A reminder that if you’re planning to hit the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) East this year and you’ve been putting off buying your tickets, you need stop arsing around and do it soon. The Early Bird discount ends on 31 December 2009, which means from the 1 January 2010 two-day passes go up from $25 to $35, and the three-dayer from $45 to $55. Going on previous events, it’s looks increasingly unlikely that people will be able to get in on the day – so be a smart Panda and book your pass before you book your hotel room.

And now that I’ve delivered that news like a professional journalist should, I’m off to have a little cry in the corner because I can’t go. Sniff.
