Shared on Mon, 04/02/2007 - 09:30I have had some interesting information passed my way by a very reliable source that will make many gamers drop their controllers and run for their pcs.
My source tells me that E3 is not dead!! It will be rise from the ashes in October as E for Everyone!!
My super secret secure source states (try saying that three times fast!) that tickets will go on sale in June for an October show. Children under the age of 13 will have to be accompanied by an adult and will run during the week and over the weekend. The early word is that day passes during the week will be $45 if purchased in advance, $50 day of show. Tickets for the entire run of the show will be in the $120 area, but no confirmation as of yet. Any details are subject to change since the show is in its earliest planning stages. I will update as more information comes available.
With the "industry only" convention scene having folded up, how many game companies will pitch in to throw a big show? Will the Big 3 swing the fat dollars to bring us the multi-level booths and massive displays? Will it be a weak attempt to gauge the general gaming populace's interest in a public event, or will it be the all-out extravaganza we have come to expect from E3 of the past? With opening the show to anyone under 18, will it spell the definite end to scantily clad booth babes and turn it into a Timmyfest?
All that remains to be seen, but I for one am going to have my tickets as early as possible!
