Came and went, at the Stardust casino.
ATI sponsored the event
www.ati.com/gitg/promotions/cyberx
The turnout was small, due to the lack of notice and promotion for the event. The payout was ($600K US) huge and went unclaimed.
The tourney was cancled as there were not enough complete teams to compete. They put of skirmish fights and the winners of the won $10k per team, everyone took home money on the CS teams. less than a hundred BYOC attended from what I could see.
ATI had a booth with a raffle of a FX-51 watercooled system fully loaded and volt modded. It had a pelt on the CPU too. Abit was first one you ran into with a display of boards and a assortment of giveaways, DFI sat next to them showing off the Lanparty. AMD also had a large booth with gamming systems loaded with games to play. Lots of game developers armed with games to hand out. Shuttle also had a booth over in a corner, didnt see much there other than OCZ handouts. In fact OCZ had handouts everywhere and just about every machine I saw had OCZ memory. Ryan sure gets around.
Gary coleman was in the Postal2 booth showing off the game, The demo is limited playable level.
America's Army, was one of the other give away games that seems to be good.
Lastly I picked up another game, robot fighting game that does not load. A burnable CD with "OMF: BG LT" on it.
