The Entertainment Software Association sent word that they're expecting between 41,000 to 45,000 industry professionals at this year's E3, taking place at the Los Angeles Convention Center next week. It's important to note that online registration for the show will be closing on Wednesday, June 9 at 11PM Pacific.
"To help ensure attendees have a positive experience and are able to conduct business efficiently, we have to limit attendance to avoid congestion," the ESA noted. If you miss the online registration you can still purchase badges onsite, however.
This year's E3 should be particularly interesting. Not only will there be numerous 'AAA' games to check out, but Sony and Microsoft will really take off the gloves to showcase their motion control platforms, PlayStation Move and Project Natal. And Nintendo could "steal the show" with its 3DS portable unveiling. Additionally, Sony is likely to push 3D gaming on the PS3, showcasing some of its top franchises with 3D visuals.
IndustryGamers will be in LA all next week to bring you the news!

"Limit attendance to avoid congestion"? There are two entire halls at the LA Convention Center that the show is not even utilizing. I say fill 'em up and bring it on!

I was not aware of the application of NCAA rules to using the athlete’s likeness on the cover of NCAA Football, which is licensed and enforced by the NCAA. But I sure am glad you do, HBT. I mean, you want to school me on the rules of video games, go right on ahead.
