E3 06: Scoping out the LACC

Microsoft does have ads out.

Cool! NWN2 - i'm waiting!

All I can say is the Xbox 360 games out and the ones coming out in the future look great. Looking forward to seeing the Gears of War preview on e3. PS3 I am wondering what the graphics will be like since last years were on a simulator. Sony won't let us down though especially when they have been toting it so much lately. If it does suck screw them and I am an Xbox man for life.

"First!! How come Nintendo and Microsoft don't have ads?" dont be a retard, microsoft and gears of war are kinda hand in hand, DUHHHH

They dont really need ad's. Anyone who plays games knows what this is. Personally, I think Sony needs the Ad's becuase they had so many fans of the PS2 that they need this hype. Also, I think that the PS3 may not be as good looking as expected, nothing personal, its just that all we saw last year was trailers, who knows, Killzone could of been a cutscene. WE SHALL SEE!

Wow look at the size of them, and here we had trouble putting tint on My brothers car...

I can't wait to see what Sony has to offer, plus I hope Atari makes a comeback. It would be nice to see Atari come up with some cool stuff as well as I came from a generation that grew up with the Atari 2600.

i think it's comedy that the army is advertising so heavily in gaming industry. i guess the graphics in iraq are better and there's no lag. i guess they see a link between the brainless violence in these wonderful games and the order of war. lets get our troops home b4 the ps3 release :) for their sake. ...oh and this marketing strat seems unethical btw.

Ads Ads Ads now there is competition b/w ads !

Da Vinci Code on the PSP, does anyone know if that's happening?

PlayStation rules All!! It's a SONY!!

i wish i was there!

the reason xbox hasnt really had any movement on the sony markey share is the fact that the last 10 years sony has been know for 3d gaming. there are synonimous with be related to gaming now. Its more expexted for microsoft to make a game console rather than sony. Sony did and the ps1 out sold the xbox in 2005. that speaks for its self in japan that even the ps2 outsells the xbox 360. it will take 2 or 3 xbox generations to equal the amount of ps2 sold in the last 5 years. xbox is dead after less than five and the ps2 could survive at least 10 years like the ps1. sony knows they cant abandon a 100 million ps2 users like crapsoft did with the xbox 18millions users. i dont like mircrosoft gaming devison, i like the pc microsoft. i hate crapbox but competition is good for the consumer.

its amazing how many losers have master chief as a profile icon. get a life you losers.

I guess the reason why Sony is pasting all of these ads is probably because their success predominantly rides on the success of the PS3 and Playstation products.

My Response: Looking at the pics above...seems like Micrsoft is advertising Gears of War. so i think that fixes the problem....also...if you look at the building from far away...it looks like a giant N64 Cartridge.

E3. woot woot

Haha,I love the gigantic Gears of War ad!,Xbox 360 exclusive baby!

I think Nintendo has enough momentum with the name change and their revolutionary controller, Sony needs to reassure people that the PS3 will be released within a resonable timeframe

sweet

n-gace is dead......i cant wait n-gace 2!

Sony ~ All flash and no substance? I guess we will find out soon enough.

btw.... look at the last pic ...... see that little guy hanging the sign? those posters are HUGE!!!!!

e3 is gonna rule this year..

sweet

SONY RULEZZZZ hahaha ya all nintendo and ms fanboyz hahaha

It would've been great to actually be there when Nintendo knocks everybody off their feet...

I wanna be there!

I wouldn't get too hung up on who is actively advertising on billboards. Don't forget, advertising can take many forms and just because a Company decides to use bill board space, doesn't necessarily mean that it has the most exciting news. There's always limited space available for bill boards at these events and they'll probably cost a fair amount. That probably means that a lot of Companies decided that they'd could more effectively use funds elsewhere, possibly a better stand in the hall for example or even hire more contract staff to run around doing face to face PR work in the actual show.

Welcome Change...Play Beyond?

I like these kind of E3 adds. My favorites were the ones for the Dreamcast.

better be prepared >>

what the hell, this is going to be huge!!

Actually, the Xbox 360 sound is triggered every time a convention center door is opened. The internal walls of the convention center have also been contoured and calibrated to reverberate all echoing soundwaves into the word "Microsoft." All badged attendees will receive a retinal implant (the surgery is almost undetectable and lasts approximately 0.5 seconds) that doubles both as a secondary form of convention center identificitaion and a milimeter-accurate GPS tracking system as part of Microsoft's next viral marketing campaign. As a closing surprise, the convention center will be officially renamed to the "Microsoft Vista." All surrounding freeways will also be called the Microsoft 91, Microsoft 360, and Microsoft 5 respectively. Finally, the bullet you then use to end your life will carry the Microsoft logo, and leave the emblem permanently imprinted in your brainstem. Jump in.

Damn these people are more promoting E3 rather than their own products!!!

where are the adds for the cool companies NINTENDO and MICROSOFT~

Bigger every year...

Man it's already shaping up to be huge!

That's really huge ads.

wow

Cool,E3 is JUST hous away

I will be there soon!!

I wish I was there. I am planning on going next year

I want to see Sony turn the LACC into a giant Ps3 using thier super-secret 4D technology!

I want to see some Nintendo ads to see how Nintendo plans to market the Wii.

Damn... wish I could be there. Want to all the games on various systems that I want and the next gen stuff. Particularly excited about Nintendo Wii and Sony PS3 stuff (that's one crazy huge ad from Sony). Seems all eyes are on them. Still want to see PC, DS, PS2, and PSP stuff as well.... It's like a dream to be there but all this work..... bah just have to settle for the Weekly Famitsu, import mags and Gamespot coverage. Maybe I'll head to next year's E3 with an inside friend.

Some thought the N-Gage is dead. A stupid question. Everyone know the T-Virus infected the N-Gage. Its' a Zombie.

more adds needed for wii in order to make people like it

why do you people ponder such stupid crap? They are ads.....who cares why MS or Nintendo don't have any? Really? At least find something worthy enough to contemplate!

Did anyone happen to notice the N-Gage ad? HA! Why in gods name are they still even trying?
