PlayStation Experience - who's going?

This morning I got a leaflet in the post (addressed to me personally; not some thing that got dropped through everybody's letterbox) about a forthcoming event in Earl's Court.

To quote from it:

:

At the show you'll be able to play the big PlayStation 2 and PS One games that won't be available until later in the year and some that won't be available until 2003. It's your exclusive chance to play the games as early as the industry insiders.

Apparently, each of the three days that make up the event will include 'an exclusive chance to play the hottest games up to six months before they hit the shops'; breakdancing, BMX and skateboarding showcases on a giant half-pipe; guest apperances by TV, sport and 'gaming celebrities' (WTF is a gaming celebrity?); live events and perfomances on the main stage; and a supposed 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity to compete against other PlayStation Experience gamers and win groovy stuff. And everyone who attends also gets a free promotional pack containing a copy of OPS2M, merchandise from top games publishers and a demo disk only available at the PlayStation Experience.

I'm so there. I suppose Ratchet & Clank, Malice and Spyro 4 are too much to hope for, but Tekken 4, Kingdom Hearts and Vexx are real possibilities. Are there any other PS2 fanboys in Blighty who plan to attend?

A few examples: Peter Molyneux, Shigeuro Miyamoto, Hideo Kojima, Lupin Kojima, Bill Gates, etc. Basically, a gaming celebrity is someone who when you think about them 'gaming' is one of the things you think about. Same as 'sporting' and 'TV' celebrities.

Got my tickets booked. There are two sessions on each of the three days that it lasts for, and I'm going to the morning one on Saturday the 31st.

Am I really the only person on this board who is from Britain and has a registered PS2?
