dosent really matter to me, sure i would have liked to have gone to it one day but it would have been impossible anyway.
the only point of it for your average gamer was the news and previews and i don't see that stopping.
I would like to see a smaller gaming expo that opens in several countrys at once thats open to the general public, if the big companys wanna show off and get publicity for their games wouldnt it be a good idea to actually show them to gamers instead of just V.I.P's
Does E3 even matter anymore?
Since we have "the interweb" we all know what they are going to be showing. And even if they show something new, most people have made up their minds already, Nintendo people buy Nintendo and hate Sony. Sony people buy Sony and hate X Box, X Box people buy X Boxes and have no one but themselves to hate for buying the system.
funniest shit I've heard all day :pQuote:

Something new will come out, it has to.
And if you ask me, I think E3 will be here for 2007 and the years after that. How will everyone represent their products if there only showing crap in Japan. E3 is to popular anyways to be lost in time.
Since when was E3 VIP only and $400 dollars to get in? I went as a student in 1998 to the one in Atlanta for 50 bucks I believe it was. It was just for the show floor. Now if I wanted to get into conferences that is where the extra money is, but you can still get in for a very reasonable price. I guess not anymore though. :(
Isn't Doug Lowenstein that ******* who wanted to kill emulation a few years back?
I can't believe :(
I have been several E3's and loved every one. Personally its ok because theres many more gaming events dotted across the world just as good as E3 and longer running too.
