It’s that time of the year again where computer geeks and gamers alike
rejoice at the wonders of E3! E3 is the Electronic
Entertainment Expo, the yearly tradeshow where the computer and video game
industries get together and showcase their upcoming games and game related
merchandise.
E3 is put on by the Entertainment
Software Association (ESA), and is an industry-only event. To attend, you
need to have a professional connection to the computer or gaming industry. By
the way, yes, Geeks.com will be attending.
For now we’re taking a look at the E3 anticipation, what we’re expecting to
see, and what you might expect to hear from E3 this year.
There have already been some happenings at E3. Some of the first big news
bytes (get it?) have to do with the PS4
and the Xbox One.
Both have high price tags, with the PS4 at $399 and the Xbox One at $499. The
PS4 will feature Music
Unlimited, Redbox Instant,
and Flixter as bonuses in addition to the
gaming mayhem. The Xbox One’s price does include a Kinect and Gamepad if that
eases the pain on the wallet a bit.
MicroSoft
has also previewed a redesigned Xbox 360 with an estimated retail price of
$199.99 for 4GB, $299.99 for 250GB and $299.99 for the 4GB Kinect bundle. Xbox
Live Gold subscribers will soon be able to download two full games for free,
including choices like Assassin's Creed 2 and Halo 3. Also
announced were some new upcoming Xbox 360 games, including Splinter Cell:
Blacklist, Batman: Arkham Origins, Grand Theft Auto V, and Lightning
Returns: Final Fantasy XIII.
