E3 2009 Retruns to L.A., Possible Public Attendance

The Electronic Entertainment Expo may return to its former glory in 2009.

According to a report from Gamespot, E3 2009 will be up-scaled to nearly the point prior to the abysmal business summit facade beginning to 2007.

E3 will return to its roots in Los Angeles in June and two conflicting reports from G4 and a Newsweek blog state that the public may or may not be allowed to visit the booths of the top developers in the industry.

A recent update by Newsweek blogger N'Gai Croal has stated that his original report that the conference will be open to the public for two days make be incorrect. According to Gamespot, G4's report stated that the public will not be allowed into E3 although more media officials may have access to the media and business summit - I wonder if that means me?

Lets hope for the sake of gamers, and advertising purposes for the developers, the public will be allowed to attend E3 2009 because the best advertising is word-of-mouth. Allowing the public to play these games the best way to initiate word-of-mouth advertising because gamers can go home and tell their friends about how cool the 21st Madden game is and blog about it later.
