E3 will be in Atlanta this year (May 27-30). E3 is described as a closed trade event. It is intended for the Interactive Entertainment Industry (retailers, developers, publishers, etc.). Tickets are very inexpensive. $45 Exhibits tickets if you pre-register by 4/24/98. Tickets are $75 at the door. Go to www.e3expo.com for more information. If at all possible, I suggest you pre-register, and pick up your pass the day before the show. Why am I posting this message? I attended last year’s E3. I live in the Atlanta area and I considered this a great opportunity to see what goes on in this yearly event that I have read about, but have never personally attended. I was not disappointed, but I know a lot of people did not enjoy the location. At the time, I was not a member of the Entertainment Industry, but I wanted to see what was displayed in the way of the Net Yaroze. There was not much, but that is another story. I think that anyone who owns a Net Yaroze should be considered a part of the Entertainment Industry; maybe someone from Sony can comment on this issue. I strongly encourage anyone who can attend E3 to do so. You will not regret the experience. If you love games, this is the place to be. You basically get to see and play every major (and minor) game that will be released in the next few months. I assume that everyone that owns a Yaroze likes to play games (or at least enjoys games), and this is the ultimate game junkie’s dream. I seriously doubt that any "outsiders" actually land jobs at E3, but I guess anything is possible. I would like to take a head count of members who will be attending. I will be there, and would really like to meet any other members who plan on attending. -- Jonathan [Please remove NO-SPAM to email me]
