According to event organizer Cameron Ferris, "we had something like 30 to 35 thousands attendees in Melbourne and we believe we had at least that in Sydney. The rain drove Saturday numbers down a little bit, but by Sunday we had huge lines for admission all day long." The must-sees and must-dos include console hands-on as well as several LAN tournaments that offer prizes totalling up to AU$ 60,000.
Furthermore, Ferris couldn't help but compare their event to eGames. Cameron insisted that theirs was quite better because they were able to draw in the casual gamers. Ferris explained:
We really went for the fringe guys - eGames, while it was really good, was just too trade-oriented. The way we approached this event was to get plenty of support from all the major publishers, and then present the games and displays in ways that would promote the console and PC games to people who wouldn't ordinarily go for them.
