CES 2009 Coverage in Las Vegas

Darksaber · Jan 6, 2009

Well guys, we are (almost) there once again. It is January and CES 2009 is about to kick off on the 8th of January. We will be there a couple of days early to give you the inside scoop. All the juicy stuff will be posted in form of news here on the front page. We, W1zzard and I, are currently stranded in Cincinnati but should arrive in Las Vegas tomorrow.

It is at the same time as the AVN awards. What a coincidence. :toast:

Easy Rhino · Jan 6, 2009

one of these years im gonna fly out there and go!

erocker · Jan 6, 2009

I'm extrememly bored and sick of winter. I'm thinking about it. If I can get someone to take off of work and roll out with me it may happen. I have a problem not holding on to money in Vegas though. Planning is key, I'll remember that.
