I sit down with analyst and fellow DICE attendee Mark Berman this morning who proudly ponders out loud "I wonder why Sony is giving away copies of Resistance. Everyone who has a PS3 already has this game." Wait. What? Resistance? Gratis? "It's included in the welcome package."

Minutes to spare, I dash to the press room—I always pass on these things—grabbing one of the amBX branded messenger bags and an Insomniac stamped camo bag. Very fannypack-ish. As I dig through my bag, I quickly realize we get the shaft. No Resistance for the press. Oh well.

So what goods were attendees at DICE 07 showered with? The bags, a DICE branded Xbox 360 face plate, a GameTap photo frame, a nice little notebook with a Target logo, a massive long sleeve polo with DICE embroidery plus various dry goods and over the counter drugs. Look for these items in a future Kotaku giveaway near you! Michael McWhertor
