With E3 just around the corner, many software publishers are releasing information on their products being displayed at the show. This year's E3 will likely be one of the most signifigant shows, as Sega is rumoured to be getting back into the market with new hardware, Sony is presenting their challenger to Nintendo's GameBoy Advance, the Sony PSP, SquareEnix is showing off Final Fantasy 12 and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, The Nintendo DS is being unveiled, and I find myself for the first time in a few years looking forward to the show.
Of course, this year, unlike other years, I'm not attending, and I'm actually glad. Although I do miss out on a free trip to LA, and having my meals comped for a few days, I won't miss everything else about E3, and I can sit here in front of the computer and read all the news about the games without needing to walk the convention hall, or be denied entry because I don't have a press pass. Coverage of the show has gotten to the point where I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not being there, which makes both my feet and my eardrums very happy.
