E3 2005
Finally, with each passing day we get closer to E3. This year's Electronic Entertainment Exposition is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on May 16th to May 20th and is yet again sold out and not open to the public. This is "THE" event of the year in the videogaming industry which not only showcases upcoming games for all platforms but also has all the latest gadgets. This year's E3 attendees expect to be treated to over 1000 new products inlcuding of course the Xbox 360 (to be released supposedly in November 2005) and the Playstation 3 (probably released around the same time but in 2006).
