Event Description
Over the past two years, Replay Events have delivered their annual Replay Expo to over 7,000 gamers. The show is the only UK video games expo which caters for every aspect of video games – from console, PC and mobile to classic gaming including arcade and pinball right through to pro gaming/eSports and even cosplay. The Replay Expo has outgrown its old venue and this year is moving to a new location: EventCity in Manchester. Rebranded Play Expo, the 2012 expo will feature four distinct events: re.play, now.play, pro.play and cos.play. Returning visitors can expect to see everything they loved about our previous events in Blackpool, the only difference being that there will be much more of everything! The familiar re.play event will feature freeplay arcade and pinball machines, retro consoles and vintage computers. now.play will have a large emphasis on the preview of Christmas gaming, hardware and accessory releases for the latest consoles and PC. pro.play is an eSports event featuring [big-money!] competitive gaming tournaments, whilst cos.play will include costume competitions, masquerades, talks, DDR and other cool features.
