Mapquest suggests I take the I90/I94. It'll probably be full of traffic at around 5pm right?

Any word on what the first-100 giveaway is?

LOL it's full of traffic about 20 hours out of the day. Seriously, that's a not-so-great area traffic wise cause it's not far from the circle, so during rush hour it crawls. Every now and then I can get passed it relatively painlessly, but it's rare. It's usually better if your're coming westbound, if that helps.

Maybe I'll see y'all there. Heading down in about an hour.

Hey if anybody is one of the first 100, hold a spot for us CAGs. I'll be wearing a Guns & Roses t-shirt.

I may be there tonight.

Here. Not in the first 100. At this point, I'd say wait 'til 8.

I thought so, what time were they there?

Got here at 6, yikes!!! Lucky if I'm in the first 300.

Just got back, and it was chaos, but awesomeness! They went to hand out wristbands to the first 300 around 7:30 or so, and the lines broke down and formed a mob. People that were there early got brushed aside and probably missed out, people who showed up late I'm sure butted in and got a band. I went with my brother and friend, and 2 of the 3 of us got them. They let all wristbanders in shortly after 8, and everyone else randomly for the next hour to hour and a half. My brother made it in around 9. Wristbands received free shot glasses! That's great swag for me, cause I'll use them. Also, a sticker and free Marvel digital download. First 100 got t-shirts as well as the glasses, but I didn't get to see what they look like. Also, free pizza, coke, and water. Capcom knows how to party. Place looked cool, like a big garage warehouse. Loud music, house stuff, and people would cheer when Capcom music would mix in(like MvsC2 theme). 16 plasmas with the game, all to my knowledge running on PS3 hardware. Also one wall-sized projector screen. I noticed one had DS3's attatched, all the rest seemed to have TE sticks, which was a big plus as well. The game itself looked phenomenal! Better looking than SSF4, at the speed of MvsC2. The supers look amazing!18 playable characters too, basically everyone announced thus far minus the two yesterday, Spidey and Wesker. I cannot wait till this drops, it instantly became my most wanted game.

BTW, the shot glasses had retro Capcom pictures on them, Street Fighter, Ghosts and Goblins, Final Fight, and Mega Man. Someone said they saw them on Capcoms store, but I glanced and didn't see them. I'll post pics of them if people are dying to see what they missed.

Oh yeah, it was about a 20-30 minute wait to play, and at the station I was at, it was best 2 out of 3 games and then we switched players. It worked well, but I noticed assholes not getting off the machine at others and people getting testy, and other stations switching players after every game. I got in line 3 times and was satisfied but itching for more.

Congrats on the free swag and food at the event. My friend took some pics in line. I'll post a few notable ones.

Glad I didn't go to this. Sounds like craziness. Would have been cool, but I had bigger fish to fry. Congrats to those that went and had a good time. I can't wait for this game to come out. My PSN game share group didn't bite on MvC2 and I was shocked. I hope the new iteration lives up to the last one.

Dude, where the heck have you been?! We missed you at the arcade meet-up.

I saw that arcade meet-up. I wanted to go, but I've been busy with school and working out. I'll try to come on cheapassgamer more often. I think it doesn't help that I'm broke as hell now and haven't thought about buying a game in about 6 months. Thank God for Goozex.

If anyone wants any of the following strategy guides, they'll be in a plastic bag to the left of the dumpster, behind my building (3103 N Francisco Ave). The alley is off Francisco between Barry and Fletcher.

Bioshock
Halo 2
Perfect Dark Zero
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Ninja Gaiden
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Jade Empire

...and the piece de resistance,
Madden NFL 08

Also there will be a Rock Band 1 (XBOX360) drumset out there, sans bass pedal and drumsticks.

Get your ass in gear if you want any of it, because the scavengers move quick in my neighborhood.

Has anyone ever had any experience buying from a guy on CL that's near North & Pulaski.
Link to his offers: http://chicago.craigslist.org/search...163&srchType=A
I'm considering upgrading my HD through him but he doesn't have a store and wants to meet for a trade.
Thoughts?

^ Sadly I do not.

Wanted to share with fellow Chicagoans: how I love parking enforcement in this city. I had a stealth parking spot I'd been using near work for almost a year—between the crosswalk and a residential sign with an arrow pointing the other way. Thursday I park and when I get back to my car 9 hours later, there's a brand new metal no parking sign and a ticket on my window. This is gonna be a bitch to prove; gotta file a FOIA.

He is crafty little guy. I bought a wireless 360 headset from him and it did not work. I tried to get my money back from him but he changed his number and avoided my emails. Do not deal with him. He is a 16 year old kid who is out for the cash. I still want my $35 back.......

Anyone know of any good deals on Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition for the ps3?

I might be mistaken, and the site is down so I can't check. I thought that Gamestop had it on sale for 29.99.
