Personally, I think it's going to be an expo like E3 happening in Sydney in October hosted by EB. Count on it.

Re: WhatWhereWhen

Nah, it's an Aussie only event hosted by EB. A new console would be E3 size big (so it'd be months earlier than this event anyway).

I am almost sure now that it's some Expo thing like the E-Games expo that we have had in Melbourne the last few years, only being hosted by EB means it'll probably be better funded.

Re: WhatWhereWhen

Got most of it right HBK

The Where is slightly off

Re: WhatWhereWhen

Brisbane or Gold Coast, right?

It is a bit too high on the map to be Sydney.

Sure is

So is it GC or Brisbane, those that have been on here long enough can figure it

Re: WhatWhereWhen

Ahhh, QLD is a little big then I reckon based on that map.

So am I to assume this is more or less the usual event you go to each year that has now been opened up to the public?

 

[JordanWCE]

Re: WhatWhereWhen

Don't you usually head up to Brisbane for conventions?

Brisbane, that's my guess.

You would assume wrong...

Re: WhatWhereWhen

W shows you the logo for the World Cyber Games (W for WCG?)
T shows you a wrist strap like you need for access to a convention or booze (T for tickets?)
D shows you a turntable (D for DJ?)
L shows you lasers (like at a rave)
V shows you the map of a venue
M showed you the frame of a motorcycle

Hmmm...

At the moment EB’s home page is running some sort of viral takeover. We can now confirm that it’s related to an event that EB is planning – a video games exhibition that will be open to the public.

The EB Vendor show – an event which usually takes place in the Gold Coast bi-annually – is typically an industry video games events where publishers such as EA and Activision demo upcoming titles to prospective EB Store Buyers, in the hope that they’ll buy more stock of certain titles.

EB now want to open that event to the public.

According to the ex-employee, EB’s plan is to keep the vendor show open for an extra couple of days – over the weekend – and sell tickets, to give consumers an peek at upcoming games. It’s an attempt to give the general and inside look into the games industry, but is mostly intended as a way to get people excited about new games.

Considering the information we’ve gotten from EB’s website itself, we’re expecting the first show to kick off in Brisbane at roughly October this year.

More news as we get it.
