"never trust the provisional press facilities"

I did my first E3 about a decade ago. Without Wifi, the bun fight for the couple of dozen provided desktop taught me the very same lesson.

A few holidays abroad, however, had long taught me about the passport bit. Noob ;)

I'm pretty sure that walking more than a block in LA = muggable tourist, right? Speshly in the locality of the convention centrer. You can imagine my excitement, back 'in the day', at the prospect of walking about 4 blocks through Koreatown with a fresh US region PS2

Damnit man, I've so much valuable info to impart! ;)

Sega Uk / Sony Uk lounges/meeting rooms (upstairs) ALWAYS have drinks/snacks for press. Granola bars are your friends. Rent a car, even if it's just for the first 2 days. 3g hotspot + huge external USB battery... I could go on.

Either way it seems like you had a much more successful first go than I did (though stefs guidance was very lacking) so kudos. glad you had a good time.

Side note: do not judge our food by hotels, convention centers and 7-11. So not fair ;)
