Now thatE3andComic-Conare behind us, it’s time to focus onPAX 2008. The fine folks from Penny Arcade have sent us a little reminder that this Thursday will be the last day topre-register for this year’s PAX. Right now, the three-day pass is only $45 and one-day passes are $25. After Thursday, at the door prices will go up by $5 with the three-day pass going for $50 and the daily passes going for $30.

Sure, $5 doesn’t sound like that much of a price increase, but don’t forget that there will be plenty of goodies on sale. I’m still kicking myself for not purchasing the awesomeCastle Crashersfiguresfrom last year.

A full schedule of the panels hasn’t been released yet, but Penny Arcade did drop a few expected panels that you can check out after the jump. The History of Harmonix panel sounds interesting and of course, there is no way I’m missing a Mega64 panel.

Stay tuned to Destructoid, as we’ll be slowly revealing our plans including more information onthe Destructoid panel. Also, hit the gallery to check out the show floor layout for all of the exhibitors that will be at PAX 2008.
