The previous shows were monsters! A couple of years ago they put a ban on booth babes (which was odd, since attendees must be over 18 year of age, and work in the industry). It's not like it was ever a "family" event like SDCC is attempting. Some of the after parties, however.... insanity. Porn stars, drunken parties... but you have to know the right people. As for breaking news? Nah, nothing so big. Even Nintendo who is currently holding well with the Wii, is treading water. I'm fine with that, too. Hopefully, the "console race" is old enough news that we can put developer's feet to the fire. I don’t mind the low-key style E3. The previous shows were monsters!

The biggest is probably Sony's revelation that they're trimming $100 off the PS3 and releasing a bundled 80GB version at the original price. Lots of news of interesting games coming up (Mario Kart for the Wii, Silent Hill 5) but nothing earth-shattering. There really hasn’t been that much big news this year.
