I don't know about this year, but last year the launch event had REAL food, prime rib, veggies, tons of finger foods, lots of good deserts. This is for the press conference part in the evening, seperate from the LAN party. Though I wouldn't be surprised if they limited access this year to press only, must have cost them a fortune last year.

They had terrible security last year, I mistakenly went to the press registration table (instead of the LAN registration) and they gave me a badge even though I wasn't on the list. lol

San Fransisco is quite a ways away from LA.

 

[Ronin]

Seeing if the company will send me up there. If so, I'll meet up with you, Rollo.

 

[EvilRage]

If I can secure the day off before registration is full I'm down to go. I'll know by tomorrow. Ronin and Rollo, want any company? =D

 

[imported_Pressure]

Just out of curiousity, is the unveiling of the G70 the same day they start selling them or do they start selling them soon after?

 

[Jeff7181]

Steal a sample and do some benchmarking, Rollo.

The more the merrier- you can kill me a few times at Battlefield 2!

Don't know. There's a guy "Gibbo" on another board who says they anticipate having them in stock by launch.
