    I've never been myself, but anything to do with "Toys4 Big Boys" has to be worth a look :D

    haha, the first year was probably the best. They even had the 'Gentlemens' clubs being promoted.

    It can be entertaining but depends on your level of internet use. I mean if you visit Gizmodo and Engadget then you are likely to have more insight into the type of gadgets you *might* see. The good thing is you might get to see it in the flesh so to speak.

    If you get a free ticket then go for an hour, otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.

    Cheers

    Went the past 2 years only coz I got freebies.
    Last year was woeful. If you're around 15-18, you'll probably enjoy it, and see the odd scantily clad model promoting a new console. Otherwise, don't bother. I wouldn't go this year even if it was free.

    If you get free tickets then go. If not then I wouldn't pay in to that as its just a big waste of time in my opinion.

    The only reason to go last year was to have a go on the Wii before it was released...

    Anyone know where I could blag a free ticket to this. Went two years ago and was a little disappointed, I'd go but I wouldn't pay in.

    Haha! They'd be better off having kiosks with these sites permanently loaded on display terminals.

    Went to this last night.

    A fiver for parking and 16 quid into the thing and it was absolute ****e. I only stayed about 30 minutes and tbh I had seen everything in that time. Very little of interest and for the most part it just felt like the organisers were struggling to fill space.


    If you have a free ticket, nothing else to do and think you might be interested I suppose give it a shot but otherwise dont go near it.:mad:

    I've been exhibiting there all weekend and it's a particuarly crap show. I did it about 2 years ago as well and it was crap then too.

    I personally made Clear OT Level III which means that as soon as my €5,000 donation to the Church of Scientology clears I can expect to have Xenu beam me up to the Mothership and we can hang out and watch the 7-hour director's cut of 'Battlefield Earth' together.

    Happy days.
