As you can see on the QuakeCon site, registration for the Texan id show opens on March 6.

You’ll be able to book tickets from 9.30pm EST.

This year’s QuakeCon takes place August 13-16, 2009, in Dallas, at the Hilton Anatole Hotel.

Speaking to Kotaku at QuakeCon, id boss Todd Hollenshead has joined the “E3 was shit” chorus by saying that… E3 was shit.

“E3 this year, in my opinion, it was pretty much disappointing to everybody,” he said. “The press were disappointed, the people I talked to in the industry are disappointed. Almost everyone agrees that that was the wrong way to do it.”

id announced QuakeCon 2008 last night, which is now confirmed to be running from July 31 to August 3 at the Hilton Anatole Hotel in Dallas, Texas.

As well as hosting the biggest LAN party in America, the event will see exhibits from more than 60 developers. In addition, you get to see John Carmack talk space-speak, and that won’t happen forever, so get it while you can.

We know someone that made the effort to get there last year and loved every second: QuakeCon really is supposed to be worth it, so do consider the trip, journo types.
