The ESA (Entertainment Software Association) has announced that the E3 industry convention will continue to be held at the LA Convention Center through 2015.

The area around the Convention Center is undergoing construction to accomodate AEG's Farmers Field sports and events facility where the current West Hall stands and near the adjacent Staples Center.

The ESA has announced that for E3 2013 in particular, the event will be held at what remains of the Convention Center, the nearby LA Live complex, and "a plethora of venues throughout downtown Los Angeles and the city."

E3 2013 will take place June 11-13.

So the "big announcement" was to say: "Hey! Nothing will change!! Whoop whoop!"?

I wish it moved to New York. I was always confused about the Pacific Time schedule it had.

Kind of a bummer, as I think it would be good (and another genius thought by me) if they moved the locale every year to one of 3 locations: L.A, New York, Chicago. I'll be in Colorado soon enough though so it's not much of a trip to L.A. from there

I guess I should be happy that it's going to stay in my home state. I still would not want to go to E3 myself due to giant crowds and crappy food.

I'll be taking that Monday off of work again I think.
by Apricot Monday, July 30, 2012 at 09:18 AM

Awe. I was hoping that it would move somewhere in the east coast. Oh well. Also, it's a good thing they announced the dates for E3 2013. I was wondering about that.
by The Destroyer Monday, July 30, 2012 at 09:19 AM

Come to the east coast sometime...

AH HELL NAW
by The Murph Monday, July 30, 2012 at 09:38 AM

It would be cool if it was held in diferent cities around the U.S. LA is nice but some people may never get to experience it because of the distance. Just a thought.
by drsoko Monday, July 30, 2012 at 09:58 AM

They should find the exact center of the united states and put it there.
by somebodyissilent Monday, July 30, 2012 at 10:00 AM

Well ok than

E3 deserves a better town than L.A., at the end of this 3 year stint hopefully it'll be in New York.

Boo!
by Darkkat48 Monday, July 30, 2012 at 10:16 AM

Boo! E3 should be in Chicago. Its a nice central point that is easy to get to.
by x-XMantisX-x Monday, July 30, 2012 at 10:42 AM

Lame. Everyone whines about it being in L.A. anyway.
by A Girl Not Named Charlie Monday, July 30, 2012 at 10:50 AM

SERIOUSLY? GOSH DANG IT.
by LilJOV Monday, July 30, 2012 at 11:07 AM

E3 should be in Orlando, Florida. Nice weather, good convention centers, and I could go to Universal Studios afterwards. lol
