The last time i went to a play expo the retro corner was small and quite dull, is it true that they turned that around and now make a large space for lots of retro stuff?
It had a huge section for old consoles and computers last year and the year before, only down side was that it was next to the idiots screaming on stage from the cos play section in 2012. I hope they have more floor space for this year as it's going to get very cramped if not judging by all the extra stuff happening that's been announced so far.

I remember the cos play being very loud too. so long as the retro side can keep folks entertained i can't see it being an problem. :)

I stayed in the Copthorne the last two times (family room as I took my Daughter). Wasn't too expensive for a 4* at all (got it through the expedia secret deals link). I'll be there again this year :)
 
We are lucky to have Fitzsteve and Davidio - they usually cart a whole group of people over to revival each year.

I think you'll find that it's Fitzsteve and Johnim :D

This year was my first time but no doubt I'll be going again.
 
For those still looking for hotels, its a short bus ride from the town centre to Event City

I wont be there, but a representative from Ork shall by there in my place

In saying that you might see me towards the end of the day and in the set up video

OK, here's the deal.

I've asked for 12 tables, giving us enough space for up to 24 systems to be displayed, or maybe a few less displays and a stall at the end of our pitch. The stall we had was a huge success last time and we are going to do it again this year - I have loads of stuff to put on there to raise funds for the site.

If you have anything that you wish to donate to the stall, please PM me with what you have and bring it with you on the day. If you are in the Manchester area, I may be able to collect items.
 
I saw a facebook message the other day saying the Delorean Time Machine will be present at Play Expo for photo's.

Would love to attend but sadly just don't have the cash :(
