Gallery: 10 Things You Should've Bought at PAX 2008
By Chris KohlerSEATTLE, Washington -- Besides being a global gamer mecca, the annual Penny Arcade Expo is also an excellent place to pick up some super-cool, super-dorky swag.
Unlike Comic-Con where massive dealers' rooms hold hundreds of vendors that sell everything up to and including the kitchen sink (if the sink was autographed by Mark Hamill), Penny Arcade Expo takes a more conservative approach. Vendors can come to the show only if Penny Arcade likes the cut of their jib.
If you went to PAX over the weekend and didn't return with something at least this awesome, we feel sorry for you. Check out Wired.com's full Penny Arcade Expo coverage, including photo galleries from day one and day two of the expo.
Left: PAX attendees with $400 to burn had the opportunity to purchase one of the rarest videogame systems ever: Colorvision. Produced and sold only in France by various manufacturers, it features five games, each of which has an acetate screen embedded into them. The system lights up the screen and the acetate serves as a colorful, if non-interactive, backdrop. On sale at Y-Bot Classic Video Games.
