There used to be a time that we could organize big trade events, and everybody would be there, because they knew it was the place to get exclusive info and hands on experiences. Companies would pay hundreds of K's just to be present. But over the last couple of years, things have changed. The companies that used to exhibit have grown into shareholder facing corporates with no interest in the public they grew up from. But another trend emerged. These so called weblogs! Darn them. They have the scoops, they have all the previews, reviews and 'me'views. We tried to silence a couple (remember Sony vs. Kotaku) but it was unstoppable. Why wait in a line for hours for 3 seconds of Wii, when you can get all the insides in reviews from a weblog. We hate to admit it, but guys like you Engadget, are maybe the most important reason why we have become irrelevant and even obsolete.

Dear Engadget,
