E For All: Quiet, Very Quiet
October 18th, 2007 by Benjamin KuoI spent the morning over at the E For All conference, the new computer gaming show which is attempting to step in where the former E3 Expo—now downsized, and refocused on just insiders–used to stand. E For All, however, seems like a ghost of the former E3 Expo. Despite lines crawling out the door to get in to the early “VIP” sessions today, the exhibitors there barely filled the South Hall of the LA Convention Center. The biggest exhibitors here were Nintendo, INTEL, and HP; whereas last year’s E3 Expo was dominated by enormous booths from Microsoft, Sony, and others.
On the upside (well, for socalTECH at least), there are lots of exhibitors from local So-Cal companies. And, as some others have mentioned, there are no lines for computers in the press room and registration.
