Who is at the Gamestop manager's conference in Vegas? It starts tonight or tomorrow and it is usually good for lots of breaking news.

jstevenson said that a lot of media folks would be present and that Ted Price would be showing off a brand new single player level of resistance 2...

I hope this isn't a "behind closed doors" sort of event, and that we actually get to see footage of the new level.

Are there NDAs pending on what is shown at this event?

Just wondering.

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
A whole show dedicated to the games I will be asked to pre-order by GS clerks relentlessly for the next 3 months?? Oh please do give details!

Its manager training over HR, and loss prevention stuff and other new initiatves that the company is working on.

Vendors come in to train the managers on new products coming out that holiday and next year.

Cameras arent allowed. Just a fyi. And it starts tonight like in 30-40 mins w/ Nintendo.

Free Wii Points (4000), Marketplace Points, Animal Crossing free upon release, Gears 2 and Fable 2 free upon release, LBP free upon release, some older games (Greatest hits I think) and a bunch of shirts etc.

Less than least year actually.

So this might boost their $24,000 a year wage up by a couple hundred bucks or so?

Tonight I got to hear Cammie Dunaway say "shit". :lol

I am also apparently the only manager here who knows what Rhythm Heaven is, as NO ONE ELSE applauded it.

For a moment after reading your post I confused it with guitar praise, and got VERY scared about the state of GS's inventory.

I know a couple of people that went. Unfortunately the swag is from a Gamestop conference. This means when they get home they'll find out the CEO took it home, used it, and gave it to them like it was new.

Just a brief, basic gameplay description XD

She also mentioned when discussing GTA Chinatown Wars that you can "use the stylus to tattoo your gang members!"

The keynote there should be starting any minute, and Ted is in the middle --- we won't be releasing footage of the level for a bit (till it gets a proper introduction to the gaming press) and hopefully no shaky-cam comes out (worst way to see it) but there will be screens as part of an up-coming cover story that should be out very soon.
