ECTS....No Sony?
Paul Irvine
Just got my Full pass and the usual floor plan mag shows 2 omissions.
Both Sony and Sega are not mentioned as being exhibitors. It does say
that Sony products will be on show (a rather silly article) but looks
like Sony are elsewhere..??
All the other big names are mentioned with only Sony's CD mastering side
listed.
Sega we knew might not be there but the B & W floor plan proves it.
But luckily for us Cryo will be there :)
PS Iain or Paul, what's the deal with the Sony thing, you all mentioned
being down for the show so surely Sony Europe has some stand presence
there?
C'mon guys...I need tee-shirts and mugs :) Plus baby sized stuff :)

I've just checked the floorplan on www.ects.com, and we are on stand G700,
which looks like it's in the same place as it was last year.

I've no idea. We send off for our passes just like everyone else (only
marketing types and managers go there officially). Hopefully we'll get told
what is going on soon. As long as there's a huge party, I don't care where
the stand is...

Well, Nintendo is on G410 (the biggun' in the main hall), G700 is SONY
who have the same slot as last year in the separate hall (which will no
doubt be hot enough to boil water by the afternoon), those are the only
two really big buggers.
Interestingly I can't find Virgin Interactive listed anywhere, but it
could be that they've got G150 (which is the first big pair of stands
you see coming in the main entranceway) as there's nobody credited to
that stand in the brochure.

Nah, according to the website it seems that G150 has gone to Acclaim
Entertainment.
No sign of Virgin Interactive whatsoever on the online floor plan.

Didn't Virgin get bought-out by EA this year ? And all that fuss over Thrill
Kill and EA not liking it, so they binned it ?
Just guessing...

Thanks Paul, looks like the Adv pass booklet is old as it does show the
G700 but does not say who is in it (well spotted Niaz)..
Now I know its the same place I think I might buy a bucket of ice before
I enter there :)

Yep, that bloody floor plan we got sent is out of date it seems.
If you look at stand G232 you will see Imagine Software :)

I love the fact that ECTS brings out the rivalry between you two. :)
Although as Paul will attest (judging by Jimbo's recent jpeg
attachments) Jimbo is the far more worrying of the two...

It was playable at E3, so I don't see why it won't be playable at ECTS.

Footballers shouldn't even get the minimum wage.. :) But, then again, I've
never really understood football. I've always thought it was just some
blokes huge bizarre fantasy, eleven blokes in tight shorts and shirts
running about the place making themselves look like plonkers.

I really do hope not, when you or your lot were showing Medievil off in
that little round area it was so caking hot you could not last more than
a few mins. OK, it kept the flow of people but it was hell :)

Jason will probably be there, but you won't recognize him as he's had his
hair chopped off. He now looks like Stephen Dorff in Blade.
Paul still looks like a member of Hanson though.
We may be weirdos compared to the rest of the world, but compared to some at
ECTS we'll look positively normal.

Think again...With Graham Goring and Bryn due then 'unmolested' might
not be a good word :)

Maybe he should have used the word "unmoletested" as the chance of some
sightless subterranean furry creatures making him sit an exam at ECTS
is pretty much non-existant.
