LOS ANGELES, April 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Combining the high stakes of the
Super Bowl, the excitement of the Oscars and the mania of March Madness, E3
-- the premiere event in the videogame universe -- hits Los Angeles May
9-12, and G4 will be in the thick of the action with three hours a day of
live, up-to-the-minute coverage. The network's weeklong coverage begins
with a special one-hour E3 Preview edition of "Attack of the Show,"
followed by four days of extensive live programming from the Los Angeles
Convention Center. Attack of the Show E3 Preview airs Monday, May 8 at 7:00
PM ET/PT. Four three-hour E3 06 Live "Attack of the Show" Specials will air
Tuesday through Friday, May 9-12, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM ET/PT.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), is the world's premiere trade
event exclusively dedicated to showcasing interactive entertainment and
educational software and related product. The worldwide annual focal point
for the computer and video game industry, E3 draws tens of thousands of
professionals to experience the future of interactive entertainment. The
most influential people leading the most innovative companies in the
business attend E3 to showcase and see groundbreaking new technologies and
never-before-seen products for computers, video game consoles, handheld
systems and the Internet.
G4's viewers look to the network for exclusive coverage, live demos of
the brand-new games and cutting-edge technology, and answers to the burning
questions surrounding the industry's biggest names: Will Nintendo
Revolution truly be as revolutionary as gamers hope it will be? Do
Microsoft's new games for the Xbox 360 live up to the excitement
surrounding last year's release of the console itself? And what's the
latest on Sony's PlayStation 3 -- will there be further delays, or is it
destined to dominate this holiday season?
"E3 is just the kind of full-throttle experience that G4 thrives on,
and that's why we are significantly increasing our coverage this year,
offering a deeper, richer E3 experience with weeklong coverage and three
hours a day of live programming," says Neal Tiles, President of G4. "No one
covers the videogame industry like G4 does: We've got knowledgeable,
passionate gamers on both sides of the camera. E3 is the event of the year
for us, and we are rising to the occasion by dramatically amping up our
in-the-trenches coverage, putting viewers right in the middle of the
convention floor."

all week:
