some of the live 08 pics look more realistic than the actual picture itself. kinda creepy actually.

I really think you people are making too big of a deal about this. You dont get to go to the friggin thing anyways, so why do you care? This is going to be much much better for the industry. The big guys are gonna have soo much more money to put into TV marketing, development, and things of that nature. Plus, we'll get all the previews scattered throughout the year, instead of at one time. So now we wont have to wait a whole year to get info on our precious new games. I honestly dont think the average gamer (not the industry insider) shouldnt give a damn about this. But thats just my opinion.
