#1 Ok, news flash morons. People who are not part of the industry go to E3 for the booth babes, food and free swag. All the new and hottest demos are on the web in a day anyway. We don't go to E3 for the demos. Swag, food and babes. Got it?

Well, maybe some people go there for the ... um ... articles.

#5 When I was in business, a couple vendors lost substantial sales to my units over this. Would lost the sales again if I were back in an executive role again, too.

But I don't hold to PC speech codes, just exercising my market rights to choose from whom I will buy.
