For thoese of you who dont know what E3 is, please stop reading now and go to Cute Overload and look at the cute puppys. For the rest of us, theres some big news. E3 is, more or less, downsizing. Now, lets take a look at this. E3 is the largest convention of video games, consoles, and similar in the free world (cuba and china may have a larger convention for the un-free world). This is where the big boys (microsoft, sony, nintendo), and all teh game makers, spend all there budgets, and millions more, on a nice booth with pretty girls to draw press, and people to see there stuff. Its a magical and wonderfull event. Its great, if your a gamer, or even a generic geek, you drool over live coverege on g4 and other sources. However, something is happening. From what I understand, at least 1 big boy has said that they are not spending that much money. Thus the convention must get smaller, cause if one guy doesnt go, its gonna get pretty shitty. The reason they probably are slimming down is because of the people attending E3. E3 is notorious fore being a ass for letting people in. They go as far as asking for pay stubs and more. You can only get there if you work for a super big news paper, or a website like gamespot (my fav source), or even a dealer. So, basically, the problem si that lets say, sony spends millions on this booth to show the ps3, but, the only people that get to see this booth are writers, and store owners, and often the readers of these writers, are not the source they are looking for. Anyways, this is probably a rant, check out the story on gamespot
