    If the cosplay competition is hidden somewhere away from everything else then yes.

    Sounds interesting, but that site could use a bit of meat/community section.
    Who is running it?

    There doesn't seem to be any info on who is running this.

    Also, I wonder if the E10 fee just gets you into the venue, but you have to pay more to enter 'LAN wars'?

    Should be more info by the end of the week. Says on their facebook that their full site should launch today.

    Cosplay event is being held on Halloween, so the entrants won't really look that out of place... I guess.

    Yeah I kinda want more info on it too. Heard the whole weekend tickets are only €20 though.

    Im hoping its an expo and not just a tournament or LAN event. If i can see and test out new games set for xmas then ill be very interested. Its too far for me to drive to Dublin just to play games i can play from home.

    Im heading to Gamescom in Germany in 3 weeks really looking forward to that have some interviews and hands on time lined up for Red faction, homefront, Killzone 3, GT5, LBP2 and sony and EA press conferences to attend cant flipping wait !!!

    The site is now live. Can't wait to go, cheap enough too, especially if there's any swag.

    If you still get the countdown on the website refresh the page that worked for me.

    Bag of goodies is always a good idea, people like free things

    Thats not correct actually, gamersireland.ie have nothing to do with really, we will promote it on the site and elsewhere as much as we can along with a bunch of other irish gaming sites but thats it. Two other guys are the brains behind it and are putting a lot of work and effort into making it a great weekend for all of us gamers.

    Is their any point in a guy who knows very little about PC games going? Is it basically going to be all about shooting games basically? I am not in to them tbh. Might go 1 day and see what its like.

    If there is enough content for the PC gamer im there (LAN party doesnt interest me). If its just Console noobs pre-releases, i'll give it a pass.

    I have to be honest, I take exception to the video claiming that this is the first time ever that the gaming world has come to Ireland. Like a lot of people here, I've been helping to run LANs in this country for over 10 years (Galway LAN and LanParty.ie). I've seen us sending teams to international competitions. I've also been involved with the World Cyber Games. However, that's a small complaint and I realise they're only saying that for reasons of hype.

    I am planning on going to the event and I really do hope it takes off. Details still seem to be sketchy though, I'd love to hear what's actually happening rather than just a list of events.
