Following the E3 Media and Business Summit in Santa Monica this past July, much of the industry had a mixed reaction to the new format for what used to be gaming's biggest annual show. One of the common complaints, however, was that not having a central location was a major hassle when trying to get from meeting to meeting.
Today the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) has made it clear that that won't be a problem again, as E3 will be headed back to its old venue: the Los Angeles Convention Center. Don't expect huge crowds, booth babes and game demos, however. "While there will be opportunities for game demonstrations, the 2008 E3 Media & Business Summit will not feature the large trade show environment of previous years," ESA stated.
E3 will once again focus "on the business of the computer and video game industry, with an emphasis on press events and small meetings with media, development, and other key sectors."
