They're the ones who spearheaded the change, and they're probably resentful that they have to go back, but with the ESA's recent, severe contractions in membership, they had to put some of the zazz back into it. But they wouldn't want to associate it with the sinful E3's of yore.

Hopefully theirs some good announcements that can keep the hype going through out the show, Unlike last year were we pretty much already knew what was coming next.

With a the rumored announcement, leaks i was pretty sure what was gonna be announced, but the whole Final Fantasy for 360 made all the Sony boys cry and crowned Microsoft the winner of last years E3. This year i know Microsoft is gonna announce the ZuneX (xbox portable) so i cant get hype with that since i already know about it, but i hope Sony announces a new Firmware update because my PS3 is just sitting there unable to Private chat in-game or cross-game:(

ZuneX - Here is the leaked screenshot's if you haven't seem it.NOTE: it's ugly lol

Very predictable, just not that they had specifically acquired FFXIII.

-Nintendo posts sales data and misunderstands their audience
-Microsoft gloats about lost PS3 exclusives
-Sony touts games that are years away

i misspelled "Seen it" on my second comment sorry.

i don't know what the hell Nintendo was doing, showing us the dam Sale's data and bored EVERYBODY!, Yeah we know you sell more than Sony and Microsoft so what we want GAMES! Nintendo needs to understand WE KNOW HOW MUCH WE SPEND ON THEM, now with all that money Makes some dam games and show us something new.

Yeah Sony's Sales Data was awesome i watched it even tho i was a 360fanboy at the time, and it really caught my eye with those little sackboy's:), Hopefully Nintendo learned from last year's E3 and try a different strategy.

Good thing you corrected yourself when you said booth babes instead of booth boobs or we'd probably just get a bunch of fat, sweaty guys with man-boobs instead.

Duh! It's a frickin' reference to E32009!! Don't try to downplay your own event. People expect the big one, because this IS the big one!! I've never seen an event about videogames as awesome as E3. Stop taking interviews with Gamedaily and get to work!! Make this a big E3!!!

Despite me not having a PSP nor PS3, I'm still very excited for Sony in this conference, at least several upcoming games will be demoed, new games announced, maybe a PS3 price cut, I hope there will be a true PSP2, not another PSP refresh, etc.

I just hope there will be good announcements for the PC too! Please let the GTA4 DLC come to PC!

Cosmo

I have the feeling the PSP GO won't be a PSP 2. Rather, I think it's going to be a regular PSP with some dedicated HDD space, memory stick expansion slot, no UMD and at a price point comparable or even lower than the DSi.

I wouldn't expect a brand new PSP 2 to be announced until next years E3.

These are all just my hunches.

While I'm not against the concept of booth babes, it saddens me that people react the way they do about them.

I'm media. I'm there for the games, for the conferences, and for the games. I'd rather you devote your allocated budget for scantily-clad women into your booth, or possibly your game. Or swag.

i think that's the problem, because everything else about game announcements is just boring press releases, it's nice to have a little excessive flash and dazzle

Hmmmm, looks like total I'm around 3800.

With one single comment on the NFL Fanhouse blog. I remember it well, I commented on a Favre article and the following occurred - http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2009/01/26/king-on-favre-i-think-hes-had-enough/

That's correct, I was called a homo in short order, and haven't gone back to the site at all apart from just googling for that link :P Deadspin isn't too bad sometimes...

I'm almost at 2700 on this account. I had one account that I lost because my e-mail changed (at the time I verified all comments through e-mail) and 1200+ on my previous account that got banned for giving a controversial opinion on a hot button social stance. I'm not even going to mention what it was. If you want to read the thread here it is: http://www.joystiq.com/2008/08/09/gaygamers-e3-scrapbook-series/

The comments got deleted so you can't read those but you can look in there and check it out. I was perfectly civil and in fact had people calling me hateful things for having a different opinion.

Was an industry ticket Markez, so you probably wouldn't have had the proper credentials to attend. But I haven't used me advanced regestration codes in 3 years so I have no idea how strict they are now.

Just to clarify ticket = pass. And the industry ticket only means you get priority registration and attendance to the pre-E3 conference and its 400 dollars cheaper *wink wink.*

That was back in August, your still crying about it? I cannot believe you are 23 years old. I faced racism after the 9/11 attacks when people thought I was a "terrorist" despite me being Indian and I never whined and bitched like you did, GET OVER IT.

You are the racist here, you had actually thought I was white, you thought my posts made me sound "white". So, do you assume if someone is racist against blacks, they are white? Sadly, I see some blacks that dish out racism, I've seen them do it to whites but can't take even a microgram of it.
