PhillyClassic 5 was a huge success and we're glad we were able to be a part of it! Over 2,500 video game fans from all over the US (as well as some foreign guests!) packed the hall Saturday and Sunday, with a wide assortment of vendors, exhibitors and guests to keep everyone busy and having a great time. We took over 400 pictures during the event, and have posted a selection of the best pictures here. A large number of these pictures were taken outside of show hours, as we had a tough time breaking away from the booth during the show (especially Saturday, when it was busiest!) Enough talking, let's look at the pictures! Enjoy!
