An exposition is supposed to let you get a hands on feel for things.

I've been to a lot and an exhibitor for my company and of course we want you to buy stuff, but we want you to be engaged and enjoy our booth thats why we give out free samples and have plenty of them to go around for everyone who enters the venue. And you can see the difference between the booths that have samples and that don't.

I don't want to watch a demo of the game (i dont want to look at the box of your product)
i want to play the game (i want to taste the product)
THATS why you pay to get in.

It may be a bit different to gaming but the same principle applies.

There were plenty of games to play on display at the expo... Almost all the stands had playable demos (I didn't try Halo or MW3 so i dunno about them)... the Arena was great.. showcasing some new technology and amazing stunts by motorcross riders.

I don't get the hate on the EB Expo..
