Mortal Kombat: Kollection heading to PS2![Tokyo Game Show [TGS] 2008](/media/events/tokyo-game-show-[tgs]-2008/TGS-08-banner.jpg)
Last year’s Tokyo Game Show was a huge event that set an attendance record of nearly 200,000 visitors, making it by far the world’s largest gaming convention.
The show proved to be especially memorable as it was the first place where an actual in-game demonstration of Metal Gear Solid 4 was unveiled, as well as a slew of other great PSP, PS2, and PS3 announcements. With 2008 speculated as the takeover year for Sony, TGS 2008 will be just as big, as will the possibility for in-game demos of Final Fantasy XIII and much more.
This is why we are pleased to hear the dates for the 2008 show, and can reveal that this year’s event will take place from October 9 - 12. This show is of particular significance as it allows the general public to attend, as opposed to being exclusive only to industry insiders, such as GDC and E3.
Typically the first two days are reserved for the industry insiders while the last two days [Weekend] are open to the public, allowing you to experience the show for yourself without being held back by work commitments. So as long as you can afford the plane ticket and hotel cost, you may attend the best gaming convention there is! Hope to see you there.

It would great to see an in-game demo of FFXIII as should be near completion...for the Japanese version anyway!

lol DaveW i like the fact that you post in comments in regards to what others have to say aswell. It's a shame that most PSU editors (although it is here i get my news) doesen't do it.
Staude, I do read comments, but I never really post. However, I will make it my best efforts to post some comments.

Might go. Japan is easier to go to then you think. Youve pretty much got a plane ticket after you buy a PS3 and a bunch of movies :) heres an example on ANA (All Nippon Airways) $931 round trip ticket from Los Angeles, CA, USA
Hotel is estimated at $150 for 2 nights in Chiba Prefecture (where TGS was last year).
Save up now and you can MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Gotta love Japanese cosplayers, they know how to do it right. =P Anyway hope to see this event on some conference vids for sony.
Can you guys try to get some vids this time too?Becuz that'll be great.@Gingo
You mean u usually do have enough money to go to Japan just to attend TGS?Man,what do you do for a living?
Not being hyped up for TGS every again.
TGS 2007 sucked
You said it Dave, cosplay girls. Mmmm.
Too bad I won't be able to make it this year, though I'm not too sad because most good games in 08 will be out by then.
