At EGL4 on Sunday, we couldn't take any food/drink into the event, is this going to be the same, or was it just purely because of the sponser.
@Razor one of my team mates hasent got a passport, hes only 15 so he hasnt got driving license etc.. What should he do?
Its fine, it's just reccomended you bring it just incase. Make sure he brings his email with ticket on it.
@Razor Can you just answer a few quick questions for me please? - What time is it suggested to get to event on the Saturday, I'm going Saturday morning so won't have registered on the Friday - Can I bring a harddrive from a 360 elite console? - Student card good enough for I.D? Cheers in advance.
9AM Yes you can, as long as it's not from a slim Xbox you are fine Not sure. Should be fine if it has your DOB on it
My MW3 disk is saved to my HDD (New xbox slim) and that is the only way i can play it as it as a huge scratch that makes it unreadable. Don't really feel like forking out another £40 to use it for an hour or so, or clambering round trying to borrow other peoples. Any chance there being a few disks EGL can supply that people can rent? for the weekend...
We may have some, but I'll literally only be able to tell you on the day. As some of them are totally done and scratched to death.
