E3 2009 exhibitor list revealed, Activision-Blizzard attending
by Alexander Sliwinski

One of the few noticeable names not attending the reinvigorated trade show is NCsoft, who we've contacted for a statement.
Although E3 is still not open to the public, eligibility to attend is more lax than the last two years. If you're curious about going, it'll take two pieces of "industry identification," such as a "company credit card, paycheck stub or W-2 form." Best of luck to all the GameStop associates wanting to attend.
Update: Word from NCsoft: "While NCsoft has been a member of the ESA in the past, we are not currently an ESA member and do not expect to attend E3 this year. We will continue to evaluate how E3 fits into NCsoft's plans each year." As to "why?" The company didn't answer that.

No Bungie yet... I was hoping they were going to announce another project besides Halo: ODST.

I would think what ever bungie will be anounceing if they do it will be under Microsoft or another publisher. Thats why they are most likley not listed.

E3's back, baby.
I'm really liking their new date, too. Well after school is out, but not all the way back in fucking July.

If they make it that long.

Could it mean that other Expos, that welcome more the down-to-earth public, may suffer?
With the economy situation, I`d expect companies to think twice about where to take their shows.
