Big Three Confirm Pre-E3 Events
In unsurprising news, Gamasutra reports that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft all have pre-E3 events planned. From the article: "These conferences, which taken place during the two days preceding the three-day expo, have historically laid the groundwork for the entire week's events, revealing key information about the company's plans for the next year. 2005's press conferences revealed many initial details about the upcoming Revolution and PlayStation 3 consoles, as well as the Xbox 360 which launched later that year."
And here I was looking at it funny, thinking :
"Since when do car manufacturers do E3?"
But that couldn't be it. Slashdot wouldn't cover car news! Start up the lateral thinking thrusters!
"Well, they used to refer to IBM, Amdahl and Hitachi as the Big Three too I guess. But they won't exactly be at E3 either."
No go on that decisive thrust into thought. I fell back to 'Attack Plan Beta':
"IBM, HP, and Compaq? That must be it! Err. Compaq bought HP."
"No, wait. HP bought Compaq."
"Could it be IBM, HP and Dell? That must be it!"
Then I see the article, and was most unimpressed.
The Big Three are General Motors, Ford, and (Daimler-)Chrysler, boys. Have been since since the 60's.

Why would you share that information with the horde, you fool?!
