If you want to just do a Walk-In type thing Liokaiser posted the info on that and those prices are per day. Otherwise just keep checking the BotCon website as they will be updating soon with the registration forms that list all the cost(s) for the con's entire weekend (all 3 days). The address for the Rhode Island Convention Center where the Con is being held is: One Sabin Street Providence, RI 02903-1814
This thread should give you an idea of what the convention MAY cost. http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/showthread.php?t=119899
Whats the early bird price ? if i want to be inside before everyone esle ? what are the benfits of it ?
A regular walk in is not allowed in until 10am Saturday morning, someone that paid for Early Bird admittance is allowed in at 9am with the people that pre-reg'd for the 'con.
Which will most likely have been snagged during the Friday "Pre registrants only" opening of the dealers room.
Not always, I know the Japanese dealers often waited until Saturday to put more stuff out. Damn near cried when I spent a bunch on Friday only to see them put out the LD Armada Megatron and GalvaLioconvoy (the main items on my hit list, but since they weren't there I resigned myself to other purchases) the next day when I didn't have enough $$$
