Hiyas,

Was just trying to get a feel of this. Am asking now as it probably might take that long to organize everything. If there's enough interest, that is.

Some numbers based on this year's convention.

Ticket per pax : USD 100 / RM360
Hotel per night (across the street) : USD 100 / RM 360 so 4 days (1 day arrive, 2 days convention, 1 day pack and ciao) is USD 400 / RM 3604
Air Ticket to LAX : RM5,000 with MAS
Transportation between LAX & Hotel : USD42 / RM151 so 2 way is USD84 / RM302
Food @ USD25 / RM90 a day? So 4 days is USD 100 / RM360

Total is approximately : RM 9626 / USD 2673.

Hmmm...so maybe need something like RM10K just for a BlizzCon trip. Could probably get it cheaper going as a group and booking early but still a hefty sum of money.

So, anyone interested?
*
dont even need to ask, if i can collect that much money, i 100% go... (considering i did spend 13k on my pc... this shouldnt be a prob tongue.gif)

she's using psychology on us. first she post a figure of 9k+ and then lower it by 2k... making us think, "WAH! 2K cheaper!" appealing to our kiasu mentality.

It's as appealling as going to the PC Fair. Unless I can earn that much in less than a month, I'd rather spend that money taking a vacation on an island somewhere or at a resort. Paying that much to go to a fair to catch some news/updates/sneak previews, win random items/prizes, etc like you would at the PC Fair, not for me. If you can afford it on a month's salary or lucky to be a rich playboy/girl of sort, then I envy you. Me, bills to pay, commitments to meet and obligations to fulfill, so can't spare anything for Blizzcon by that year  rclxub.gif

P.s seeing as remi is proposing it, looks like you've already made up your mind eh?  hmm.gif
*
in case you never knew, ive always wanted to goto blizzcon the first time it was announced. the difference is that, back then, i have no job, and things like this is definitely out of reach, a mere dream. ive been a blizz fan ever since the diablo1, warcraft 1/2, sc 1 days. not as hardcore as those who might've known blizz since their old school console days (remember the remade of lost vikings? thats one of their title) but it should already hinted to you that im pretty much a blizz fan.

now everything's change, i got an income, i get to purchase a new computer, and blizzcon? it can become a reality instead of a dream, it is within grasp.

you see, im the person who would go through all sorts of lengths just to get what i wanted. warcraft3 collector's edition? i got it. WoW burning crusade collector's edition? i got it. now you would probably wonder why i didnt have WoW original CE, well it was simple, i was jobless, and WoW was the mother of all hype. The limited production CE was quickly sold off, and resale on ebay for over rm1k. me being jobless, simply have no means of acquiring it. war3 ce on the other hand, wasnt even close to being as hard to acquire as WoW CE but it came close. WoW TBC CE was a joke to acquire to the point i manage to acquire additional units to sell them to other people that has interest in Malaysia.

and since the announcement of sc2's findlay statue, ive been looking forward to get ahold of one myself although the price does seem to be a lil expensive and it'll probably be a b**** to ship it to Malaysia (it is a lifesize model afterall)

with the above said, i believe you should realize now, myremi proposing this or not wouldnt've made the slightest bit of difference.

Talk about getting an explosive reaction. LOL! I was just wondering who was interested as I wouldn't mind making the arrangement if no one FFK the trip at the last minute.

Me, I'm not sure yet. But it is a long way away and probably will be able to save up, provided that nothing major happens along the way that is money draining.

Sharing rooms will cut it down a lot as well as sharing transportation and group airfare. Besides, it was a thought. smile.gif And time is still so far away that maybe enough time to save up. The estimated costs up in the calculations are for one of the hotels that is within walking distance rather than having one that is really far away. Not easy to find taxis at these kind of big conferences so other choice is actually hiring a car and driving there.

The biggest chunk would be the airfare. If held during the peak season, the prices will be in the different of RM1K- RM2K, depending on the fuel prices. My aunt works as a travel agent so can usually get cheaper fares and easy to make changes, less hassle, blah blah blah.

California is a nice place. Friendly people. And yeah, you get to be in the big USA. Sightseeing can be cheaper if a car is rented but still a lot of walking and confusion too. Their signboards on the road are hard to see although roads and parking spaces are bigger than here. Not to mention driving on the other side of the road too.

And yeah, it's BlizzCon. Conferences are tiring and Odinn is right by saying that it would be similar to PC Fair where it's crowded and full of people. Still, would be interesting to see and experience. And to meet up with other players there.

my uncle/aunt lives around the area too... san jose biggrin.gif

and my uncle's is my source of US/blizzard goodies tongue.gif
always kacau him when a new collector's edition is out lol...

also, pc fair back in PWTC is worth it, klcc, no thanks.

blizzcon, you kiddin? sc/war3/wow arena tournaments and all the blizzard panels... (if you got the WoW TBC CE that contains the dvd which highlights last blizzcon events, you'll know that its VERY well worth it... jeff kaplan (tigole) is also a very very humorous and fun person to listen too. and if ur into lore, theres always christ metzen to entertain you smile.gif)

Going there just for blizzcon? no way. but if you are telling me i am on a trip in the US for 3 weeks or something so happen blizzcon is around the town...i will drop by.

I would pick E3 over blizzcon smile.gif
*
i would too but not anymore.

E3 got downsized to dirt and now requires press passes to enter. its basically worthless now. TGS (tokyo game show) or the gaming convention that was held in germany (forgot the name) by FAR pwns E3.

And blizzcon yes. But i doubt its an annual event though.

blizzcon started out as a one time thingy but fans demanded for more, so they continued it... AFAIK it still isnt confirmed as an annual event, but its pretty much "known" that it will be an annual event without saying

i couldnt dig up the 2005 press release to highlight to you that blizzard said that it will not be an annual event. 2007's blizzcon was out of fan's HIGH DEMAND and due to sc2 announcement and wow arena highlight tourneys all around.

and what voltron you got? can pinjam? lolz
