Free Stuff at E3?

[jhuang0]

Hey all, I'm gonna be going to E3 this year for the first time as a member of the press. I was just wondering what kind of free stuff I should expect? Is there going to be more free stuff the first, second, or third day? Do they essentially liquidate their items on the last day?

I only ask because of the Slashdot linked article earlier this year... just curious on what to expect... and because I might have to miss one of the days.

Lots of T-Shirts, also you will get random stuff like foam balls, keychains, memory sticks, and possibly some messenger bags/backpacks if you get lucky.

Get press kits. Sometimes they are worth their weight in gold.

not unless you win some kinda give away... do you think they're really going to give out big prizes to everyone?
