While we longingly gaze up to the stars in wait of the Destiny Beta, and later it's eventual release, there is an equally pressing event fast approaching. With the conclusion of PAX East just yesterday the sleeping Goliath has begun waking up.
Historically PAX badges go on sale sometime after PAX East, and if the last years have been any indication of the trends, they're going to go lightning quick this year. It's time to turn your gaze down from the heavens and towards your computer screens.
Plan on going to PAX this year? Say hi, join the group, and bake me a cake (why not?). I'll try to keep this thread as up-to-date as I can, and I'll try to give as much notification as I can about when the PAX Badges go on sale (I'm *usually* pretty good at catching them).
Message me or post here if you'd like to be added to my PM list for when badges go on sale. I can't promise anything, but like I said, usually I'm very good at catching it. In the mean time, recount your past PAX conquests and your future plans. I look forward to seeing you all in August and bringing the Communi7y Army together again.
EDIT: It seems a Penny Arcade user has made a handy little spreadsheet: [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AilPyWyh2FlbdGtjaG1pYjlMWENKaEdxY2dGRU95V1E&usp=sharing#gid=0]Look at me! :D[/url]
EDIT EDIT: So we're in uncharted waters here. PAX badges have never been sold this late, so I honestly have no educated guess anymore as to when they'll possibly go on sale. The best advice I can give all of you is to keep an eye on the PAX Prime website. When things start changing, like last years ads and articles going down, maybe some styles too, whatever, expect that badges will go on sale either that day, or very close to it. Other then that, make sure you've got SMS alerts on Twitter for @Official_Pax, they always tweet when badges go on sale, though you'll need to act quick.

Probably going to miss out on the tickets. I am unable to keep a cellphone on me at work, so I was hoping they would have gone on sale yesterday or today when I was able to at least periodically check the site, but Thursday and Friday are crunch days, so I won't have that liberty. Maybe I'll get really lucky, but chances are I'm probably going to have to pay the scalper's prices.
