It was a very poor attempt to be a game expo.
only tihngs worth looking at was the xbox 360 display and nintendo Wii
no sight of the ps 3 ..
It was a very good Expo!
2 days of great fun.
I was dissapointd there was no PS3, but threr weere LOADS of PC hardware, games, comps ect. - and Nintendo had a large presence.
GeOW was fairly good too.
I was surprised with the large turnouts on Sat and Sun.
i went on the first day (the friday) and i came away with a Wii tshirt and belt and an xbox 360
