E3 Wrapup

Posted by michael on from the game-till-you-drop dept.

If you read Slashdot with any sort of regularity you probably noticed a lot of game posts last week - new stuff being shown off at the Electronic Entertainment Expo. Let's wrap up the last few submissions and put the Expo to bed for a year. Neil Yates writes "210 pictures, 56 booth babe shots, spread over five pages - what more can we say; this is the killer E3 Expo pictorial feature - only on Envy News. Dial-up users beware - this is broadband territory!" angkor submits a link to a NYTimes story noting that sales of video games were way up last year, no doubt driven by the new consoles. And we had another submission, but the link seems to be broken, so I guess that's about it.

    News for dorky consumers, stuff that matters to their capitalist overlords.

    I wonder if they're going to attribute increased sales to "strengthed" copy protection schemes. You know, those strengthened schemes that force legitimate users to find and download the NoCD crack.

    Don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to a 2003 chock full of games whose copy protection scheme isn't compatible with my CD-ROM. I'm sure it's stopping pirates, though!
