E3Expo. Am I the only one who sees the redundancy of the new name? Electronic Entertainment Expo Expo? While I forgave those who called ATMs ATM machines, E3Expo takes redundancy to a whole new stupid level, this level being the fire level, with the flame jets you have to dodge, and the lava pits.

i heard that they were downsizing or something.

Yeah. Slashdot reported something on downsizing it because the money spent by companies didn't really make the income worth it.

However, I really don't think this is a name change. It looks to me like they still refer to it as E3 and that the real full name has always been E3Expo.

*sigh*.... It's just a name, I don't want another Revelution/Wii thing again: "What the crap, Nintendo! The Wii? Are you retarded!?".
It could be called "E3-Dowhop diddly doo shlappah clappah maffah whoogly a shing shong shamma lamma", I wouldn't care.
But I'm not a gamer, so my opinion is probably invalid.

The Wii... is going to be awesome. End of story.

Haddi-Man!? Where the crap have you been for the past year and a half?!

I was not criticizing the name, I was criticizing how people reacted to it.

E4. Enough said.

Eh, E3 always had a nice ring to it. I can live with it being called E3Expo though. It's not like it's hard to get used to it. If they really are changing the name, then I don't really understand why, but it doesn't matter.

_________________
Actually, screw this. I'm out.

Nah, it shouldn't bother anyone. Besides, I bet lots of people will be calling it just plain E3 anyway.

Heh, if it was called that, I'd go for sure. Can you imagine them welcoming everyone to that? And the banners. The banners would be awesome....

Meh, I don't understand why they changed the name in the first place.

_________________

time to say what everybody else had said!!!

dont know why they changed it, it is odd, but in the end it is only a name and most people will call it E3.

Wait, I thought E3 was gone. Not name changed.

'splain plz.

Unless it's in some hidden meaning type thing. Like E3 is gone, but E4 is here.

_________________

It's not gone, it just won't be like it is now. Like, it won't be like a big huge gamer party, it'll be just an industry thingy.

I think it's really stupid... and it dampens my hopes of someday going to E3.

And in regards to: "where have you been?" Just taking a break, really. Decided to come back cause there is nothing good on the internet anymore. lol

E3Expo? What the crap? Shouldn't it be E2Expo, then?

Blargh. This (the whole retooling of E3) really puts a damper on my hopes to someday go.

It's graham-cracker-rific!

Yeah, I had always wanted to go. BADLY. And now, I just don't feel anywhere as interested. Of course, I'm right next to it, so I'd still go to one if I had the chance.
I don't really mind the name chage that much. I'll continue saying E3.

People, if you angry at E3Expo, go to PAX. If you hate PAX, then, well you never would have liked E3Expo anyways. They just changed the name. I'd say changing the name of a baseball stadium would be worse, because at least it's history.

Well, if your angry at PAX, go to the VG exhibit. I found it in a museum. Not anything like PAX or E3Expo. They only changed the name. They didn't even change it, it's been like that forever!

_________________

It's also been changed in another way, meaning that none of us can even go to it.

Not just the name.

I thought it was always called the E3 Expo.

I always wanted to go to an E3, mainly because it was the biggest video game expo around. But it would of probably been impossible for me to book a flight to LA or wherever at the age of 18 anyhow.

The downgrading of the expo sucked at first, but I've gotten over it mainly due to other expos happening around the year. Plus, G4 has said that Nintendo's confirmed them being part of E3 '07, so I'm happy.

^I gotta say...the above post really worked well with that sig.

Yeah, all this crap is, um, crap. They've pretty muched crushed what nearly every gamer wants to do someday: visit E3.
