Big Three Confirm Pre-E3 Events

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the who's-shocked-raise-your-hand dept.

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."

    ...to the point that I don't even see why we have a news story. What's next? "Nintendo thinks that fun games are useful". "Microsoft thought it would help to get a head start". "The Sky is blue, but only if you write your game that way".

    To counter this non-news news, Nintendo fanobys (especially those eager for the Revolution) might want to check out AOL's sweepstakes page. A contest, starting today and ending on the 28th, gives one lucky winner a three day visit to CA, passes to E3, and to be the first commoner to play the actual Revolution.

    Did I mention you'd play it in front of an audience of thousands? Unfortunatly, only one entry per person. :(
