Also, Vincent, it seems like what you ran up against is an initial hurdle thing. As others have said, con-goers often have a budget planned out ahead of time. Like, "I have $25 dollars for DVDs, $20 for posters," etc. From what you've said, the folks at the con were totally not expecting games to factor into their experience at all. If you and enough other people commit to serving that audience, you can start to change the expectations, but it'll take a while.
