MGS3 Demo Nabbed From Sony E3 Stand?

Posted by simoniker on from the or-so-the-rumor-goes dept.

Ant writes "GamesRadar.com is reporting that a Metal Gear Solid 3 demo was stolen from the E3 videogames expo by nefarious exhibition attendees, as, allegedly: 'L.A. Convention Center security staff were left flat-footed and red-faced yesterday as two unknown perps had it away with a copy of the MGS3: Snake Eater demo... The code snatchers were able to gain access to the PS2 demoing Snake's hotly anticipated jungle rumble by cracking the perspex case on one of the pods on the Sony stand."

    Its actually pretty tight already. The largest group of vagrants still allowed into the show are retail clerks. For whatever reason they let the group of people most likely to include the dirtiest rotten fanboys into the show. Oh I know why, its so they can sit in line at the Nintendo booth and praise whatever POS they have on display that year. I am definitely in favor of blocking the retail clerks from attending.

    There are 2 lessons to be learned here:
    #1 To get into E3 on the sly, take a job at a video game store.
    #2 Yes, expect to see further tightening of the rules. This year it was up to 2 forms of current proof of game based employment, online registration, photo id, on-site registration, and a strip search by the guys from America's Army out in front of the LACC.
