This looks fun !

[PetitChouFleur]

Only for Americans? Meh, that sucks. Whatever.

[Choobed]

Holy crap! I'd like the Intel SSD for sure.

Too bad I don't live in the U.S.

[domasin]

Don't you hate it when you get psyked for a contest and the at the end they tell you "ah sorry U.S. residents only"

I shouldn't even bother anymore.

LOL just realized the two comments above me are basically the same.

[Beret]

[Joseph17Prophet]

Wait hold on, MinecraftForum has Ads?

[DJ_NOWIS]

Lol only for US. Again us europeans got flashed. :(

[Exodor]

Looks fun!
RLLY FUN!

[kalidroms]

Only in America.

[zionofthewasteland]

It sucks that it's only in the US, especially since Minecraft isn't an american born game. To be honest I never understood why minecon is happening in Las Vegas.

[vapid2323]

Vegas is to an extent built for conventions, yah there are places all over the world to have a convention but you have to start somewhere. Its not like the next one wont be in Germany, I mean most of the BioTech conventions I attend are outside the USA.

My point is people are always going to be upset about the location, no matter what you do, never going to make everyone happy.

[KamiKazeKenji]

Ads? What ads?

I might also point out that about 37% of the people that are on minecrafts website are from the USA. To me its a smart business choice, if you want the convention to at lease come out even then you should have it where the most interest is.

[HeyImLuis]

Ads? Also, Minecon is in the United States because it the fucking United States. If you want to woo the world, you start there.

[BlietZ]

Meh, only US. Sucks tbh
