Gaming Horizon
Gaming Horizon has partnered with DivX for E3 video coverage. They're offering everything for free, including high quality trailers and such. Everything's nicely integrated with the divx web player, or you can just download.

A few things
The problem with people going to conventions just to get free stuff isn't limited to E3. I think that happens everywhere. I've been to numerous other conventions (never E3) and the sales people are all about getting something out to the attendees that has their product name on it. The writer doesn't give a good reason why "swagbaggers" keep him from doing his job, he just complains and says he doesn't like them. Can't he still review the product without waiting in line for free stuff?
He complains about how easy it is for people to get in and how small press doesn't get any attention. How easy is it for someone to put together a webpage, get a general business license and start "reporting" on video game news in the first place? Before today I had never heard of gaming horizon. IGN and Gamespot are places people go for information because they have a large user base that warrants the extra things that get thrown their way.
Demo Campers? Buck up bucky. If someone is sitting at a game for 30 minutes and you have been waiting to play you tell them to move. It can't be that hard to do.
Online Reporters:
Only journalists with commercial news Web sites qualify for E3 2005 media badges.
Does gaming horizon qualify as a commercial news site? Do they have a business license or government issued documentation and business cards for their staff of volunteer writers? If they don't have all of these things they don't qualify as media anyway.
Is that four story building listed on their staff page really theirs or did they just photoshop a logo on a building? http://www.gaminghorizon.com/staff.php I'm just curious if gaming horizon qualified to get valid E3 media passes in the first place. -
Re:CNN has nothing better to report?

Not in court for a long time.
Since its inception, Infinium has proven to be rather belligerent about its product and will probably stay in court for a long time.
Or maybe not such a long time. Infinium lost. -
Re:Playstation 2
A DS was fixed in 4 days.
Nintendo payed for shipping, and the man sent it out on November 29, just 8 days after release.
This kind of service you get with Nintendo for one dead pixel. -
sony's should just keep quietthe psp seemed beautiful when it was announced, yet every detail released tarnishes it.
at this point, we have a $300, oversized-yet-portable game player with 3 hour battery life, and the ability to play movies on a propietary format that you can't record to... don't worry though, i'm sure you'll be able to re-pay for the movies you own, so you can watch them for a few hours on the 3" screen before the battery dies...
... but that IS a a nice screen.all we need now is some kind of phone attachment, and sony can have their very own n-gage.

The Modern Day Gamer?Well, I'm a gamer. I'm not too modern though because my computer is ancient by PC Gaming standards:
P3 850 MHz, 256 MB of RAM, GeForce3
I once reviewed PC games for gaminghorizon.com. It was easily the most fun I ever had writing, mainly because it was the first time more than a couple people would be reading something I wrote. Due to my shocking talent of being able to post on slashdot quite regularly but not being able to meet deadlines for GHZ, I am no longer part of their staff.
It's probably for the best, since I doubt I could review modern PC games for much longer with this humble system, and with my current financial status an upgrade isn't likely. PC gaming is not really a cheap hobby, but because of that it is always on the bleeding edge, unlike consoles which are supposed to have a life span of about 5 years.
As for console fans out there, I recommend Blizzard's PC games (yeah I know bnetd dmca blah) but their games are always designed with very straightforward interfaces, and could help to convert console gamers to PC. I've had some success with this method.
