I'm going on July 12th. I've already ordered my venice bundle. Some people who went to the chicago one said that they give away some free stuff and there's free food. Good opportunity if you want to upgrade your pc. I think everything is NFR though, so don't plan on buying just to sell.

I am SO going to the Atlanta tour.. :wub:

I just need $250.

 

[D.D.]

i wud go...only thing is i know i'll end up spending a whole lot more money after that $250....

You have to preorder and register at the site to get the bundles. If you do it will ask you what you do for a living and if you work for a company. You can just bs that part, they only check your id when you get there and that's it. For example, I put that I was a "system builder." :lol: I think I forgot to mention that no purchase is required. All you have to do is sign up.

Valcrist: I would buy yours, but Newegg has a Chaintech 6600GT card for $158.. that and I'm deciding between it and a vanilla XFX 6800 for $217.

Gota talk to my dad, that Irvine showing is looking good...

 

[eternal11]

ok so, has anyone actually gone to this? i signed up for sunnyvale last week, and all they sent was a confirmation email. are they supposed to send you other stuff? do we just tell them our name when we get there or somtehing?

 

[darian]

I think you have to print out that e-mail and bring your I.D. if you ordered a bundle. If not, I think you can just go.

 

[Valcrist]

I went, you have to bring your credit card and I.D. to get the bundle.
(make sure to PRE-order, or no cigar)

To get in just bring a picture I.D.

Just don't tell any of the microsuck reps that your a gamer...they dont' take kindly to us

 

[eternal11]

ill keep that in mind when i go/if i go. i just was informed of a lame family outing thats going to take place at the same time as the tech tour in my area. sadface.
