E3 2008: Next Week (Updated with Schedule)
It’s that time again. For the second year in a row, E3 is being held in it’s new mid-July position, but unlike last year, it’s going back to its original roots somewhat, and is being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Instead of tens of thousands in attendance like in 2006, the ESA is only expecting 4,000 individuals this year thanks to the changes that have been made to what was the regular E3. This site has gone over the politics of E3 and how it was transformed in the past.
This year seems to be a much bigger year than E3 2007, and much more organized for the press that will be attending as well. E3 2008 runs from July 14th-17th, and Microsoft will be holding its Press Briefing on the 14th. More details on this will be posted within the week. Xbox.com also has its own E3 2008 Page ready to go.
