GO3 Electronic Entertainment Expo To Replace E3?
dowlingw writes "With the recent announcement that E3 has been downsized, a similar high-profile event, GO3 Electronic Entertainment Expo 2007 is being held in Perth, Western Australia and promises to showcase products and services from vendors worldwide, especially those in the South-East Asia region. It also looks like everyone might get a similar event closer to home."
Wow! It's about time something like this came to Perth - Perth is an amazing venue which will be able to cater for both the convention side of things and the nightlife side of things. Exhibitions that are always held in large(r) cities can get boring - doesn't matter if you're in Sydney, New York or some other large city it's all basically the same.
It's refreshing to see that some companies want to change things a little bit and get out to less know cities that have heaps of personality and heaps to offer the professional and casual gamer who through it's gates...
I know that (as soon as I can see the site - because it's not Linux compat.) I'm going to be one of the first queing up for tickets to this event!
E3 is for game developers and the media to mix - this GO3 thing is not. By the simple fact that it has "Family" and "Kids" admission prices on their site means that it's not the serious hardcore thing E3 is/was.
Hell, E3 didn't even let people under the age of 18 to attend anyway.
