    I'm excited to see lots of things, I went a couple years ago and they had a multiplayer demo for Battlefield Bad Company 2 so hopefully they'll have one for Battfefield 3, also got to try Mass Effect 2 early so hopefully I'll be able to get my hands on Mass Effect 3, they also had some Halo ODST gameplay before release but the line was too big to bother. I remember there being a big line for Bioshock 2 preview but all it ended up being was a small room playing the preview videos you could already get off the internet so hopefully if they're showing stuff for Bioshock Infinite there'll be more than just a video I can already see off the internet. And of course there'll be lots of free stuff to get. I'm hopin to see some PSP Vita stuff if they have it. I also have a pass to some Halo event that came with my weekend pass, so there'll be that. Gaming vendors will also be worth seeing, maybe buy a few geek chic t-shirts if I'm not already carrying too much schwag.

    Can't wait to see some Counter-Strike as well as some more BF3 footage. I also want to see some more Firefall footage. I can't wait till after PAX since that is when Red5 said the Firefall beta would begin.

    My Youtube Channel. Mostly PlanetSide 2 & BF3 footage but also many other games

    I know your pain, I don't get to go either and I really really really REALLY want to go.... Luckly I can watch it all from work. But still. I wanted to get my D&D on with the Penny Arcade people

    Same. Firefall is the primary game I'm interested in, but GameSpot hasn't covered it at all for some reason. Possibly because Red 5 has been so stingy with information thus far

    Apparently their display is going to be really big this time.. they have something like 40 PCs set up at their booth. Attendees will be able to play the game's PvE for the first time.
