The more games demo'd at a convention, the better...I don't see why having Zelda there is bad...lines are long, people need things to be entertained.

From that Wii list...
Definate buys; SMG, SSB:B, BWii.
Possible buys; WiiZapper, RE:UC (dependant on whether i have enough money)
Maybe; RRR2, Mario+Sonic           (dependant on reviews and my opinion when they come out, then money)

Gah...why can't they do stuff like this in Chicagoland...I need Brawlage!

Damn Ben I misread your post and got all excited.  Stupid LA.

Huh? No, I said why CAN'T they do this in Chicago.

Hehe...sorry.

If there's a big event within 300 or so miles from me, I wouldn't mind going, I almost went to that Star Wars Celebration thing in Indianapolis last year, but I couldn't get out of work. But yeah, it's too much money and time to fly cross-country though...

It must be nice for British people...when there's an event in the UK, it's not hard to travel at most a few hundred miles for any event in your nation. USA's too freakin big to get to most things, especially when all the attention is given to Hollywood and the West Coast.

The Star Wars convention?  I went.  It was really cool.  I'm not that big of a Star Wars nerd so I didn't have tons of extraneous cash to burn on collectibles like most of the people there, but it was really cool seeing all the new products and video games they had comming out.  There were lots of shirts and stuff too.  Plus, it was awesome seeing everyone's costumes.  Anything in Indy or Chicago I'll go to.  Much further than that though isn't going to happen.  I agree though it kinda sucks to be in a country this large.  The cost of travel is too much and it takes too long.  

I cant say i know much about British events, if they exist they are not big.

So can anyone from here make it? Playing Brawl & Galaxy... now? Too sweet...

That's a pretty strong lineup - Ninty are going to own that show, big time. Although I think EA are there as well.

I can't understand why MS & Sony are not showing up.
