    What i don't get about most of the 'cam' footage of stuff from E3. Would it kill some of these sites to invest a few dollars in video equipment? Yeah I know these guys don't do a lot of video stuff and to buy an expensive prosumer camera would be a big budget item, but for a website like Giant bomb or something who does a ton of video anyways.

    Buy a Panasonic HVX200 or a Canon 5D Mark II or something for godsake. And buy a tripod.
