Early registration for the 2009 Game Developers Conference – taking place March 23-27 in San Francisco – ends tomorrow, February 12. If you want a 30 percent discount, get cracking.

Loads of cool stuff will be happening, most importantly the keynotes from Hideo Kojima, and Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.

Also, if you attend you can witness the Games Festival Awards and Game Developers Choice Awards, honoring the best titles of the year.

Head on over to the official site and get involved.

Registration’s opened for GDC 2009, taking place in San Francisco on March 23-27 next year. A form’s available from the official site.

“The Game Developers Conference prides itself on continually improving the conference experience based on the needs of our attendees and the industry,” said event director Meggan Scavio.

“With the help of feedback from the community, our advisory board, and editorial staff, we’ve crafted a conference this year that speaks to the changing landscape of the games industry.

“You can expect more specialised content through our new and existing summits in conjunction with compelling talks in our main conference.”

Thanks, GI.

GOA has denied that Warhammer Online is still experiencing registration issues in Europe, despite the fact that it… is.

New users are complaining that they’re unable to log into WAR’s European site, following assurances from GOA last week that issues experienced in the open beta would be cleared up before launch.

“Your information is inaccurate, sorry,” we were told by a rep this morning. “These problems stem prior to the launch.”

Which is fine, despite the fact that we personally can’t log into the European WAR site. We bought the game yesterday, and didn’t participate in the beta.

Not being able to log in means we can’t set up an account and patch the client. Which means we can’t play the game.

None of this is being helped by the fact that there’s no customer support available for the game by phone. Only email.

We’re also hearing reports of queues of around 30 minutes to get onto a server for those that have managed to register.

GOA added that the launch was on track.

“For your information, our launch went very well yesterday,” said the rep. “Our figures are good.”

We’re waiting on further comment from GOA in France and UK PR reps.

We’ve just registered at the O2 for the SCEE PlayStation Day, and we’re practically crapping ourselves with excitement.

We’ve been told that press will be allowed to take seats at 3.30pm and that Paul Oakenfold’s DJ’ing later. We won’t be listening to Paul’s “rinsin’” turnes: we’ll be updated as much as possible. Kick off for the press conference is at 4pm BST, remember, and all seems well with the connection so we’ll be live blogging for the win.

All being well we’ll have text, audio and video updates for you as we go into the evening, so don’t go changing. All the news will be right here. All of it. If it isn’t you can be rest assured we died trying.

E for All’s official site has updated to give those of you who are interested a tentative idea as to when you can sign up.

The event will be held on October 18-21 at the LA Convention Center and registration will begin ‘spring 2008’.

The full list of participants can be found here. Fancy it?

It’s seriously slow today, so you get stories about registration for French trade shows. Registration for Paris GDC is now open here. If you sign up before May 14 you get a discount. Only “103 days left”, says the site. We have no idea if this is going to be any good, but even if it isn’t you should blag a trip to France from your boss. Paris is pretty in the summer.

The event runs from June 23-24.
