Where did you get a fast track pass for psvita? Maybe i'll go there first before a queue builds up once the early entry hour is up.

By doing some thing on facebook, not sure if you can still do it or not though as it was a random draw type thing.

Oo forgot about vita, interested in how that feels.

Just got back, it was amazing! So much free stuff - including a free onlive console that came with a copy of PC Gamer magazine!
And to top it all off, the eurogamer staff were giving away free packets of doritos at the end! As many as you could carry!

I just got back, didn't get tons of Doritos and an OnLive console but I did get some Saints Row 3 sun glasses and a bobble head, that's good enough for me, got to try a load of things I've been looking forward too, although some thing I decided to let my girlfriend play instead.

I played;

Rage
Skyrim
Saints Row 3
Battlefield 3
Track Mania 2
Playstation Vita on Sound Shapes or something, you didn't get to choose I just got lucky I guess...

I watched my girlfriend play Batman Arkham City and Guild Wars 2, while having to constantly help her throughout, overall it was an amazing experience, I think the biggest surprise for me was Rage, I didn't think much of it but after playing it I'm not a believer, the game is brilliant.

Of course that's not all I did, I checked out other games as well, MW3 looks alright but I didn't want to play that, The Old Republic doesn't really seem like I'd be interested but the queue was longer than Guild Wars 2 so it probably had something to it, some other games were quite good looking but I feel I played the best ones, although Guild Wars 2 is certainly something I'll need to be checking out.

Did you not bother queuing for an onlive console? For me it only took about half an hour.

I played:
Uncharted 3 (3D)
PSVita: Little Big Planet
MW3
Battlefield 3 singleplayer demo
Battlefield 3 multiplayer
Onlive DiRT 3
RAGE - also got a signed copy of the game cover
Trackmania Canyons
Quick play of the 3DS, filmed it for a while too
(Plus another couple I've probably forgotten about)

Freebies I aquired:
Bobblehead
Onlive System
PC Gamer Magazine
Energy drink that looked like piss
2x Yoyo
12x Packets of Doritos
T-Shirt
MW3 Poster
DiRT 3 Poster
Advertisements

I ate:
Hotdog (£4)
Pizza (American) (£6.80)
Mars Bar (£0.70)

Total spent inside: £12.50
Potential profit if selling onlive system: £40+
Conclusion: Epic Win.

Na I couldn't be bothered, it was like a 3 hour line, they kept having to stop people joining because it go so big, I couldn't be bothered with it really, I didn't realise they had BF3 single player, they had co-op and versus today so maybe they change it or something, I also had a quick go on the 3DS but I hate them so I didn't play long, it was some Zelda game.

I dont think you realise they give out ONlive consoles for free because it's a subscription. I've known about Onlive for almost 2 years now and tried to aquire one but at that point in time they were only giving out in America. If Onlive has reached the Uk market than free consoles will be given out soon on their website and honestly i cant wait, it looks amazing

Back on topic i was dissapointed i missed this year (after going last year) but i couldn't help that as i was moving into Uni that weekend hehe.

I think the point was trying to get one for free so we can sell them on for £50 later on, that's the only reason I wanted to get one anyway, I don't ever plan on switching to "cloud gaming".
