The reaction from Trav and Rob about the dog and frisbee thing on the Wii was classic...if Ben had paused for a second after saying "not for the hardcore set" I think Trav would've lost it. LOL

Travis looks like he thinks he's "very important." LOL

You guys get -1 for enthusiasm. Maybe you should send some younger punks to do the show next year.

as some one who is currently in school for game art design, i can say i see little reason for E3 any more myself , the game industry has jsut grown so much bigger than what it used to be , many developers are now house hold names. A lot of these developers don't really need a massive press confrence gathering to get news out on thier new titles that they are working on. though saddly i admit i would have loved to gone to an E3 after i get in the industry but given the trends im not sure it will exsist any more when i finish school. In the long term i think shows that show case to the public wiull contiue to grow , while Press confrence shows such as E3 will fade out. while there is still aneed to get new of new content out to the public (consumers) there just is not much need for shows that focus on giving information to the press , since more often than not the press go out of thier way now to get news on thier own. keep in mind E3 is a press show and was never open to general public any way , so i can easly see it disappearing in the future.
