Compared to years past, this E3 suffered a practical swag drought. Sure, Joel got a spiffy iPod and I saw some people, lot of people walking around with World in Conflict skateboards, but for the most part the stuff being handed out consisted mostly of water, food and t-shirts. Funny story, I almost "stole" a bagel from a hotel vendor who had made the mistake of setting up shop in the midst of three developers. Sorry, when I'm at E3 and I see food on a table it means free to me.
