    - new gaming technology
    - interviews with a developer
    .... etc ....

    I will be carrying a digital camera (SLR) and camcorder. :)

    Wow, that is very exciting, I wish I were in your shoes. :)

    I am really hoping that there will be some exciting PC announcements in addition to the tons of console announcements that will take place. I'm hoping for some console games to come to the PC like Fable 2 and the GTA4 DLC. :eek:

    I know this isn't specifically PC/Laptop related, but could you find out more about the Gran Turismo game leaked for the PSP?

    Specifically, is it a port of GT4, a cut-down version of the upcoming GT5, or is it an all new version?

    yeah, that was back in 2006. :)

    I remember that some companies (like Sony) still had booth babes and paid the fine. :p LOL.

    There are various places what will do full coverage on E3.
    Like Kotaku or Joystiq.

    But still, personally I would like to see pictures. Alot of them.

    Please cover anything combat flight simulation related. There's not much these days, and not sure what's on the horizon besides Storm of War: Battle of Britain by the makers of IL-2 (1C).

    Tech
    nVidia's 3D Glasses - Look amazing, but I've only heard bits and pieces
    Zune HD - This is the first media/mp3 player I've thought about getting to replace my Vision M
    Slim PS3 - NHL 10 and MLB The Show are making PS3 really, really hard to say no to.

    Games
    Knights of the Old Republic - Sadly, I won't be getting this game. MMO just aren't worth it to me. Maybe you could ask if there's gonna be a Knights of the Old Republic 3 for me? :)

    Mass Effect 2 - Anything you can get. I'm really excited about it.

    Sports games - I'm kind of hurt by the fact that they've stopped sending sports game to the PC.



    Oh, and all the girls you can get away with taking pictures of :D
