I hope that's not the only thing that bothered you about that game trailer lol

I would wager a guess that you didn't read the article, and that you only glanced at the grid. Both the Sony televisions and all of the high ranking plasmas are faster than 20ms in actual performance. I wouldn't say that's repeating what you said, since you talked about 20ms and 30ms.

Leo Bodnar would be the column I was referring to, and Sony is the only one under 20ms.

And like I said, if you want to use the other camera column.. the Sony panels are still twice as fast as anything else (their best is 6ms, next best is 16ms). Twice as fast. If being more than twice as good as the nearest competitor isn't justification for a premium price point, I don't know what is. That was my only point.

Info on new 3ds game Codename: Steam here

In the Q & A section they asked if this has impacted FExSMT and they said no it is on schedule.

So what was that new hardware that nintendo was working on that was rumored many times over the year? I thought it was supposed to be announced at e3.

It shouldn't be Amiibo, Nintendo working on a competitor to skylanders has been known for ages now.

Giant Bomb, never change please. Greg Miller is satan and it is killing me. Can't stop laughing.

[Kaisha]

Shirtless Greg no less, and the best part is none of them are aware of it since no recording headsets.

[Doombear]

That makes it even better! No one knows satan is RIGHT THERE. Except Vinny. Vinny knows everything.

E3 could be in New Orleans, New York, or San Francisco in 2016

Every year for the past three, a report surfaces stating the ESA could move E3 to a venue other than the Los Angeles Convention Center. This year, however, the subject has come early this year, thanks to a report from CNBC.

Speaking during a media dinner Sunday evening, Gallagher said E3 was a “world class show” which “deserves a world class venue.”

“The Los Angeles Convention Center is no longer a top-tier property,” he said, citing the age of the facility as one reason. “The time to make this decision is relatively short,” he said. “We’ll consider all cities that can improve the experience.”

Time is short, actually. The contract agreement between the ESA and LACC expires in 2015, so a plan must be put in place for E3 2016. It takes a good year or more to plan such a large event, ya know.

Back in 2012, Gallagher said if construction the Farmers Field football stadium – which would result in part of LACC to be rebuilt – interfered with the show, E3 would be moved elsewhere. The construction was dependent upon an NFL team relocating to LA, which CNBC states is now “unlikely.”

Construction on the grounds was cited back in 2011 as a possible issue as well, but an agreement was reached which would see the show staying put through 2015.

While Gallagher did not name other cities, he said the ESA was speaking with two other venues in the greater LA area; however, the CNBC article quotes ESA insiders who state Chicago almost won a bid in the last round of E3 negotiations.

Other candidates included New Orleans, New York and San Francisco

The show moved to Santa Monica in 2007 and 2008 and ten years prior to that, it was held in Atlanta in 1997 and 1998. The latter didn’t go over well with developers, as most as based in California, resulting in an increase in travel expenses.

“This is a very important period we’re in,” said Gallagher. “We’re open minded. The Los Angeles Convention Center could be a world class venue, but with other venues, we have that right now.”

Take it to New Orleans (or a more convenient Florida location), open it up to the public.

Thanks.

If it goes to NYC I'll be there.
