About DigitalLife

DigitalLife (www.digitallife.com) is a three-day consumer event dedicated to educating consumers on what the digital lifestyle means in every aspect of life: at home, work and play. Scheduled for October 14-16, 2005 in New York City, DigitalLife will provide attendees with an up-close and in-person look at the hottest new digital products for the holiday season. DigitalLife empowers consumers to think for themselves; to kick the tires, compare notes and make smarter consumer electronic purchase decisions.

I heard the last Digital Life was a pretty big bomb...But I live like two hours away so, I might actually go to this one. How bad could it be?
 
Yeah, I got this today.

Despite the last DigitalLife being well...ugh, I still would like to check this preview out. I like cocktails ane hors d'oeuvres at least, and maybe the 360'll be there.

We can only hope. It's so close to me I'm going to check it out with one of my pals. If anything it'll be good to get away from life for a day, and enjoy the city and check out some new tech.
 
Now that it's closer does anyone else know if they're going? I am just because I'm out of school, and want to take a couple trips this summer. And yeah, I'm still holding out hope that the Xbox 360 and some other cool tech from non-gaming companies may be there.

Myself, and a friend will be around NYC all day, probably stop in at the new Nintendo store, and then head to this later on...Anyone else going?
 
One of my friends from the staff of another site might be going, so if he's there I've gotta be.

I hear free booze and hors d'oeuvers. I AM SOLD. :lol
 
We even get a free book! [/sarcasm]

As an added bonus, you will receive an exclusive copy of the first release of the DigitalLife in America Study, a groundbreaking analysis of consumer electronics purchasing trends that focuses on how consumers’ hopes and fears about adoption drive the purchase process

I can not stand how hors d'oeuvres is spelled. It just gets on my nerves. :lol

It gets on my nerves how a lot of French words are used in English. Hors d'oeuvres I can understand, but I was looking through some catalogue and there's actually a certain type of chair named a 'chaise' in English! How retarded is that.
 
I think the 360 is there. Peter Moore is going to keynot the event. I'll be there. It's like a 20 min trip and it's cheap.
 
Why is the preshow in July if the show is in October? Isn't that alittle early? I'm hoping 360's there in playable form.

Peter Moore is going to be there? Wow, I didn't know that. If Peter Moore is going to be there, then I would guess that the Xbox, and Xbox 360 will have a pretty decent presence.

Well, they did promise there would be more at this year's event....
 
To fellow GAFFERS that are attending...What are you guys wearing to the event? The Roosevelt Hotel is a wicked nice place, but the Digital Life invite didn't say anything about dress so...

Are you guys dressing up, or just jeans and t-shirting it?

That show was attrocious. They'd have to pay me to attend it again.

It's supposed to be a lot better this year. Not saying that it will be, but I'm hoping. And this is just the press preview, so I'm hoping they got their crap together this year.

Anyway back to my question...What are my fellow members of the press wearing to the party?
 
Got my answer, and just in case anyone else is wondering, here you go.

Hi Ryan,
No specific dress code…smart casual/comfortable is fine…especially if it’s humid.
Look forward to seeing you next week,

Annie
 
Just one day left until the party. If your there look for a guy with messed up blonde hair. That'd be me. You can see my picture in the "Post New Pics Thread" in the Off-Topic Section. I'll be all over the place but I really hope the Xbox booth has some nice stuff on display.
 
I went last night and it wasn't too bad. They gave out a lot of free stuff, and I got to talk to ATI about the Revolution. He told me some stuff that I probably shouldn't share about the Hollywood graphics chip...Not a ton of information, but enough.

I was by far the youngest person there...It was me, 18 years old, standing next to guys from CNET, Stereophile, PC Magazine :lol ...But hey, it was pretty cool to be with those sort of guys.

So lets here it....
 
Hmmm.... I never got any confirmation or even a response to my enquiries. They seemed rather disorganized last time. Hope things don't repeat themselves.
