Isnt it easier to get to a central philly location than VF?
I personally would rather drive into the city than have to deal with the smaller and often more congested areas around VF.
Philly is a great town to have such an event in, having it here (yes, I'm from Philly) could give the attendees something to do after each days events. Like it or not there are many a fun thing to do in the city, and its much cheaper than NY area.
I think guys are acting like this supposed to be the next E3, I dont get that impression at all reading the hacked site, and if I can save some money in the process I am for it.
