limit Younger players should be accompanied by a parent/guardian

BKtje

We do ask for parent/guardian to sign the consent form/disclaimer for you. (we need the parent/guardian to be there the whole day? think someone just brought the form along last time??)

BluE-WinG

Well We do not need the parent/guardian there, however if you are much younger than 16 it is recommended that you have a parent/guardian there, but it is not required.

BluE-WinG

Right 100+ Signups acheived Places are going fast, and dont forget to prepay to save that tenner

BluE-WinG

If anyone would like to prepay for this event (And save that tenner) You can at the Yellow Alien Lan in Bray this weekend, Myself and the other gamecon organisers will be there, and you can pay any of us.
