The Entertainment Software Association prepares to launch its official E3 news website.

Although PGC is still your best bet for Nintendo coverage, you might want to keep an eye on the official E3 site for show news...we certainly will be.

WWW.E3INSIDER.COM GOES LIVE MAY 10TH TO OPEN

E3EXPO'S "VIRTUAL DOORS" TO GAMERS

Consumer Web Site Delivers All-New Exclusive "Fan Cam"

LOS ANGELES--May 5, 2004--E3Insider (www.e3insider.com), the

official consumer Web site of the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo

(E3Expo), will go live on May 10 - 14 with improved features and a new

one-of-a-kind "fan cam" offering the general public an unprecedented

look inside the world's premier interactive entertainment trade show,

the Entertainment Software Association (ESA) announced today.

The site, now in its second year, delivers an all-access virtual

tour of E3Expo that is uniquely available to the official event site.

E3Insider will not only provide the most comprehensive coverage

available of the trade-only show, but for the first time ever will

offer raw and unedited "fan cam" footage unavailable anywhere else.

Through the "fan cam," consumers will be able to see the show through

the eyes of a gamer who will have unlimited access to the games and

products, exhibit floor, backstage and other restricted areas at the

Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC), where the show will be held.

"E3Insider opens the official 'virtual doors' to E3Expo so that

consumers from around the globe have the opportunity to 'See What's

Next' for the computer and video game products that will change the

future of interactive entertainment," said Douglas Lowenstein,

president of the ESA, the trade association that represents U.S.

computer and video game publishers and the owner of E3Expo. "This

year's improved site delivers even more exclusive ways to access the

show, offering game enthusiasts a uniquely in-depth view of the event

that makes E3Insider the best place on the web to experience the

show."

By offering consumers a way to see the show through interactive

coverage, photo galleries, video clips, news from exhibitors and

interviews with industry leaders, E3Insider will provide the ultimate

virtual show experience. The site drew more than ten million hits

during the three days of the 2003 show and double that number in the

month after.

E3Expo is the world's premier trade show for computer and video

games and related products, and will be held May 11 - 14, 2004. The

show, now in its tenth year, is owned by the Entertainment Software

Association (ESA), the U.S. association dedicated to serving the

business and public affairs needs of the companies publishing

interactive games for video game consoles, handheld devices, personal

computers, and the Internet. For more information, please visit

www.e3expo.com or www.theesa.com.

E3Expo is a trade event, not open to the general public. Only

working journalists with qualified media outlets will be eligible to

register for media badges. No one under the age of 18 will be

admitted, including infants. This policy is strictly enforced.
