E3 2005 Tchotchke List (Booth Giveaways: Shirts, Pins, Etc.)

[zmweasel]

Here's a list of the goodies I gathered at this year's E3, but I know I missed a lot -- such as a DS Game Card with a video clip of the new Legend of Zelda game. (The Nintendo booth-person said the company ran out on the first day.) Can other attendees help me figure out what I missed?

If anyone has a spare Katamari Mousepad, I would totally buy it. That is really awesome.

Nice Schwag!

Anyone grab a spare Finny The Fish plushie that they don't want? :hmm:

[TheRedEye]

WHAT!?! Both Tanya and I BEGGED for one of these. All three days to boot! They said they simply could not give any away. I'm crushed :(

(And sorry we didn't get the chance to meet up) :(

We managed to snag the Zelda demo, but it was REALLY tough. We wouldn't have gotten it if we didn't have the media credentials.

Capcom: Viewtiful Joe/Ace Wright canned coffee

Logitec: Lanyard

Namco: Miniature Pacman and Ghost figures, Gumby figure

Nintendo: 4 month subscription to Nintendo Power

Rockstar: A smegload of assorted stickers

SNK: Fatal Fury Hat

Sony: Welcome Chang3 static sticker (stuck to our TV in the hotel when we came back from day 1)

Tylenol: Tshirt

The History of Videogames exhibit gave away boxed Starplex controllers and Pac-Man Lottery tickets.

I kid ye not.

[§ Gideon §]

The History of Videogames exhibit gave away... Pac-Man Lottery tickets.
Yeah, but were they already scratched? LOL

[Promophile]

Thanks a bunch ZM for making this post. I would like to see a list somewhere of the yearly promo items handed out at E3. Maybe I could put one on the site I'm developing.

[PDorr3]

that katamari thing is awsome :)
also the prices on that zelda demo are CRAZY, people paying up around $80 just for a short video demo on their ds, eventhough I guess it is a neat promo.

[Mayhem]

There's less than 1000 supposedly of them, so I foresee it being a huge collectable in the future.

I think Square were doing some Advent Children promo material.

Um, no.

I hope someone got that $30,000 instant win!

The EB Games near me has a few, might want to check one near you. :)

Achika and I got a ton of stuff. 3 medium sized boxes came home with us... which are still taped up. We haven't had time to sort through everything. If we can find this thread, a rundown will come. Notable stuff is all 5 Nintendogs, every piece of FFXI grutch they were giving out, and 2 massive Bradygames press kits (with 2 free strategy guides, one being the Biblic-sized GTA:SA one).

We missed the damn DS demo and the 360 faceplate. Bah! We will never miss those damn press conferences again.

But we did come back with 16 PSP lanyards. wah00t.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words:

We did miss out on some of the coolest stuff like the aforementioned Pacman figurines (which I just bought off of eBay), and the Squeenix DQ8 slime plushie.

Gizmondo also gave away a smegload of stuff, but we forgot to hit that booth up.[/url]

[Ed Oscuro]

I got some business cards.
Did you get Whutdufuk.com's?! I hear Valve invited the guy from them to some big meeting or...something LOL

[Mr.FoodMonster]

That Sega 'Gamer' shirt is cool.

E3 is just awesome.

[Bratwurst]

Anything else noteworthy that Capcom passed out other than a can of coffee juice? (Which, I must say, is pretty lame as far as E3 junk goes)

[Cryomancer]

So did anyone get the Mega 64 DVD from the Eidos booth that I heard was supposed to be there? I'd really like a copy...

[hezeuschrist]

Christ, did you guys play any games?

I got a ton of stuff too but I certainly didn't have time to get BOXES worth of it.

I walked away with 10 t-shirts, the DS Zelda Cart, press kits/catalogs from pretty much every booth, and thats about it. I got a lanyard here and there but jesus, 3 boxes of stuff? That's insane.

I saw the Mega 64 kids signing autographs and giving out DVDs at the Ubisoft booth, but I didn't have time to wait in line for one.

Well, one whole box is paperwork, not even CDs and such. If you got press kits and stuff from every booth like we did, you'd need at least two boxes to hold it all.

Ah wait, this was for both Achi and myself. One for her, one for me. That's probably where the discrepency comes from.

That Katamari pad rocks, man!!

Good god man :eek 2:

[digitalpress]

They really don't give out stuff like they used to, do they?!

Just a few years ago I had to pack extra suitcases so I could carry the freebies home with me - and even at that I'd often have to ship a package back to myself from the show.

Oh well. At least the games and new system announcements were worth the price of admission!
