E3 Gets Ready To Roll

The big trade-only computer and gaming show is revving up and ready to roll out next week.

Next week – from June 2-4, to be exact – 200 computer, technology and video game publishers and developers will converge on this year’s E3 Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Michael D. Gallagher, president and CEO of the Entertainment Software Association, which represents the U.S. computer and video game publishers and owns the E3 Expo, said:

"This year’s E3 Expo has garnered overwhelming support from members, exhibitors, attendees and media. We anticipate a blockbuster show fully-loaded with industry news, unveilings, introductions and announcements that will continue to drive our industry forward."

This year’s E3 Expo 2009 T-Shirt Contest was won Christine Sununu from New Hampshire, and her design will be on sale at the site, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Midnight Mission, a Los Angeles-based organization for the homeless.
